Roger Deakin et al. in Almaty, Kazakhstan - at the end of the 1990's, in the morning
from Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees, pages 289–290:
Outside in the wide expanse of the Republiky Alangy, a wedding party is assembled on the steps of the Monument to Independence in bright sunshine. A little folk-band with an accordion, a two-stringed dombra and a drum like an Irish bodrun plays Kazakh tunes. Some of the wedding guests dance together, while others pose for photographs, all dressed to the nines in suits and ties or bright dresses.
