Question translated : "Why did you run away? And who was this person?" Here is the full story of our interaction with this person. We were on Tashir street, the main shopping street in the center of Yerevan. The man approached us and said he was a traveler working on a project where he draws people. We politely decline as we did not have time while we were filming for the day. The entire time he spoke to us, he was already drawing and began to follow us as we walked away. Before we started filming again we had already asked him not to follow us. The rest is in the video. Amber was getting much more uncomfortable and Nathan's next course of action would have been much more confrontational. We saw an alley we could disappear down and took the opportunity. You cannot follow someone if you can't find them!
Oh I’m so happy to find your channel as I’m gonna tour in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in two weeks! Thank you for sharing your journey and don’t forget to come to Finland as well! ❤😊
I am surprised to see two sculptures by Fernando Botero (Colombian sculptor) in your video, one of which was Nathan's all time favorite as you said ;-)
I believe the country of Colombia and Armenia have like a sister relationship. They actually have an Armenia in Columbia not because there are a lot of Armenians there, but because I believe one of the dignitaries or leaders of the country married a beautiful Armenian woman.
Love it guys. Its still weird watching your travels before we met you 😂 Only means more to come! Also, that guy was very weird! Don't blame you for running.
Ha We are SO behind. 😅 It is true there is a lot more to come and stories that we find the most interesting and exciting to tell. Hopefully a random meeting in a Kazakhstan train station isn't the last time we meet!
I remember seeing a video of a lady, walking with her friend, they were being followed. She stopped, calmly walked back to him, then "SCREAMED!!!!!!!" right in his face. She then returned to her friend, like nothing happened. The man backed off quick. P.S. Found the video. Not exactly the way I remembered it. Search RUclips "Moment woman SCREAMS at man when he tries to give her money"
Sister you are wery beautiful. Your years and face and woice is amazing. Brother I'm sure that armeniaan girls like you. English is beautiful language. Thank you very much for your videos. God bless you ❤
Thank you for the video! It was really interesting,be safe! I'm from a Vanadzor city, Armenia and will move to Yerevan next year for education purposes. Frankly,I'm quite scared as foreigners come more and more to live in Yerevan and everything becomes EXPENSIVE and SCARY compared to Vanadzor.I'm not used to places with lots of foreigners and God knows what can happen. Especially when you're bloody broke those prices scare me😅I hope everything goes well.
After traveling to more than 50 countries across Europe and Asia, this video shows the first time we were followed or had any confrontation with another person. Although higher costs are unavoidable in any major city, please do not be afraid! Meeting people from all over the world is a big reason why we travel. You should always take care of yourself and be aware of your surroundings but we are never in constant worry something bad is going to happen. Good luck with your studies!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE I've been to some countries and LOVE meeting new people but living among them for years will be a new experience and nowadays going to another country is cheaper than going somewhere in Armenia despite of already living here which sounds unusual for Armenia. Anyway, Thanks a lot!!
Clearly, the man was not Armenian! Sadly, strange folks do receive visa's and should not be permitted to enter. According to Numbeo's latest Crime Index by Country for 2023 has ranked Armenia 7th safest country out of 142 countries in the world. In this list, Qatar has the first place, and right after Armenia, Japan is in the 8th place, Switzerland is in the 9th place, and Bahrain is the top ten. Your videos are outstanding and you provide great insight to cost! Most vloggers, tend to gloss over the cost. Cheers
Thank you so much! Our goal is to take everyone along for the trip and try to answer any questions of how we travel along the way. As for our safety, we were never concerned in Armenia. Even with this individual, we were uncomfortable but never felt unsafe. Thank you for watching!
I think confronting was the right thing to do.. you could've also approached any of the many police cars patrolling there, they'd gladly tell that guy off.. what a weirdo.. never knew someone like that could exist in Yerevan.. also GG (the local version of Uber) works much better than Yandex, and GG drivers are nicer from my experience
Check out our following videos as we traveled to Tatev to see a monastery. However, look into how the border dispute in the south is unfolding. Tatev may not be the direction you want to go. As we said in this video, there are so many other monasteries to go see. Hope our videos help! Have so much fun on your travels!
I highly recommend you guys not to promote Yandex at all. Quote from finnish public media service YLE: "Yandex, the owner of the Russian ride-hailing service Yangon, planned an advertising campaign in Finland targeting the Estonian competitor Bolt. Yandex's main goal was to flood the Finnish media with critical articles about Bolt. Yandex claimed that Bolt misuses EU money and treats its drivers badly." I bet it's difficult to avoid Russian related businesses all the time. Enjoy your journey, stay safe!
Thank you for this. That's probably one reason we were told to pay in cash. Unfortunately we continued to use Yandex Go in our future videos as we traveled east. You're right to say it is hard to avoid but we also don't want to promote a bad company. Thanks for watching and leaving your thoughts.
Երևանը անվտանգ քաղաք է և պետք չե փախչել նման դեպքերում! Ուղակի պետք Եր սյդ երիտասարդին հրավիրել մեկ գավաթ սուրճ խմելու և հասկանալ ինչ է նա ուզում! 😁❤️🌹
Oh my god! I’m an American traveling to Armenia soon for a month(not only Yerevan) and I’ve been trying to find videos that aren’t just the highlights or walking tours of Yerevan and this was exactly it!!! I wish there were 3-4 of these style videos it made me so excited I started laughing out of excitement! Thank you. I do have a contact in Yerevan so my experience will for sure be streamlined but this was such a peace of mind hit as I’m very analytical about my every step. Thank you thank you thank you, just earned a sub! I will also travel to Tiblisi on that same train afterwards so that’s awesome to see the cost of it.
We love to hear this!! We make videos that we would want to find and watch before going to a new place. Hopefully our train and Tbilisi videos post before your trip. If not, we would be happy to answer any questions if we can. Thank you for the sub and following along!
Wonderful guide, thanks guys! Looking at all the signs, Yerevan seems to be a very bilingual city. I'm wondering how much Russian you heard being spoken in the streets vs signs in the two languages.
Not sure! What we began to realize while traveling through the Caucasus, and other former Soviet countries, is many people really resent even knowing Russian and would much rather use their own language. Thank you for watching!
Armenians in Armenia learn Russian as a second language in school. They right now have a lot of Russians living there. And don’t have a problem with Russians.
Салют 👋! Очень красиво и интересно 👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍❤❤ PS. Почему вы убегали? И что это был за человек ?? 🤔🤔

