bald and bankrupt

Күн бұрын

🇷🇺 In the 1960s American spy satellites photographed a huge leviathan craft docked in the Caspian Sea. The CIA dubbed it the Caspian monster. It was however a top secret Ekranoplan that was built for war. It remained in a naval dockyard under lock and key after the USSR collapsed until recently when it broke free and washed ups on a beach a few hours to the south near the Russian city of Derbent. I flew to Rostov and set off across the varied landscapes and cultures of Southern Russia in search of the infamous Caspian monster.
Kalmyk song on radio is called Eejin Duun by Okna Tsahan Zam and is on KZfaq if you search it.

He is one of the best. No nonsense music, no effects just real raw footage of real people. Most of the viewers will never travel to these remote villages and the way you interact with the locals gives us a chance to experience the real culture and lifestyle of people on the other side of the world. Kudos man never change the way you travel and come back to India soon. The ride in which you passed out is back in town.😂

Bravest? Really? I mean he barely eats street food. I like the channel too, but his channel isnt brave.. especially not when compared to other channels. He feels comfortable in Russia/Slavic countries, he doesnt like to do travel or history youtubes in other countries because they are not interesting to him. He has done travel yts in India and South America but hes a sensitive person and those countries have alot of really off-putting scammers and touts everywhere, as well as completely unsanitary food situations... Theirs a difference between eating at a dive restaurant and eating street food cooked up by basically homeless people. He prefers to eat at dive restaurants and sleep at dive hotels.. but not worse than that.

It is even tough for remote workers, as parabola based internet has more outages than a remote worker can afford and it is not economical to run fiber.

It's certainly one of the most interesting areas I have ever visited, having been there three times and would certainly go back. In Spring you will see dozens of eagles soaring across the sky here. There are a number of abandoned villages but this one Gamsutl is one of the best known and most accessible. Kakhib near Goor is one of the most spectacular, situated on a sheer rock face and with crumbling defensive towers like in Chechnya, Ingushetia and Svaneti (Georgia).

As amazing as it was, the Caspian Sea Monster was not even closer to the other places that Bald visited along the way. The Kalmykian Monasteries, the long desolate wilderness, the abandoned Dagestan village with a mountain-view balcony - Bald, once again you proved (and I know only you could do that) that the journey is more interesting than the destination.
