 – Short Description: KYRGYZ YURT CAMP ETIQUETTE: (1) Enter clockwise; (2) Never step on the threshold; (3) Sit where indicated by host (honored guests on right, women sometimes at back); (4) Accept tea + food — always take offered food even if not hungry (refusal is rude); (5) KUMISS: take at least a few sips — making a face is deeply rude; (6) Remove shoes; (7) Photographs: ask first — always appreciated. THE KYRGYZ YURT: the standard structure takes 30min to assemble + disassemble — extraordinary engineering. The felt walls (kigiz) provide excellent insulation. A central fire hole provides heat + cooking.
