Yes, I saw them playing that Central Asian game ...



Called Bushkazi in Afghanistan, in Kyrgyzstan it's called Uluk Tartoosh, which means almost exactly Carpe Capram: seize the goat!

This picture is representative of the action; the fact that you cannot see the goat (I think it's in the hand of the man with the red stripe on his anorak) is only one of the things which has impeded the global spread of this game.

LOL, these pictures are awesome.

This one in particular is splendid!

If you could put them under a LJ cut it would be appreciated, though, they are killing my friends page.
