I visited a Mosque today with Cameron’s class. It is right across the street from where we live and we hear the call to prayer five times a day. To enter the mosque, everyone must remove their shoes, women must have their hair covered with a scarf, and women also pray in a separate room away from the men. The carpet has a rectangular design so everyone has their own space to pray.
Muslim is the religion here except most people do not abide by the rules of the religion. Fridays are also a big day to go to the Mosque. It is nice to learn the Kazak culture and also have Cameron teach me what he learns in his class. I hope you enjoy the pictures and a few of the sites from Atyrau, Kazakhstan.
