These are good memories of my childhood and every time I go to the mountains I can smell my childhood.  I can't forget all those celebrations in my mountain village so today im talking about end of Ramadan celebration Kurban Bayrami when all kids preparing their bags at the night so at the morning they having breakfast around 8/9 o'clock going out to start to collect candies around the village with your cousins or brother and sisters.  All doors of the houses open and as soon as you walking in you have to sing celebration in Lak language after they may have little talk with you about how is your grandmother doing, you walking around almost all village and trying to collect more candies as it’s possible because at the end of the day you will compete with your brother and cousins who collected more also you would have to share with older cousins and brothers because after you turn 14/15 yo  you can't collect candies because you already count as grown up child.  Now when  I  live in America i miss the good traditions of Dagestan.
