So I am trying to research regions, and I am more confused than when I started. Here is my question: What is the real name of this region? I thought that it was Esik, but many people call it Ecik on the internet, but here I find that Ecik isn't even one of the 5 options. Dear heavens, really!
Yesik, Kazakhstan
Other names: Issyk,Esik,Issok,Issök
Ugh!!!! How does a girl research when she doesn't even know the name of the place? If I get lost overseas, please be sure to write down all of these names just in case, a backup name is always good to have. :) Anyhow, here is some basic information on this 'Esik' region:
Esik is a small and very cold lake in the mountains around Almaty. People in the area still remember the disaster of the 1960's, when a poorly-designed Soviet mine shaft caused a portion of a mountain to collapse into the lake. The flooding that happened as a result caused many deaths.
Today, Esik is a popular destination for vacations and camping.

Cousins (Izaak wants to name my daughter (his cousin) Isabella, Sant (for 'Santa') or Hershey (his friend's dog's name.) Hmmmm I told him that if we name her 'Hershey,' that would mean that we get to give her a lot of kisses.
