Living in a Yaranga with the Chukchi's by jorgesanchez

Yanrakinot - Russia, Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug Life is not easy in Chukotka. They all sleep in tents called Yaranga (a sort of Yurt) and eat everyday the same: reindeer, whale and walrus meat, with tea (chai) and some local alcoholic drink that they call brashka (Russians in Israel are called Brashka). They do not have cauliflowers, no salad, no bananas from Canary Islands, no oranges from the Spanish town Valencia, no Venezuelan beers Polar…! But they have survived thousands and thousands of years with that diet. In fact, they do aspire to anything else.
