THE BEATLES IN CENTRAL ASIA

Astana, Kazakhstan.  In a small park in the capital city of Kazakhstan, you find this tribute in bronze to The Beatles.  It turns out the Fab Four are immensely popular here in Central Asia.  Young and old, they sing and dance to Beatle music.  The Beatles may be ancient history for American kids, but Beatlemania is very much alive for Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek kids in what us for us a remote world.  (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #313 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
