Uzbekistan is one of 54 countries that the Silk Road passed through and coincidentally it also passed through Georgia. Your video opened the door of awareness of an Asian country that was not much more than a name on a map so I’ll say that the most interesting parts of your video is the historical information. It’s unlikely that I’d travel to Uzbekistan at this time.
I really liked Samarkand with all the beautiful designs on all buildings. Very nice. I also enjoyed your whole video as it gave me a look at a country I would never visit and had no familiarity with.
As someone raised in a nordic country, it is very interesting and informative watching a video like this. Rarely get to see different cultures like this up close and it is great you can provide such content. Especially loved the architecture of many of the buildings. Keep them coming!
The country looks to be part dazzling and part dreary. I would never eat horse meat. Interesting place, but I have no wish to go there. Thanks for showing us around.
Thanks for sharing your travels with us. I enjoyed your video and I liked especially your personal experiences, for example with the guides you met. You're making the best of your situation, keep it up. I'd like to travel more in central Asia, so Uzbekistan is somewhere on my list. Best regards to Dasha, Slava and you.
Excellently written, filmed and researched, with very thoughtful commentary that ranges from the little daily-life details to Uzbekistan's historical context. This video is truly taking the channel to the next level. Congratulations!
Yeah, but can someone explain the reason for painting trees white at the bottom? This seems to be a common idea in eastern Europe that has made its way to central Asia
@@rogink Painting the bottom of tree to white is something that started in soviet union, and I think it is to repel harmfull to tree insects (although i am not sure whether it is needed or whether it works)
@@rogink Google is your friend. "White paint on trees offers protection from the sun, harsh weather, and pests." This practice is carried out all over the world.
I was lucky enough to spend a couple of weeks in Uzbekistan last month. Such a beautiful, interesting country full of diverse landscapes, jaw dropping architecture, history and warm, welcoming people. There's so much more to see and I can't wait to go back someday. Great video, most travel videos I've watched here on Uzbekistan are basically all the same but this was really interesting and well done. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Can you guys please please please go to Tajikistan because I have seen some really good video about Tajikistan recently and I am not sure if I should trust them or they are covertly promotional and if true I'd love to go visit Tajikistan myself as they seem very friendly and the country is beautiful specially the nature.
Hello from Uzbekistan Thank you so much for showing Uzbekistan to world❤❤❤ by the way I am from Uzbekistan and also I am proud of leving in Uzbekistan and visit more 👍

@@macaroon147 Its unknown to the rest of the world. Look at the Library, its 99% in Russian and 1% in Uzbek. Uzbek is even Unknown in a written language in its own country.
I already know many Americans would be horrified by that milk product she showed us. I just know there’s similar goods in Germany. At least when I was growing up there were.
Your videos truly keep getting better! There's not enough educational travel videos on the regions you cover, especially not from the perspective of someone from the outskirts of Russia. I love that you cover culture, cuisine, what you like.. some problematic encounters and that you're always honest and not holding back on what it's like to experience travel as a woman sometimes... I genuinely love your content and I've been following you since your early videos. Keep it up Natasha!🤘
This video shows a really professional evolution of your content while still maintaining your charismatic personality, and love your social commentary…very much enjoyed this one, Natasha. Keep showing us the world from your eyes!
Natasha, I really enjoy your film style. I cannot watch most travel vlogs as they are filled with selfies and the camera in the person's face the whole time with their fake overly-enthused personalities and focus on luxury and superficial things. You have a gift of capturing what is real, overlooked details, and giving a true feeling of where you are. I really love it. Very authentic way to vlog. I noticed this back when you were in Russia showing different places. God bless 🙏🏾
Natasha, most of us will not visit Samarkand & therefore I am grateful to briefly glimpse Uzbek history & culture through your eyes. Another small bridge between peoples.🤝
Hi Natasha, I am from Washington, DC, USA, and in August, I am going to live in Tashkent for five (5) years. I watch all of your videos and I really like seeing your experiences and hearing your opinions. Thank you for showing Tashkent and Uzbekistan. One thing for sure however, no horse meat for me. I hope you and Dari keep on traveling. Have fun and I will keep watching you. All the best wishes to you.
