Although the ranch has been snowing, the temperature is also low, but most people are still here to experience horse riding with interest the national customs. However, due to poor riding, and no one dared to put horses to experience the feeling of flying. Only in the ranch slowly. End of the episode that occurred Shi Hai. A colleague accidentally lost the camera's lens cap. As a result, all the herdsmen have helped with the search. As the local large, the lens cap is black, at a time when there is no long grass pastures, exposing the black land. Such a big place, the lens cap can imagine the hard to find. Just do not expect that we have to launch vehicle ready to leave, a Kazak girl gallop over, holding hands, is precisely that the lens cap. To show our appreciation to her 10 money tips. Unexpectedly, she refused to close, in our bent, she was embarrassed to accept it had. And morals of the simplicity here is obvious.
