Kyrgyzstan, a country with amazing nature 😍
Witch part do you like the most?
😍
Hug back!
Zo leuk 😘
Omg and so beautiful!
Thank you so much for visiting Kyrgyzstan. That's beautiful place❤❤🎉
Well, i'm sure i want to visit it again! What a amazing country!
Dont sing at me trash
Talking about bubble, ever thought about how diferent the real China is from the China in your mind before you visited ? Maybe you have also been in a bubble that preset your opinions?
@@crazy791326 wow! Thanks for making me thinking! Yes, and during my journey i learn and see how the media back home did impact me. Beside tbe fact that it did feel as a bubble i'm sure i will go back. The traditions, culture, people, nature amazing!! And the food, fresh. With making this worldtrip my bubble gets bigger and bigger. What about your bubble?
As a foreigner traveling with a very uncommon way in the most sensitive region of a country, you cannot assume you have all the freedom to do things as natives or as you wish. In case you encounter anything unexpected, that could lead to serious diplomatic incident. Probably in those country with very loose governance, nobody cares what you are about, but appraently China is not like them. Order, organization, safety, cleanliness, convinience and even beautiful scenery doesn't come from nowhere, it's the outcome of so many people's daily contribution under elaborate governance. Actually what you did have laid extra burden to many locals and offcials, I feel they shoud complain more than you. lol
@@crazy791326 witch is the reason i do travel, to learn and understand what is going on. And sometimes i am suprised by the fact how thing are going and so different in a world. The path of learning i reflect on and see the change.
I’ll never forget how beautiful Kyrgyzstan women were.
Did you told them?
such a weird video. looks like a Martian dropped down onto the Moon ))) this is what destroys such places once and forever--and there are fewer and fewer of them on the Earth, Kyrgyzstan included (
Well speaking about moon landscapes, did you ever tought about going to Tajikistan?
What is this destroying? Earth is supposed to be explored.
what destroys such places. is Russia.
@@thecount1001 i saw how Kyrgyzstan is growing. Locals told me how the impact of VS, China and Russia is in the country and that if Kyrgyzstan want to develop more they need money...
Wow
@@Harisudhan-jf2du hahaha yes it is so beautiful there! The nature in combination with the nomadic style of living, interest me for sure. For on the bucketlist?
This is so inspirational, thank you for this video Menno ^.^
@@SamTheoAwesome That means a lot Sam! Like the fact that you not only think it but also share it with me, amazing! Kyrgyzstan is for sure beautiful in many different ways.
What a breathtaking country man! Beautiful film!
Oh it is so beautiful!!
Great 🔥
Thanks! Did you ever got the change or idea to visit Kyrgyzstan?
15-20 years ago in this region there were 15-20 terroristic acts every year. So security reasons are serious to secure people's life
And during the hitchhiking was happy to hear that people truly feel that it is more safe. A lot of local people called China the most safe country on the world. Sidenote, that they did not travel to a other country.
@@rosmenno they can compare past and present
the security measurement is very tie in xinjiang province, even for chinese citizens, i was questioned by policemen when i was wondering around on street; enjoy your holiday, bro!
Any idea why they do that? I did notice that the more i went to the west the harder it did get to travel free. The impact of the controle was huge and many times very frustrating. Enjoy your day, and thanks for sharing your toughts!
