      Эли. Добрый день!
      Очень понравился Ваш фильм. Самому захотелось побывать в Самарканде. И как здорово, что Вы смогли посетить те места, где служил Ваш папа. И какие трогательные до слез фото в конце фильма. Жду Ваших новых работ и просто приятно слушать понятно английскую речь русского человека, делающего такие шикарные и простые видео.
      СПАСИБО.

      Great video, as always since you were born with a natural talent and instinct to do this work. You make Uzbekistan and everywhere else look like wonderful destinations. Family pictures are always interesting to see resemblances and differences among family members, and how they change over time. My daughter-in-law is part Puerto Rican and looks like an "average" American. Her older sister looks very Hispanic with very dark skin and totally jet black hair. Her younger brother looks like an Irish leprechaun with pale white skin and bright red hair.

    Hi Eli, this is my first time commenting on your channel, I'm from the USA. As I finished watching, first sorry for the loss of your Dad. By coincidence, today would have been my father's 80th birthday, so it hit me double. I'm only 5 years younger than your Dad and it truly reflects how delicate and fleeting life is. Be safe and enjoy your adventures, live long and happy!

      The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom.
      That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)

      @@MarianLuca-rz5kk No. His name was Rudaki. We call him the father of Persian poets (poems). There is a famous story which a king went to a good weather place and forgot about the capital and the people. Around 8th century, someone ask Rudaki to create poems so the king would feel homesick and comes back to his Palace. I believe that is the most famous set of poems that have survived from him which is about the page.

    Yet again a wonderful video and a hommage at Eli's dad. He must have been so proud of his most amazing daughter, the most impressive woman in the world. Thank you Eli for letting us be a part of your newest adventure.

    After so many videos, it's kinda funny to see how casual Eli became about things like ice diving and hiking to mountain tops. Great work as usual!

    One Of my favorite country is Uzbekistan. Uzbeks Hospitality is something Special.
    I got a chance to eat pilaf in Samarqand , Bukhara and Tashkent. I must say that samarqand pilaf is clear winner for me.
    As Usual your videos are wonderful to watch. This video with understandable emotion.
    May your dad Rest in Peace.

    One of your most beautiful videos and that´s saying a lot! And a very personal one, too. I have been to Usbekistan some years ago in an organized tour. But what you are showing is even more beautiful than I remember. Thank you for the warmth with which you communicate with people. God bless you!

    Ty for sharing. Lovely video and tribute to your dad. I think the closest I came to Samarkand is when I visited Kashgar in 1987. Love the ending: We are here only for a short while, and there is no time for useless actions.