Natasha, you are the BEST guide possible. Your videos are so very interesting, and add a great deal to my old life. In the US coke and Pepsi are usually in 12 ounce containers (a cup and a half). Both are made with phosphoric acid which is terribly nasty, and should not be consumed by anyone. To make this attractive, coke adds 9 teaspoons of sugar; Pepsi adds 10. Thanks for this adventure !
Really loved this vlog - think it is one of you best. The filming and sound quality has definitely improved. Very interesting to see the various parts of this country. Thank you for taking us along. My favorite... Pepsi all the way :) :)
Natasha you are becoming quite a world traveler and it's such a joy to see you and your friends Alena and Dasha traveling around and putting up these videos. You all look so good too! 😘 Greetings from 🇺🇸 .
Hi Natasha and Dasha, thank you for sharing your trip. It was beautifully done, quite idiosyncratic, which gave it great charm. I knew I would love it when you went into the supermarket! Your bookshop adventure was also interesting. Really appreciated your attention to details. I'll watch it again and take some notes. Happy travels and stay safe
I love your travel vlogs like this! Your commentary with historical references, linguistics references, ethnic diversity, and honest opinions/feelings/thoughts on what you observe/taste in a foreign country are very interesting and informative. Your sense of humor and sarcasm compliment to the vlog very nicely as well lol I love going to grocery stores more than souvenir shops when I visit a foreign country to see what local people buy there and how the prices are different from where I live. Keep it up! - hello from a viewer in Japan 🇯🇵
Wonderful video. I like the way you make the videos and put everything in from broken down areas to fabulously beautiful ones. It makes me feel that I’m actually there. Keep them coming! HD
please more of these quick deep dives into the history of the languages! you explain it so well. love your videos. i would have never learned anything about the languages or history of the regions you've been to if i didn't watch your videos
Greeting from Los Angeles California. This was an amazing video .Thank you for sharing your adventures and giving us a look at a country most of us would have never seen.
Natasha you absolutely excel in covering the interesting tiny details of a location. I love seeing the details like the play ground, cooking in the stone oven, pulling the car with a rope. No one but you seems to notice such interesting little nuances in their videos. Please keep it up.
Thanks for the video 😊 I have been following you for a few years because I was born in khabarovsk. Now with what's happening, it's good you get to explore different places. Very interesting and well made video!!!
Natasha's video was well worth the wait for it's epic length. I had to break it into two viewings, but was impressed with Natasha's openness and humility. No better way to educate yourself than through travel. Would love to see a "long stay" format to get a deeper look into former Soviet republics. 👍
Dear Natasha , I just wanted to tell you that I think you're just about th sweetest and cutest girl that I ever saw ! Please be careful and always vigilant in your travels. I look forward to your next segment ! I really enjoy watching your videos. Alan
Excellent!! I learn so much watching your channel. My favorite part is always how you look at the whole picture, you give us a tour of playgrounds markets and social makeup of the local people all the way to how the different governments treat the people. Thank you! I learn about the actual people from you, very educational and absolutely love your humor.
Wonderful video Natasha! Loved the images as well as the information and perspectives you presented. You are very thoughtful about what you encounter in life which is a great attribute to have. Looking forward to your next upload! 😊
Natasha, you and your partner's vlogs are thoughtful and unpretentious. Clearly, you are in a very precarious position. I wish you only the best with the hope that someday you can acquire an 'international' passport that enables you to visit and maybe settle where your heart feels supported. And, thank you for this view of central Asia that, I'm sure, many of us would never have seen! Your personal diaspora enriches us.
Hello Natasha. Trust me I am not a person praising others too often, but let me tell you I admire and adore your activity. You are a human in the best sense. You give hope to us, we can believe that not all Russians are war criminals or silent accomplices. Keep up the great work.
Such an interesting country and you've put a lot of effort into making the video! Neither Pepsi nor Coke, I especially like the old mosaic decorated buildings.
There are always many Uzbeki artists at the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market. Great artists. Great folk. Great history. I hope to visit some day.
