  • I like your video... hope you are well.

  • some speak both, some speak Uyghur only. depands on what kind of education they had.

  • Wow!

  • I miss my hometown! i used to slide down the icy driveway too!

  • Urumqi winters: the sky turns black during the day as dust falls from the clouds. But I still miss it. Anyone here went to number 1 middle school?

  • Most Uyghers can speak mandarin and their own language, which is based on the arabian alphabet and has parts of the Turkish language.

  • I know this might be a stupid question :P but do they speak mandarin? Or are they're language closer to the Turks?

  • Urumuqi's winter is dreadful, unless you

    are a kid, like these kids, skidding on

    their butts and enjoying the collision :-)

    Good video !

  • Thanks for the reply. I should have recognized this area then. I used to around Er Yi Yuan, near Wu Xiao. I guess so much have changed since I have left.

    On the interesting thought though, how did you end up living in Urumuqi. Not many Americans know where the city even is.
