I really love this video in Uzbekistan! It is a country I know very little about, and have hardly seen any pictures of it. Uzbekistan used to be a really closed country. This is really quite a treat, thank you!!
Uzbekistan is very beautiful country I visited 2 years ago Tashkent Samarkand and Termiz i ❤️ Uzbek people they are very hospitality and friendly people. The food is amazing. Uzbekistan is not dangerous country It is very safe place to visit.
@@awezrazakhan5824 Hi there, I don't have full information about MBBS. However, I can safely say that This university has its own reputation of being one of the best universities in central Asia and even in Asia. I recommend it to people who are hardworking and respect our culture and traditions. Thanks.
I came to Tashkent on the 8th for a week. When I saw the picture in Airport that no drone are allowed so I ask the security offer that is it for all size of drone? Instead of answer my question they open my luggages front of all other people to check if I have drone or not which is very bad. If I have any drone they could check from x-ray machine which they did before opening. I had worse experience on my arrival. Some people are very strange and weird and give some strange look, I didn’t felt welcoming to be honest. Plus quite expensive country. Keep change the price which is very strange, before you buy something one price, after you decide to buy they change and increase the price….😢😢
Thanks for taking us to Uzbekistan, Dari! The kindness of the local people really made a big impression on you and Slava. It’s unfortunate that the harassment of young single women is such a consistent theme in your travels. Keep up the great work with your travelogues!
I was thrilled to see your attendance at the Tashkent Breakfast Club (TBC). I watch Konstantin's "Inside Russia" podcast channel everyday. He often mentions the TBC and its eclectic international membership. Because of your episode on Tashkent, I can now picture this cultural gem more accurately. Thank you! PS: In my collection of Asian carpets, my most favorite is one from Uzbekistan which I purchased around 1990 from a Turkish rug merchant in Izmir. I was lucky to briefly meet the Uzbek man who had smuggled the carpet into Turkey. He was striking in appearance, very tall, perhaps 6'5" and slender and fit. He seemed to my eye to be late middle aged, probably in his fifties. His face was unforgettable, very handsomely eastern Asiatic, with eyes squinted almost to slits from staring for too many years into a harsh, sand and windblown, high desert environment. I wished that I could have photographed his face which he probably would not have appreciated, since I believe he might very well have been in Turkey without travel documents and illegally peddling smuggled goods from Uzbekistan! Even without a photo, I will have no trouble remembering his picturesque face for the rest of my days. He was the living embodiment of thousands of years of Asian history.
Wonderful video Dari! I really enjoyed the longer format. You're very lucky to see so much of the world at such a young age. And we are lucky that you're so good at sharing it with us. Thanks!
I loved the girl who sat there speaking perfect English and said, "I only speak Russian"! Made me stop and think. You make a nice video and do great interviews. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Excellent review of Tashkent. You portrayed such hospitable people and interviewed knowledgeable and informative folks. It was such a pleasure to watch your guests.
Uzbekistan looks really nifty. With those giant sidewalks, I assume they're hoping for a large influx of tourists over time? Good candidate for bicycles and scooters, especially compared to the lame sidewalks we have here in the US (if we have any at all). Really nice that they're generally so outgoing and helpful. Looking forward to the next video! Thanks Dasha. 👍
Thanks for this video Dari. You put so much information into it and also a lot of things I did not know about. It was very interesting to watch. Looking forward to the next videos from Uzbekistan.
Well dang it, I was trying to write something and lost it. Anyway, another informative and fantastic vlog, Dari! It was great to meet Veronica and hear some of her background and insights. 🙂👍
Дарья, спасибо что посетила такой классный город - там живут безумно добрые и милые люди!! Вообще, все восточные люди очень отзывчивые - например моя мама сделала себе пластическую операцию (она риэлтор, и в этой профессии очень важно выглядеть молодо), и иногда помогает девушке из Узбекистана (к сожалению не помню, но точно она мусульманка), и вот эта девушка сказала что хочет поддержать маму после операции вкусной едой!! Ну мы подумали, будет какая-нибудь местная кухня (пару блюд), но когда я спустился вниз забрать, то там было 3 или 4 пакета из супермаркета - и овощи и фрукты, тортик, нарезочка - мы были просто в шоке от того сколько она на это потратила!! Скажу одно - с ними вы точно не пропадёте!!🤩😍🥰😇
Wow, really good video today 👏👏👏 You covered so many interesting subjects and definitely given me a very good impression of the city and its people. Wonderful to see you guys working brilliantly together and hanging out in small cosy niches. Moments to remember and cherish 😇 Taxi without seatbelts... yeah, why not😂 The interviews with Daniel and Veronica were super great and I just love when you get to have locals joining in sharing their experiences, views and advice for visitors 👀❤ The part about unwanted attention. It happens everywhere, but it is my impression that in my country it depends on the situation. So if both the girl and boy looks at each other then sometimes it becomes the casual/coincidental first meeting. In other cases it is taken as a compliment by the women that she seems attractive to others. And of course just like you the women also feel like creeps are staring and feel unsafe. So is it your opinion that attention towards your person, wanted or unwanted, is influenced by the specific Country, General safety level, Culture etc. vs. when you are home in an area you normally feel safe in and know how people are. Since the City seems rapidly undergoing transformation and is developing all these areas inspired from the foreign countries. It sounds to me like they are trying two things; firstly it seems to me that they are trying to give the population a glimpse of the outside world because many people can't afford traveling??? secondly they may be trying out different styles/concepts to get more investors/work to the Country??? I mean a Pepsi Disneyland in Denmark... WE WOULD LOVE IT PEPSI MAX 😂😂😂 I guess it's the mountain stories next time 🤭🥶 Cheers
Super vlog, Dasha! Great to see Kostya's club through your eyes ☕ LOVED the interview with the New Yorker (though it felt like he had another accent...) 🇺🇸 And Veronika's story is amazing!! A little sad that the theme of how inadequately women are treated (now - in Uzbekistan) continues... But the cultural excursion was very cool 🇺🇿
The New Yorker had the New Yorker point of view 😉 I am an American, born and raised in the USA but I am not a New Yorker, so I have a difference in views.