My wife and I were in Uzbekistan in 2008. We were in Xiva, Bukhara and Samarkand but not in Tashkent. It was very interesting and the people there were all very friendly. I recognized many of the places you visited. Like the stores with the beautiful hand-embroidered fabrics (we bought a coverlet for a bed) at Registan Square and also the market with the many different vegetables and nuts. Surprising for us was that the Uzbeks although they are Muslims, always drank vodka after the meal, we of course also. Don't know if this is still the case now, but at that time cotton oil was used in many dishes, which not everyone can tolerate. Therefore, the vodka was almost like a medicine. Drink it very rarely, but if then Coca Cola and that with a lot of lemon juice.
4:45 "This metal seat was quite hard, preparing you for the harsh childhood in a post-Soviet country." haha!! This is why I subscribe to this channel. Your friends are nice, but I like you best when you are alone, exploring a place and sharing witty thoughts.
It helps instill the motivation in the children not to sit upon their behinds for long but get going instead. It's good for a few swinging. 『此地不留人, 自有留人處。』"If this place hasn't a place for a person, there will be a place for the person."
Hi Natasha & Dari!🎉 Wow! Your 🇺🇿 video is your most adventurous, yet. Exotic rich culture, conflict driven history, dehumanizing migrant myths ..etc… I also noticed corpora-tocracy. PepsiCo owns KFC & Lays Potato Chips, Nestle owns Nescafé, Coca Cola owns everything else. I’ll stop rambling 😂, 👍🏽up video, hope to see the next one, soon.
21:29 From all the things I was most impressed by that thin but strong tables in train, That must be most stable seat table in any vehicle, and it is huge also.
I learned a lot from your video - even after watching Dari Step, RussianPlus and CoolVision. The three of you are very insightful and create excellent travel clogs.
That was fun Natasha. I enjoyed this longer look at your travels in Uzbekistan. There are some lovely places there. Those fortresses and mosque looking buildings were very beautifully decorated. I liked seeing you get a chance to try skiing. Sorry you didn't care for it. As always this was very informative which is something I have loved about your videos from back when I first encountered you. I hope all is well with you. Oh - when I was a kid I loved Pepsi. Now I am more of a Coke person.
An excellent interesting and informative video Natasha. Some of the ancient architecture is simply stunning. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Love from the UK.
The cuisines look pretty great, a lot of meat mixed with soup and bread (Y) Some of the places look highly similar with Khabarovsk, Vladivostok. I would say the biggest difference is probably the view inside the markets. Great Video overall, haven't seen you posted such a long video on your channel. A lot of effort for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Said it before but thanks for taking us on your travels! In this video, you seem a bit more lighthearted than in a long time. That fact lifted my heart.
Very interesting and thanks for discussing the language situation. It's so frustrating that most travel vloggers never discuss language politics/sociology. It's interesting and says a lot about the country, its power structure, history and identity - and, who knows, maye in 20 years it will be different and will be interesting to see what has changed. Your vlog therefore is an important historic document. Da iawn a diolch o Gymru - thanks from Wales. 🏴
@@powerwise234it’s forbidden to draw imagery of any figures in Islam so why would u purposely want to disrespect a religion and expect it’s people to treat u kind ?
Thank you Natasha. I love your videos. I have never commented on a RUclips video before but just had to add my thanks. What you do is educational, entertaining, and just amazing.
Thank you so much for this video! We travelled to these places from Moscow during Soviet times. The medreses are of course beautiful. The mosaics etc. Then the ladies emancipation movement was on its height there. I got to know some young ladies making sketches of them.Gulsara told me that they used an herb called UZMA to draw their eyebrows ...singular line above their eyes. Like that of Frida Kahlo.
i am from uzbekistan, and thanks for this video. really i enjoyed this video and at the same time i am ashamed, yeah i admit we are poor but we will become rich nation, i promise.. bye.
Tandoori ovens are used also in India, where it has the same name. You can get a tandoori bread or tandoori chicken in almost every indian restaurant in Europe.