thanks for the information, it helps a lot
Oh no its not typical Armenian behaviour like the man did, it's so sad you had to experience that, so creepy :(
I seen your all vlog kindly upload video frequently. I like your vlog.
We try! 😅 Travel has become more hectic lately. Thank you for watching!
Thankyou so much for you reply ❤❤
Surprisingly, Armenia has one of the biggest US embassy in the world...
Cheers
Not really, United States have one of the highest Armenian population outside of Armenia.
You visit the best place on earth 🌎
This guy didn't look like Armenian, i'm sorry what you guys went through. enjoy the rest of your travels.
Hello from traverse city , love your videos
Hello fellow Michigander! Thank you for watching!
Hi guys, I just want to tell you that I really enjoy your video, please stay safe!!!
Thank you so much!! As adventurous as we are, safety is always our number one priority. 😀
Great video, I’m going to Yerevan tomorrow :)
Finally, I waited for a series about Yerevan)))!!!
Thank you very much for the video. Just what I needed. Everything important was covered!
Oh I’m so happy to find your channel as I’m gonna tour in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in two weeks! Thank you for sharing your journey and don’t forget to come to Finland as well! ❤😊
It was nice to meet you friends!
cool vid!
I am surprised to see two sculptures by Fernando Botero (Colombian sculptor) in your video, one of which was Nathan's all time favorite as you said ;-)
There were two similar sculptures! Thank you for the info! Yes, still my favorite. The mustache was one of a kind! 😃
I believe the country of Colombia and Armenia have like a sister relationship. They actually have an Armenia in Columbia not because there are a lot of Armenians there, but because I believe one of the dignitaries or leaders of the country married a beautiful Armenian woman.
You are so beautiful 😍… thank you for honoring my country. I hope you will visit again.
Great video I’m going to Yerevan next month and found this incredibly helpful, enjoy the rest of your travels 👍
So glad to hear our video was helpful! Have a great time in Armenia.😃

Which month did you travel?
I’m going to Armenia in 35 days. I will be there for 10 days. Any recommendations for my agenda? Great video!

I'm looking to travel to Armenia soon
Avenue Hostel Yerevan

Why you can't change your Turkish lira is because its a garbage currency and toilet paper because of inflation....
People in turkey don't even use their money as they are in hyperinflation.
Call the police
Very helpful video ! I plan to visit Armenia in 2025 to see my exchange student ! We can’t wait !

You should've follow him back.
🤔😂 Just keep trying to stand behind him. I think you might be on to something.
Wonderful guide, thanks guys!

Another great video guys - like the way you explain things. Well done.
