This is a good friend of mine, Kasar. As you can obviously see Kasar is not your typical Chinese. He is a minority known as Uigher that is of Turkish descent. People often mistake him for a foreigner. He comes from Chinese northwest province known as Xinjiang. Do some research if you are curious. Maybe later on I'll blog about everything I know about Uighers.
I enjoy hanging out with him, and the activities are always fun. He is actually a fantastic basketball player to. THE BEST I have ever played with or against in China hands down. He whoops me every time.
I would love to visit him in Urumqi. Maybe next summer if I could somehow find a way. Urumqi is actually very developed while the culture and traditions are still very rich. I look forward to visiting someday.