Awesome video! Super interesting and I like how you included other You-Tubers. I'm not surprised that you get lots of stares from locals. After all, you are very beautiful!! 😘
Thank you for the video, but I can't believe you didn't say anything about plov, when you are back to Tashkent please try different plovs in Kamolon Restaurant
Good to again bring in a local person along and let them say what they think. Having been to many Central Asian locations, I'll predict the dust will never go away in Tashkent 😉The dry air and the dust is just what's normal there. And it never gets as hot and humid as in Dubai 😘 It's important to know that people from Western Europe don't need a visa for Uzbekistan if they stay less than 30 days. This regulation makes a visit there much easier, and only a few want to stay longer than 30 days. Regarding Timur, it's interesting to watch "Curse of 14th Century Warlord Timur, which haunted Russia and Stalin During WW2" on RU-vid. True or not, it's another good story from Central Asia.
I hope for more videos. And by the way, my aunt (my mother's sister), who worked in a travel agency during, as we say, communist Poland and we were in the so-called Eastern Bloc, once told me about a trip to the then Uzbeckiej SSR. They went with Intourist(otherwise you couldn't travel around the then USSR) in the early 1970s. In the afternoon in Samarkand, she went out with a friend from the hotel for an independent trip. Of course, they were in accordance with the then world fashion (by the way, not in force in the USSR at that time, maybe except for Moscow and then Leningrad / St. Petersburg) in mini skirts. So, from what she said, it was a very interesting, if slightly disturbing, experience.
Interesting video Dari, i like trying local dishes as well but eating horsemeat would be a big no for me the foal in my thumbnail ran off when it saw that menu 😲, the dolphin sculptures making a type of 3D affect look really good and well done for highlighting that amazing old door you cannot buy them at the local DIY depot ....
Very cool video! This isn't just a foreign country but also a former Soviet Socialiat Republic....it must feel relatable to you in some way as a Russian.
Very enjoyable video, Dari! Your friend's English was quite excellent. I'm afraid I am not "gastronomically adventurous" and can't imagine eating horse meat. Sorry for the misbehavior of men...
Nice work I never kno about this one and need look up its location it's cool to get the USA perspective and ya we have way to many cars most family's have at least three to a household and that's so funny Pepsi land thanks for sharing you adventure look forward to next one
Am almost going to Uz soon, me from a South East Asian country....question. Does Uz accepts debit cards, HSBC bank cards, should I bring USD cash? I think I wld just buy the tix, and just Go. Tash, Samarkhan and Bukhara....khiva? Maybe. Is 14 days enough?
The US is moving away from being car-centric? News to me. Lol @ Pepsi Disneyland. The style of your video reminds me of Rick Steves travel videos, a travel show on public television. It's funny your friend said several times, 'I only speak Russian' in English
Dari, You should do a video on different ways cultures see sexuality and sexualization, for example, in America we think Greeks and Russians accept more things as normal than us…. I would love to know the mindset. In a very educational sense, nothing creepy
I don’t know about my friends but personally I’d firstly like to visit USA, Canada and Australia, and then decide 😊 for now - maybe London, Vienna or maybe Madrid
5:44 As Uzbek myself, I would say it js bcuz Uzbekistan hasn't received many tourists so people are curious about how Westerners or similar to them look like in real life. I don't think there is anither explanation for that except those who stare aren't "weirdos" lol.
The Central Asian stans wanted to keep the economic and cultural links of the Soviet space intact and the breakup in 1991 was decided without them. Rebuilding them a generation later is a long term process and in the meantime countries like Uzbekistan have to make a virtue out of necessity. Taskent shows what’s come of it. Looking forward to future videos on other places in Uzbekistan. Pepsi Disneyland is for sure the city’s unique attraction.