@@rosmennothere were instances of bombings and mass stabbings in the past. They border countries with known terror activities as well. Recently there were several instances of Chinese engineers working on water projects killed in ambushes in Pakistan, so they are very careful to try to keep these people out of the country. Also CIA armed groups are always try to vie for power to grab their own territories. It’s part of the US agenda to use proxies to cause civil unrest and wars in countries that border China so as to break up the country because they see them as a threat to their economic hegemony. This includes making their NATO partners close well paying factories in Xinjiang and not buy cotton from the Uyghur farmers because of fake slave labor, which was proven false as cotton picking is done with big machines. They also said that they would not buy from companies that hired Uyghurs, so they forced them to let go of these employees. Their motive is to cause economic hardships to the Uyghur population so they would rebel and cause more civil unrest and deaths like they have done to the most of the Middle East, Africa, south and Central America. Why did they specifically target Uyghurs and not the other ethnicities in this region, because in the past there was an open border and some Uyghurs joined extremist groups that made them carry out bombings and murders. One of which was the murder of an imam whom they did not agree with. They take extra precautions to keep this from happening again. As you know the US and NATO are trying their best to surround China and Russia with military bases and missiles. They already have missiles right next door in Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia these naval bases forced China to try to import good from the Western border as they can and will be blockaded by the West for almost any excuse. That’s why they are trying to use Taiwan as excuse to invade and break apart China. Most of the population and all the big companies on the East coast and in range of all of the US bases. They tried to break China’s economy by withdrawing international funding and smearing them with terrible repetitive propaganda to the point where the world was killing and assaulting their own Chinese looking citizens or residents. I am American of Chinese parentage and I noticed patterns of anti China propaganda in Western media and questioning the logic of what they are saying versus what is actually happening. Sorry for the long passage but maybe you don’t understand much about danger being from Europe but I think you might want to know how precarious China’s security really is. When you are targeted by the West, you can’t relax otherwise you will be colonized and broken into pieces like in the past. This time instead of directly attacking they will use neighboring countries that they armed to do so. That way they can assure that a defeated population can’t compete with them fairly.
My friend, I think some things will help you in your travel in China. First, there is no hitchhiking in China. In China, drivers are responsible for the health of hitchhikers. Chinese people travel by bus. Second, you see a lot of people who you think are police, but they are not. Security guards in companies, supermarkets, and residential areas. Staff at bus stations, train stations, and trains. Some highway employees. Their clothes look like police to foreigners, but in fact, the Chinese characters and signs say "security", "railway", and "highway company name". Good luck.
Thanks for sharing that! With your help i learn a bit more. Maby you saw in my video's that hitchhiking is working easy in China. And it gives me a warm feeling how local people are pround of there traditions and willing to share it with me. Thats the reason i travel and see how people connect (or not). You know i think, the traditions in China are so rich!
China should ban these western hitchhiking people from entering China. They don't contribute to tourism or anything to local people. The police have to spend a lot of time to help them. And they are very picky and seems like Chinese people owe them if they are not treat well enough. Totally wasting of Chinese people's money.
Most policy are unarmed, their job is more of service than law enforcement.
Witch i found out the hard way tho... hahahaha. Back home thats very different, did you ever got the change to get a new perspective on that?
Hey Buddy lots of love and full support , #GoLive
@@fahadchaugule8261 yeaaashss! Thanks a lot! Hug!
Xinjiang has large areas of desert and no man's land, the police or staff care about you because they don't want you to die here, they keep you as safe as possible and provide you with supplies
Interesting video. The police seemed nice from what you said. How long have you been learning mandarin?
They are, and i did not now before that the role of the police is to offer service and help instead of giving a fine. I saw them everywere and during my journey in China they helped me a lot. Sometimes not, most cases they did. I did not learn mandarin, locals told me some words and i use to remember those for having 'basic contact'. Now try to learn French, any tips for learning a new language?
@rosmenno I highly recommend Paul Noble's courses. You can find them in the usual places you'd download stuff. His Mandarin course is amazing. I'm sure he has a French course.
I was walking and hitchhiking a lot the last days, i will check it. Thanks for your tip!! @FrankCastleTIG @@FrankCastleTIG
Wow, brave man. Much respect. Keep up the nice content
Thanks thanks thanks! Like the fact you did take the time to give yourself a new perspective, did you ever visit China?
@ Yes of course, I love to watch travel videos because I like to travel myself. Haven‘t been to China though unfortunately, but will go for sure in the future
@@jaydensuter2577 cool!! Feel free to share your tips!
wow, some incredibly challenging hikes!
I was happy to meet the two guys so we could help each other. I'm searching for great hikes in Africa, any tips maby? Enjoy your day!
They call you lucky not nuts
They call you a human, thanks for watching! If you have any tips feel free to share. :)
What is “Chinees Police”?are you nuts?
