------------
KAZAKHS ARE VERY HOSPITABLE. WHEN ADDRESSING A GUEST OR ELDER,
A KAZAKH MAY ADDRESS HIM/HER WITH A SHORTENED FORM OF GUEST'S
OR ELDER'S NAME AND THE SUFFIX 'KE'. FOR EXAMPLE, ABKHAN MAY BE
CALLED ABEKE, NURSULTAN CAN BE CALLED NUREKE. THIS IS REGARDED
AS INDICATING A HIGH LEVEL OF RESPECT FOR THE VISITOR & ELDER.
NATIONAL CUSTOMS FORBID YOUNG PEOPLE WHOSE PARENTS ARE STILL
ALIVE FROM CUTTING THE SHEEP'S HEAD. INSIDE MOSQUES WOMEN
OBSERVE THEIR OWN RITUAL IN A SEPARATE ROOM. FORMAL DRESS IS
OFTEN REQUIRED WHEN VISITING THE THEATRE OR ATTENDING THE
DINNER PARTY.
BUSINESS HINTS
--------------
BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED IN A FORMAL MANNER & SMART SUIT WITH
TIE SHOULD BE WORN FOR THE MEETINGS. BUSINESS CARDS WILL BE
EXCHANGED. IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS IN ADVANCE.