This was quite captivating! This entire video was very interesting, I’m super thankful you shared the video. I would definitely want to travel to Uzbekistan someday. I want to try the food and see the markets 😊
Wow! You go girl. You totally stepped it up with this video! Uzbekistan is such an interesting place, foreign to most of us, and you showed us both the highlights and everyday things. I seriously want to visit now because of you. Good job! Also - those huge old intricately-carved wooden columns are beyond beautiful! I feel like I need to see those in person
This helps improve people’s knowledge and understanding of Uzbekistan,really useful in breaking down barriers and educating people,good job Natasha ✌️❤️🇬🇧
genuinely loved this video! i really loved your analyses and the way you presented the information, i was enthralled the whole time. thank you so much for your hard work!
Thanks for teaching me about the geography, language and migration patterns of this region. I would never have learned that else where. I got a good laugh at the "art installation", the "f off merch" and many other comments you made. Very enlightening and entertaining as always. Keep the good vids/educating going! Soviet made subways are epic. Strange they chose to show their prestige deep in the ground. But i guess if ppl were going to shelter down there for a coming nuclear war you will want it to look nice!
It's so nice to see how with every video you're becoming more and more radiant and expressive of your personality. Huge change compared to one or two years ago! Greetings from Poland! ❤ and.. down with Putin!
I loved this video. Had no idea Uzbekistan had so much awesome cuisine. Sticking those pastries on the side of the Tandoor was pretty intriguing, and the architecture is gorgeous. But we are having similar issues with immigrant stereotypes here in the US. It seems like every time a bad apple crops up, the entire bunch is thrown out. The state of Florida just signed a fairly aggressive law against undocumented workers, and now the farms are losing their laborers. 🤷♂ Thanks for all the detail and stories, Natasha. 👍
I just read a comment on another channel where some crazy old woman was praising De Santos. I was so horrified! I wished I could just puke all over her. It's the MAGAts who need to be deported!
Thanks for watching😊 What was the most interesting for you in this video? Would you visit Uzbekistan?

Hi Dari 🙋♂
Yes ma'am it looks like winter. It is summer in the northern hemisphere now.
You guys should go to Australia like Eli did. Australia is awesome. I was surprised they allowed tourists from Russia to enter.
Can you guys please please please go to Tajikistan because I have seen some really good video about Tajikistan recently and I am not sure if I should trust them or they are covertly promotional and if true I'd love to go visit Tajikistan myself as they seem very friendly and the country is beautiful specially the nature.

Why you need to go there? Contract of some sort?
How is your life going on in Uzbektan?
Do you like it?
Thanks for another inspiring video, Natasha. It's so good to see you spread your wings and fly around more and more. Godspeed!

I learned a lot from your video - even after watching Dari Step, RussianPlus and CoolVision. The three of you are very insightful and create excellent travel clogs.
😀 thanks
Natasha I love your videos 📸
you have a lovely way of showing countries. and you have a bit of FUN 😎
You Look very Happy Natasha! :)
You taught me so much about Uzbekistan in this video. I Thank you so much!
That was fun Natasha. I enjoyed this longer look at your travels in Uzbekistan. There are some lovely places there. Those fortresses and mosque looking buildings were very beautifully decorated. I liked seeing you get a chance to try skiing. Sorry you didn't care for it. As always this was very informative which is something I have loved about your videos from back when I first encountered you. I hope all is well with you. Oh - when I was a kid I loved Pepsi. Now I am more of a Coke person.
I love your video's your trips to grocery stores are very interesting
An excellent interesting and informative video Natasha. Some of the ancient architecture is simply stunning. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Love from the UK.
Thank you for the video ❤. Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Amazing. Can’t wait to see this country. Thank you.
Passport about to get some miles on it right?😄
Great video.... Uzbekistan is a very interesting and beautiful country... the old architecture is just mesmerising...
The cuisines look pretty great, a lot of meat mixed with soup and bread (Y) Some of the places look highly similar with Khabarovsk, Vladivostok. I would say the biggest difference is probably the view inside the markets.
Great Video overall, haven't seen you posted such a long video on your channel. A lot of effort for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Said it before but thanks for taking us on your travels! In this video, you seem a bit more lighthearted than in a long time. That fact lifted my heart.
