Savoring simple pleasures!!

Craving for the breeze and pleasant vibe,I've decided to travel away from the hustle and bustle of the big city,Almaty.It was an evocative journey.Vague in the beginning because honestly,I wasn't sure where I was heading to.How stupid of me,I wasn't bothered to ask my local friend at all.

Along the journey, I could see a spectacular view of white-fanged mountains,snow-covered pine trees and yellowish glow on the horizon.The entire sky was one great painting.As soon as I arrived at the destination, I could smell the village;a mixture of soil and cow's poop.Earthy much! I can vividly remember my first experience of brushing my teeth at the backyard while having a cow staring at me.

At nightfall, as the houses were merged together, I could hear people laughing and gossiping (maybe).These sounds combined with the warmth of fire woods make me feel tranquil as the tempting aroma of freshly-baked bread for tomorrow's breakfast wafts up to the space.I love how the day passed so incredibly slow here.

As today's harrowing materialistic world urges us to have a fancy lifestyle, I remained puzzled of how could they live without a proper road system,shops and my beloved internet connection?It's a place where your bucks were just a piece of...hmm...toilet paper?They created their own butter,jam and milked the cows and thank god I didn't criticize the son's prissy shirt since it was sewed by the mother😂Here, they appreciated every single thing and have attuned themselves to live in frugal lifestyle. Nothing lasts forever,but in this situation it might be preferable if this scene did.
