[PER] выставка верблюдов в дубае

[congeries]

как-то отрабатывая ник (хотя как мы уже выясняли, дромадеры в средней азии не водятся). это фотографии с выставки верблюдов в дубае (там, на сайте, есть небольше кино про эту выставку, дурацкое). то, что с верблюдами - интересно, хотя по масштабу ни в какие подметки не годится медвежьему проекту miumau в берлине.

ну, ясно дело :) а почему бы вам не предложить арабам свои идеи? им сейчас очень нужны всякие интересные pr акции, как "на местах", так и "на выезде".

I didn't read the post (naturally...kind of gave up on the translator :P) Do you sell these camels there? With your user pic I never really thought about it...are they a part of your culture?

"there" you mean where? in holland?

well, as for holland, the answer is "no, not really"... :)

although there is a very peculiar tratidion in the city i am not living in - they run an annual camel race, sometime in july. never actually went too, only saw the posters. never had a chance to check what's bedind it.

me personally, i like camel, i collect camel figurines - well, used to, almost gave up by now, no time/money for that, but still have around 400 pieces.

in central asia camels are still grown, and used - often as transport, but also for dairy, meat and wool (peraps, skin?)

but this is mostly in mongolia, in other countires the camel were rarely used even in rural areas... i guess, now the real use is on decline, but i might be wrong, i haven't been there for many years...

i've seen much more camels in egypt, than, say, in almaty or bishkek. and also, camles in central asia are bactrians (two humps) and in the arab world they are dromaders (one hump).

i'v been to dubai once, so this post have a nostalgic component too.

I didn't think they really had them in Holland but I am surprised at the locations you've mentioned... always think of Egypt of course :) and never knew they were used for dairy and meat... not sure what to think about that :)

You definitley will have to check out that camel race next year and get some cool pics.... that actually sounds not only like fun but literally funny! :D

400 is a lot of camels! Are they in a group that you could take pictures? Are they supposed to have some luck to them like elephants (with the trunks up) or something? :)

В Крыму водились. Туда приехал какой-то не то цирк, не то зоопарк, пришла перестройка, верблюдов... выгнали просто. В Севастополе.

странно, в цирках ( в "наших цирках") обычно тоже бактрианы выступали... но всё равно жалко тех животин.
