That should've made (in their perception) soviet citizen to have a feeling of "belonging to something great, a greater purpose".

I’m Uzbek. And it doesn’t matter you may say Uzbekistan or Ozbekistan, Tashkent or Toshkent. It’s like saying Rossiya and Russia. Both ways are correct.
I have a question about Uzbekistan: is Kummush Razzoqova (Кумуш Раззакова) famous? She is a singer. I was listening to some of her music, and I really liked it. I also like music by Nasiba Abdullaeva, and Bolalar. Are these very famous people in Uzbekistan?
@@Pedgerow yes, they are actually iconic artists in the Uzbekistan’s history, they used to be very famous not only in Uzbekistan but in neighbor Soviet countries as well, they are kind of old school artists from the golden era of uzbekistani music culture. Basically they are products of Soviet times, which is important to mention. I’m a young guy, I was born in a post soviet time, so I did miss their peak of their career. They are not singing now (expect singer from Bolalar is doing something aonetimes) but everyone in Uzbekistan knows them.
When that friendly guy in the metro said you look like a Russian gangster he most likely was talking about Danila Bagrov's brother - Vitya, who was bald and also wore a blue jacket with a backpack in the movie "Брат 2" when he arrived to Moscow :)

He just has an open mind and knows that the world is really safer than western media has you believe. Sure I thought he had balls going to Sinaloa in Mexico granted, but Uzbekistan is safe. So is Ukraine, I was in Kiev and felt safer than in London. People were kind even ones who could not speak any English were patient and tried to communicate best they could.

Remember when him and Alina hid the kitten on international flights for 2 days and took it back to Belarus. This guy has been really sick in a Croatian hospital with Covid. No one to help him. His intrepid journeys are not for the fainthearted.

