I was born on a Silk Road.
Silk Road, or aka Silk Route, is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean Sea which made a great contribution to the political, economic and cultural exchange between China, Central Asia, West Asia, India, Roman and Europe. It was named Silk Road because silk was the major trade product which traveled on this road.
Telling a bit more, the northern route travelled north of the Tian Shan mountains (also known as Khan Tengri in Kazakhstan) going through Turpan, Talgar (where by the way one of my training rinks is located) and my hometown Almaty. I was born and lived my whole life on a street called Zhibek Zholy which literally translates into English as "Silk Way".
And by opening this fun-fact of my biography, I*ve just revealed the theme and music of my long program for the upcoming season. Ingenious soundtrack performed by the legendary Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, with musicians from all over the world including Kazakhstan and Korea. Multiethnic and "multidirectional" program will turn me into a nomad going through a lifetime adventure, discovering new world and acquiring hands-on experience.
My choreographer says that the program*s character is actually me.. She thinks we have a lot in common, particularly our life stories.
Well... And I feel the same way too.