Great video. Fascinating to see the Uzbek language written in both Latin and Cyrillic letters.
I’m a citizen of Alaska. To me this is a view into another world. Thank you for the video and I hope things get easier for you soon.
Very interesting and thanks for discussing the language situation. It's so frustrating that most travel vloggers never discuss language politics/sociology. It's interesting and says a lot about the country, its power structure, history and identity - and, who knows, maye in 20 years it will be different and will be interesting to see what has changed. Your vlog therefore is an important historic document. Da iawn a diolch o Gymru - thanks from Wales. 🏴
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Let hope the whole world gets together and people can visit other countries without worrying about anything
Yes, even if you draw mohammed.
Who the fu*k would visit terrorist russia if it is called that in the future?
@@powerwise234it’s forbidden to draw imagery of any figures in Islam so why would u purposely want to disrespect a religion and expect it’s people to treat u kind ?
@@ezerei2911 Because I should have a right ro express myself, and in fact I do in the west.
@@powerwise234 u can express urself while still having the basic decency to not insult/mock anyone!
Thank you Natasha. I love your videos. I have never commented on a RUclips video before but just had to add my thanks. What you do is educational, entertaining, and just amazing.
Thank you so much for this video! We travelled to these places from Moscow during Soviet times. The medreses are of course beautiful. The mosaics etc. Then the ladies emancipation movement was on its height there. I got to know some young ladies making sketches of them.Gulsara told me that they used an herb called UZMA to draw their eyebrows ...singular line above their eyes. Like that of Frida Kahlo.
i am from uzbekistan, and thanks for this video. really i enjoyed this video and at the same time i am ashamed, yeah i admit we are poor but we will become rich nation, i promise.. bye.
I think your country is beautiful
Tandoori ovens are used also in India, where it has the same name. You can get a tandoori bread or tandoori chicken in almost every indian restaurant in Europe.
This was quite captivating! This entire video was very interesting, I’m super thankful you shared the video. I would definitely want to travel to Uzbekistan someday. I want to try the food and see the markets 😊
Wow! You go girl. You totally stepped it up with this video! Uzbekistan is such an interesting place, foreign to most of us, and you showed us both the highlights and everyday things. I seriously want to visit now because of you. Good job! Also - those huge old intricately-carved wooden columns are beyond beautiful! I feel like I need to see those in person
Super interesting.
This helps improve people’s knowledge and understanding of Uzbekistan,really useful in breaking down barriers and educating people,good job Natasha ✌️❤️🇬🇧
genuinely loved this video! i really loved your analyses and the way you presented the information, i was enthralled the whole time. thank you so much for your hard work!
Thanks for teaching me about the geography, language and migration patterns of this region. I would never have learned that else where. I got a good laugh at the "art installation", the "f off merch" and many other comments you made.
Very enlightening and entertaining as always. Keep the good vids/educating going!
Soviet made subways are epic. Strange they chose to show their prestige deep in the ground. But i guess if ppl were going to shelter down there for a coming nuclear war you will want it to look nice!
I missed this video ,I'm glad I found it 😊 thank you for taking us with you 😊
It's so nice to see how with every video you're becoming more and more radiant and expressive of your personality. Huge change compared to one or two years ago! Greetings from Poland! ❤ and.. down with Putin!
Another excellent education and travel video from an incredible woman.
I loved this video. Had no idea Uzbekistan had so much awesome cuisine. Sticking those pastries on the side of the Tandoor was pretty intriguing, and the architecture is gorgeous. But we are having similar issues with immigrant stereotypes here in the US. It seems like every time a bad apple crops up, the entire bunch is thrown out. The state of Florida just signed a fairly aggressive law against undocumented workers, and now the farms are losing their laborers. 🤷♂ Thanks for all the detail and stories, Natasha. 👍
I just read a comment on another channel where some crazy old woman was praising De Santos. I was so horrified! I wished I could just puke all over her. It's the MAGAts who need to be deported!
21:21 OH MY GOSH..THATS GORGEOUS
