Sea Gypsies also known as Bajau Laut or Moken are semi-nomadic Austronesian people who live in the Maritime Southeast Asia. They usually live seaborne lifestyle, and use small wooden sailing vessels such as "perahu" or "leap-lepa". A peaceable people, today their maritime existence that recognises no national boundaries is endangered. Their semi-nomadic number have been diminished in recent years due to political and post-tsunami regulations. A few Sea Gypsies families however still sail across the turquoise water of the Southeast Asia Maritime in their "perahu" for 7 or 8 months of the year. For Sea Gypsies, the ocean is their entire universe!

These photos show Kyrgyz culture and Kyrgyz life both traditional as modern. Kyrgyzs were nomads some centuries ago. Now we live in cities and villages but we don't lose our nomadic roots. Young people are in studying with interest how our ancestors lived. So we have a lot of festivals, meetings, concerts and other events in this direction. Tradidtional theme is very close to me. It has color, saturation, real life.

I was fortunate to chance upon the Tamagni nair (Тамагны найр) festival of the nomads. It is a festival to brand new horses and pray for their health. The nomads working together to catch a horse and praying for its health while branding it made me realize that it was an ancient wisdom to live harmoniously with the beasts most deeply related to their lives Many intangible cultural heritage exist around us, we sometimes find them difficult to understand. Some have been pushed out by mainstream culture, losing importance and fading from people's minds. However, still many cultures are being transmitted around the world we need to make efforts to respect each other and understand each others' cultures.