Hahaha no i'm Menno a human who makes sometimes a mistake and learn a lot everyday again while i hitchhike and get in touch with locals. Enjoy your day!
Gaaf men! Zo nu en dan zie ik iets voorbij komen.. nu toch maar een aantal van je video’s bekeken! Heel veel succes nog en ziet er onwijs tof uit man! Gr Timo
Helloooo hello! Tof, ik voel een film avond aankomen!
Haha is goed👍
❤❤
Hug back!
They have not only military camps, but also concentration camps in Xinjiang!
@@Frivillig i did hear and read a lot about that. I'm not sure were and i tought about that for the place were i was not welcome....
You are brainwashed all your life. All cities in Xinjiang are much better and prosperous than those in your country, and people in Xinjiang, with some 20 ethnics, live way better and much happier than you and people like you. You are living in your own concentration camp but without knowing it. Evil heart won't receive good results.
Please don't dance.
Seems like you are a expert in dancing?
be careful, they were properly not another visitor, you were sleeping on private property.
@@kuntanchina thanks for saying that! I asked before the police if i could sleep there, since i did not wanted to be waked up by the police haha. I can understand the man, a tent on the place were his cows normaly are is weird... Luckely i feel safe in China also during camping.
Keep at it friend and always remember to research before entering unknown places especially somewhere like China. Great job and keep your head up
@@druyoutoo head up, smile and the way locals want to share there knowledge is amazing! Normaly i ask them a lot but since i am not from China people did not know about the rule that i was not welcome...
Very cool to see the scenery on the other side of the Tien Shan range ! 🏔️ Very different conditions also 👀
@@timthorne3384 the border impact is huge. The differance between those two country's you see... huge!
The southern half of Xinjiang under the Taklimakan desert are dominated by minority Uyghur folks, with focus on the cities of Aksu, Kashgar and Hotan.
@@thisiskevin1000 i'm happy to learn more about the Uyghur folks!
@ While over there in the northern half (Dzungarian basin) is a more multi-ethnic potpourri of peoples - from Mongolians , Han majority, Hui and other Turkic groups (other than Uyghurs) to Russians. Back to southern Xinjiang, Kashgar is also home to the Tajik minority, specifically Taskhurgan town which borders Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan.
@thisiskevin1000 i did noticed the different entic groups with watching there cloths, thanks for sharing!
@@rosmenno and spoken languages when at home.
That is insane, right!? While i was on the market watching and understanding i did hear many different languages...
😂😂
what time of year was your hike? great video
From time to time, you need to pay some. Please don't always take a free hitchhiking!😜
For sure! Always during my hitchhiking i ask people if i can do something for them, pay for the fuel or pay for a meal. I see during my journey that people are pround and get a great feeling with helping me. They share there perspectives and are mostly so pround of there traditions. Many cases i get way more than just a hitchhike, witch brings beautiful connections! Did you ever try it?
The inconveniences of foreign traveler encounter in China is partly cause by the relentless espionage from western powers. Quote: "Nothing is wrong about Xinjiang, but to attack their human rights is an effective means to make Xinjiang break away from international industrial chains, and to make Uyghurs fight against the Chinese government." Sheila Carey and Andrew, US Diplomats in Guangzhou at a reception in 2021. The above words by US Diplomats speak volumes of how the US is the greatest threat to peace harmony, well being and common prosperity on Earth. Evidence abounds. The US is fixated on perpetuating its hegemony. It's relentlessly playing the old con game of colonial strategy of "Divide and Rule" which it has "inherited" from its ex- colonial master, the British Empire (Please Read Book by US author Caroline Elkins : "Legacy of Violence : A History of the British Empire. ").
Thanks for sharing this! I'm sure that when you travel with bus and train the journey will be different and might be more easy. Still the control is huge, i found. Great advise i copied it and put it in my 'i want to read list' :). Enjoy your day!
Assalamualaikum brother. It's Adil from Lahore
Hey Adil!! Lahore video is coming later tho, hope you are doing good. Enjoy!
@rosmenno hey bro and which part of the world you are in.
