Traveling is a kind of sugary disease. After every visited country, you wanna taste more flavors. To discover new places, to meet new cuntures and to have them turns into your only dream. This is the same for me; however, my trip to Central Asia has brought the most valuable ones in my life. "Kök Börü" is only one of these. Indeed, I came across this traditional sport / game by chance. I was just a new student in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and "If you didn't ride Kyrgyz horse, you wouldn't have seen Kyrgyzstan!" said my friends. For that matter, I went to the Hippodrome with my friends to fulfill this tradition. The winter month was harder there than in Turkey.
We arrived at the Hippodrome by a taxi, but we had to walk to another gate because we got out of the car in front of the wrong one. Our hands and feet were frozen, but we finally managed to hunt up the right gate. We learned that the main gate was closed because it was Sunday. We were so cold and our phones weren't working because of the cold. Suddenly, we remembered that we saw a hole in one side of the wall as we were coming to that side, and decided to enter through the hole (gatecrash) :D .
