		<description>kazakh tili tirligimning tynysy,Abylaidin kylyshy
Osy sozde jatyr tagdyrymnin bir  ushy,
Kazakh tiliding maselesi mulde tipte maz emes, 
Bayagy kazakh halky kemiske ketken emes
Kyzyng ketti ashyk bo&#039;gse, biyk o&#039;kshe jymyngdaidy aksha korse, ar  namys kaldy tapatu, ananyng ak Suti  jatkkkan jok  tu&#039;kte aktalyp,
Naizaning u&#039;shymen kylyshtyng ju&#039;zimen korgap edi kairan babam.
Sol engbekterin aktamagan kazagym, tilim,dinim salt dasturum ku&#039;ru&#039;p barady.
Aiman did u think before to write ur coments about my Kazakh nation? U are trying to answer for all Kazakh people, like Kazakh girls prefer foreign people, do u know how much the Kazakh people nowadays? So if girls will marry to foreigners sure the kids of that girl will be other nationality right?
I agree with Nurjan, but he was lil bit route with, however, u told that everybody was looking to ur husband, in this case u r showing that kazakhs are wild, u r put down ur nation, u r not proud to me a kazakh, If u would, u. Did not to marry to foreign man. Don&#039;t tell that u Kazakh, I&#039;m really dissoponted on Kazakh girls.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m Mexican American and had the privilege to work in Tengiz for 3 yrs. and it was the best experience I had of working with another nationality. The Men and Women there were the best. Of course like any other race there are bad people, but the people that I call my Friends and some I even consider my Brothers and Sisters. I thought that it was the most Beautiful thing that the younger generation thought of their Families well being and many were the sole providers for the Families. Many here in America only think of themselves and only wait to see what the Parents give to them. I Truly admire them for that. I truly believe that the Kazakh Women are the most intellegent women I know. Just very sad that they are not recognized and appreciated for their knowledge but only noticed for their Beauty. If I could start my life over again I would only Marry a Kazakh Woman because of their strong Family beliefs and the way they care for their Husbands. The Men that I know are very respectful and I treated them with respect and I never had any problems. I could understand their feelings about Foreigners working in their Country disrespecting their Cultural and the Women. I hope for someday to return and be with my Friends again. But I could see that great Country will be Worldwide respected because of their contribution to mankind by their younger generation in the Future.</description>

		<description>I would like to reply to Nurjan.
Nurjan I think you are Kazakh boy and I am Kazakh girl...And I was reading your comment about that lady this is really sad.Those words what you wrote : This is not sincere. Looking for any wealthy foreigner to get marry. That lady doesn’t respect herself, how would she expect men to respect her. This is a prostitution to some extend. If I were a foreigner working in Aksai and meet girls with attitudes like that, I would think Kazak women are prostitutes. Shame on you girls, where is your pride? How do you think we should look at you after that, how do you think we should treat you?
 Yes I am with you at that point that if lady doesn’t respect her self man will not either, but I am really refuse to accept those words that : I would think Kazak women are prostitutes. Shame on you girls, where is your pride? How do you think we should look at you after that, how do you think we should treat you? How can you think like that? 
 How could you write like that look if you (we) Kazakh people don’t respect each other what do you think somebody going to do that for us? How can we judge people like that with strong words? We don’t have right to do that.  We have to respect each other, and we have to respect our gender it doesn’t matter if you are female, male, fat, or thin I want to tell you that WE ARE EAQUAL. And how Leila pointed out that now females’ are politics too, it is true, but still we have those women who still think like that lady in the bus. It is really disappointed me, but even thought I think we can stop it and if people will change their mine I thin we can be better than before, we strong enough to improve our self.   And from that I want to tell that a lot of women thinks like that lady, and we don’t have to ignore that or just comment like that, we have to look forward and think what could we do to stop it or to improve. We have to start doing something not just judge someone. And finally we will be at that point where we can say that: YES WE DID IT!!! And I really hope that one day we will tell that. 
     Than you .</description>

		<description>&quot;A girl … was sitting next to me [in a mini-bus]. Like thunder in clear sky she began to chatter with slender voice…: “Foreigners are better than Kazakhs and Russians, they are polite and well mannered, they don’t know how to swear and don’t steal!” To say that I was taken aback isn’t even going to cover it. With astonishment, I was examining her face, and wondering where she came from. I wanted to answer, but she continued: “they even treat women better, than the Soviet men; I wish to marry a foreigner”.
