In Kazakhstan, once you're someone's guest, it's really hard to get away - everyone wants you to stay. They believe that if you invite a guest, luck will fly into your house.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In Khazak culture, historically, if any traveller comes riding from a long way, there is an obligation to take him into your home. For the first three days, the host doesn't even have the right to ask his name, his destination or his business.
When someone stays with you and they're not your guest, even when they are your guest they get on your nerves. When people visit for long periods of time, that just happens.
When you're guest-starring, it's very nice, but you're there very briefly, and it's right there in the name: You're a guest. It's very hard to get a real sense of belonging. With recurring and regular roles, at least you have a sense that this is a home and a steady place.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
I move around, like a true Kazakh nomad.
If you're in the White House, it's your house, and you can invite whatever friend you want.
The guest gets at least as much service with us as with some established airline, if not even more. And at by far a favourable price. Thus the passengers remain gladly with us.
It's a very intimate thing to invite someone into your home; there's a lot of trust involved.
To be an ideal guest, stay at home.
No guest is so welcome in a friend's house that he will not become a nuisance after three days.
