"As it was, the discipline - regional agriculture, agronomy, geography of agriculture."
"Before you go somewhere you need to carefully examine the area."
"We will not go to the southern slopes, we will go to the north".
"There are exactly dry fruits, nuts, marshmallow, camel thorn sugar and other mountain goodies that are famous for the whole of Small-An."
Wow!!!! And I did not know!
And that in the village of "Almond" or "Pistachio" or "Golden Apple", none of this is not?
I thought that these villages got their names because of the fact that these nuts and fruits grew there?!
"Well, you are right in principle, before, three hundred years ago, these villages were named after the fact that these mountain nuts grew nearby, rather even shrubs...".
"During the colonization, a lot of bushes were cut down, for making furniture, making charcoal, during the Second World War, the population was heated by tree bushes as the whole coal went to the front...".
"And by the beginning of the 1970s, only 4 percent of 100 percent remained, and by the beginning of 2000 only 2 percent remained."
"But now, after gaining independence, new saplings were planted in the mountains, and in thirty-five years, new bushes grew, the coverage was 35 percent...
... however, there were idiots who again began to cut down bushes for charcoal as the standard of living fell, so now we have only 15 percent coverage. "

"Vidio, the old masters, conserved them when Chingiz and his nomads came... but they did not have time to pa.s.s on the secret."
"And so they remained forgotten for centuries."
"And there are well functioning mines of the 18th and 19th centuries."

What did you find, bro?
"Yak-don or Marvorid"!
What?
"Pearl"!
"True, their quality was lower than the lake, river and sea, but they were also sold, used as handicrafts."
"What is interesting in the caves were white and blind foxes, but who skillfully caught fish, also without eyes and bats."
"And there were villages in the same place - Hisn, which from Arabic means - fort, S-arrfun from Arabic money changer, Fundukun - in Arabic means hotel, many works - fortresses in Arabic."
"What is interesting in the days of the Arab caliphate from the 8th century to the 14th century is exactly where one part of the Silk Road road lay..."

"And in the mountains they had forts and fortresses, along with fortified caravanserais, at that time, the Light pa.s.sed through the border of Arab civilization and freedom-loving nomads."
"Only ruins survived from these fortresses, villages to century 20, and they were destroyed after the war... when peasants, mountaineers, resisted against the local authorities, not wanting to pay taxes... not wanting to move from the mountains to the plains. the steppes... "
"But now most of those who moved from the mountains began to live richer, and they only come to the mountains for the summer to rest... the second and third generation of highlanders...".
"Although those who stayed, they also live not poorly."
"They are engaged in the sale of medicinal plants, nuts, dried fruits, hides and wild animal meat, gold, diamonds, sapphires, some of them are from black diggers...".
"In general, they live better than urban ones."
"Due to the fact that they do not need to pay high taxes, they introduced certain bonuses for working as shepherds."
"So Bro, we are going to the northern part, there the mountaineers are more peaceful, less suspicious of strangers from the city."
"You can safely do business with them."
"The guys there are acquaintances to me. There is our teacher, well, his relatives. She came to us in Stoica, stopped at my house. The teacher asked me. So we'll find common points of contact."
"Not entirely alien people."
"That's how it works in the East, through friends!"
"Then I spent my time in India, I had friends there at the Khati Barkala bazaar, i.e. the elephant site. I went to the market early in the morning at 6 o'clock. And all the shopkeepers told me - Dara, namaste! And I answered them "Good morning, sir, Madame! And they were joyful about it. In the morning, not all the shops worked, usually those shops where sellers did not know English usually opened."
"I am in international sign language, and I managed to buy a pair of words in Hindi to buy kefir or cheese called paneer. I told them - good morning, Sir! They answered Namaste, Dara! I showed three fingers and said - three kilograms for" bar rupees, "and they smiled and said, okay, fine."

"I don't remember exactly at the big bazaar, Paltan Bazar or Palik Bazar, there was a familiar sigch, a seller of sweets, he always made a 20 percent discount, since I brought my acquaintances to him. He was at the market was the most excellent and very tasty pastries "!
"Of course, India is a country of contrasts...."
How do you like China?
"What can I say, I was in Beijing and Shanghai."
"On the one hand you walk down the street and there are 100 skysc.r.a.pers at once in 130 floors... whereas we only have a couple of buildings in 55 floors...".
"Huge opportunities, many ideas, new technical ones... on the other hand, the air entrapment is very high. In Beijing, while I was, a large brick chimney was visible opposite my hotel window... periodically smoke was blowing out. the arrival time was gray. At first, I naively a.s.sumed that it was the natural color of the sky, from fog. But then one day I saw a beautiful, blue sky over Beijing, it was a terrific sight! "

"Ask Alice!"
Uhhh....
"Well, Yandex service, a.s.sistant"!
Ahhhh!
