I was just at the rusty ships today and I ate at the same place for lunch! I’ll be continuing my solo trip to Khiva tomorrow. My experience in Uzbekistan is totally different though because I don’t get special vlogger access to certain places and I don’t have a guide😐 But I’m still loving it, although it’s a bit difficult with language barrier sometimes.

Thanks for the opportunity to visit such an interesting, less obvious place! It's so much fun to live vicariously through your travel videos, I love how they're not just "Here's what we did on vacation" videos, it's not about promoting some resort in the Maldives and stuff like that, which there is an abundance of already! We get to learn about these places, the nature and the culture, it's really great teaching about world history and human diversity! You're making the world feel smaller at a time where we most need people to realize that humanity is a community, and that we all need to take care of our collective home, the pale blue dot! Cheers from Canada! xxx

It's extremely sad. In 1985 I went on a school trip with my classmates from the American school in then-West Berlin across the USSR. My two favorite locations we went to on our 15 day cross country odyssey were in your previous videos on Bukhara and Samarkand. It was great to see those places with you guys again. I fell in love as a Senior in High School with Central Asia (and it was early Feb with snow on the ground and very cold!). Anyway, flying back from Tashkent, which we went to for the flight to Kiev, we flew over the Aral Sea. I was excited to see one of the world's great bodies of water, looking much the same as the 1989 satellite photo you showed. I'm glad I had that opportunity when I did, because it will never happen again. Thanks, guys!

Hi from Kazakhstan! You should come visit. Yes, what happened to Aral Sea is terrible. When I was in school, I used to look at the map, and Aral Sea was big, yet smaller than before. At the time, that was strange. Then it got smaller and smaller. Now it's just painful to look at. It lies between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and people here talk about ways to improve the situation, but it seems that it's too late. I hope not

I know cause I live here. Kyrgyzstan has Ysyk Kol (literally 'hot lake'). Never been there myself, but those who were say that it's awesome. There's another country called Turkmenistan but you can't get in there cause it's a North Korea type of country.
