    I teared up a little when that couple and their grandchild offered a meal and entry into their home. There’s something so remarkably human and decent about how they were that I think a part of my soul recognizes and misses from a past life or something. God bless them.

    8:46 .. beautiful lady. A similar thing happened to me in a Bulgarian town 20 years ago on a snowy winter night. I was lost and sick and an old lady dragged me from the train station at midnight to her soviet era apartment block. Wasn't sure what to expect but she woke her husband and son who grabbed some vodka and prepared me a meal. I stayed there 3 nights she washed all my clothes and her son got a friend who spoke basic English to translate. my hotel had closed (my lonely planet book was outdated) and I was gonna freeze at the train station. wonderful hospitality and great memories.

    This video tore me up, in a good way. First of all I'd like to thank you so much for what you're doing.
    I'm an ex karabakh refugee myself, left Baku 25 years ago, travelled to Moscow and after 5 years went to Spain. Now I'm in Germany, but even after these extensive migrations, I still think about this place, as my home, where everything started. And my parents are just like the people you showed, hospitable and friendly. I can even remember the smell of crude oil in the air when you deboarded the plane.
    This channel is worth so much. Thanks Bald.

    Edit: forgot to mention: this man focuses on the most important thing in a country, that is the people. People make a country, not the government, the aspect of the cities, the economy, etc. By far best travel channel on RUclips.

It is a village in the heart of Azerbaijan, inhabited by Russians who were expelled from Russia in 1840 because of their religion and thoughts.
    Wish you good luck and all the best!

    Your channel is such a gift. In a world that focuses so much on negativity and fearmongering, it's such a breath of fresh air to see human beings being decent to each other in so many different places.

    I’m from Azerbaijan and I like the way that you show it from a completely different prespective! I am sure that most of the people who live in Baku do not have an idea how the rest of Azerbaijan is, at least not the way that you show us! Thanks 😍
