In the land of Tajikistan, some of the best men will join a sport called “Buzkashi.” The Tajik people usually organize such sport during the month of November to April in the mountains. I am lucky to view such a sports event in the country.
“Buzkashi” is like a men’s polo sport. The only difference is that they use a dead sheep or calf into the goal. If you are in such event, it was like watching a movie scene where there is a riot in defending their territories.
Let me share it with you the unforgettable experience.
“Have you seen this kind of sport?”

I don't know because it's the first time I've seen. I would probably feel akward since they use sheep or calf skin.

Oh, I have never seen that kind of sport. Actually I was surprised that it was you who posted this. I was paying more attention on the title but not on the person who posted. So, I thought that this post was written by an Indian or any nationalities but not a Filipino.

Never heard of this sport. Interesting but why do they use the sheep or calf skin, there should be some story or belief behind it, I am always interested to know such stories..
