    It's amazing to see these places in such a personal way. I am from Australia, and almost all the places you visit are the complete opposite of where I live, and I love it! I'd love to do the same one day and visit these places, but prices for flights in Australia are just ridiculous! But thank you for this content! It's so much better than many other travelling channels.

    I've seen that many towns of similar size in Russia or even much larger towns have just abandoned public buildings and no events because they have no funding. So it's nice to see that they still have a cultural life there with events and maintenance.

    In Latvia there was near Gulbene a nuclear base, and it was very popular for visitors, but it started flooding and collapsing, so like 5 years ago it was demolished, safety inspections were most concerned about the 4 rocket silos around 100m deep starting to collapse there.