@@sarahwood8943 I think we take for granted sometimes how hard it is to prepare a dialogue in your mind and deliver it correctly for the camera, he most likely had done many retakes of that shot/dialogue when the girl interrupted him. So he might have felt a bit frustrated. I dont think its anything so dark to deem as a "bad side". Just normal human emotion. Getting in front of the camera and self shooting at the right angle while maintaining a clear thought process to say what you want to say correctly isnt as easy as it seems.
I am from Belarus and am pleasantly surprised by the hospitality of the Uzbeks and the beauty of the streets in the cities. I hug all Uzbeks :) Я из Беларуси и приятно удивлен радушию узбеков и красоте на улицах в городах. Обнимаю всех узбеков :)
It’s clean because you will never believe how many street sweepers are in Uzbekistan... my hubby is English and he could believe that everywhere you look people are sweeping streets lol
@@Q_QQ_Q I talked to three ladies in Samarkand and they were sweeping the streets for $1 a day and it took them 50 cents to get to work every days from their village on the bus.. they had no days off, they worked 7 days a week from March to November and sometimes in the winter...
I very like that Bald is the only one that show us countries that dont have much tourism. Before I got a fan of B&B I thought that only major tourist cities like Paris or London are nice to visit. But after I saw a lot of Videos of B&B I want to travel to countries which dont have a lot of tourists. Because the smile of the people is more than a smile. Its hit you in your heart if you see it. And much more worth than some sights that you saw in 1k pics. Thanks Mr. Bald for open my mind for these people. Great Video from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I traveled small towns and villages in western europe in the 70s for 3 years loved the people and the hospitality. In the big cities not so much. I fully agree with you, by the way the bulk of my time was in Germany.
Bald is the most underrated RUclipsr on RUclips - like, it's proper travel vlogs with no fancy hotels, crew or scripts. Man makes me miss leaving the UK on an adventure!
Wow. What incredibly friendly and also open-minded people. They're not running away from you acting weird and strange, but they actually approach you. A country with good vibes!
yeah uzbeks are very friendly people generally, i really dont know why some russians have such a shitty attitude towards them, they generally very friendly towards russians in their own country
@@Flakka- there are English classes at school but they aren't that good, most people learn it with language courses and there are a lot of people like that girl that want to practise their English with tourists.
I usually get very self-consious fearing what people might think as if I'm crazy... but I won't care anymore and I'll let myself enjoy anything I want to touch from now on!
How about a Guide to Bukhara. Your travelogues tempt us but do we have the cahones to follow in your footsteps? Perhaps a Daily Bald Tourist Guide (without Simon Wilson) - I'm sure many of us would pay a fee to be guided by you - or are we happy to live vicariously through your lens.
@@RandomDudeOne I genuinely think he thought the kind of journeys he would be going on for his second channel (museums, searching for tapestry etc) wouldn’t have the same appeal or garner the same amounts of views as he does on his first channel. Little did he know that most of his subscribers would happily watch him wander round former USSR countries aimlessly, chatting away about Soviet history.
Welcome to Uzbekistan, Benjamin! Uzbekistan is our homeland, it offers a lot to explore, fascinating history, delicious food, sincere hospitality to name a few. So enjoy your visit, we look forward to following you along your adventurous journey in the country.
I have just had a chat with a person whose family comes from Samarkand on one side. You seem like very nice people! I'm interested in this part of the word. Such fabulous history! Warm wishes from Australia.
@@mothratemporalradio517 hi Cat, so nice to hear from you, thanks! I spent two months in Sydney in mid 1995, loved it. Feel free to reach out anytime if I can be of any help.
@@BakhtiyorMukhamadiev Thanks so much, Bakhtiyor! That's a good time to have been in Sydney, too, it was so much nicer then! Great, i think i probably will pop up again (once i have a bit more time) with a request for some Uzbek music recommendations! Take care in the meantime c: 🐨
@Bakhtiyor Mukhammadiev Watching and observing what Bald has shown on his videos of your land and your generously friendly people, I am very impressed with the sheer beauty of both your people and your land. One can get the feeling for your traditions and culture. Though I know that a visit on my part is not practical for the distances, your country has become one of my truly favorites. Honor to Uzbekistan and its beautiful people!
@@gerardpully762 hi Gerald, thanks so much for your warm words, appreciate it! Thanks to Bald, he is really good at what he does. We started following him a while ago, and were hoping that one day he'd visit Uzbekistan too. Hope you'd be able to go too someday, and if that happens, please do reach out. I'd be more than happy to help if I can.
I went to Bukhara when it was USSR, too young to appreciate it, but they were the only friendly people we met in the whole of USSR 😁 The Uzbecs we met were soldiers just back from fighting in Afganistan(well thats what they said, as young ladies we drank Vodka all night with them & walked about town - they sang a lot I remember 🤣🤣
3:42 and 3:45 - the way that they looked back and held the doors for people behind is really impressive, the level of consideration they have for others is just admirable
I'm by no means Uzbek, but I was born there and my parents and grandparents were too. After we move out in 1999, we integrated their culture to ours because it's amazing. Great hospitality, great food and super friendly. Great country to visit, haven't been there since I moved but would love to come back and visit ! Too sad not to many people around the world especially here in Canada ever heard of it and compare it to Afghanistan.
It's about trust. If the driver feels like he trusts them, it is a show of respect, and therefore are not going to do anything like that. The respect is reciprocal
Bald travels for a living and is pretty good at it. Just because a country is poor does not mean the people are heathens. That shit usually only happens in 1st world countries. On a side note he video tapes his interactions so that would make it very easy to identify someone, had things gone wrong. I'll never understand why people criticize the things he does when they've never been out their country experiencing the things he does on the daily.
how bloody friendly these people are? 'go ahead and film. squeeze in mozhna mozhna. want a cig? want some fruit?' and everyone's driving like a lunatic. man i love turkic people.. < 333
Yes, we are Uzbeks are famous for hospitality and welcoming people! We love people... and the most generous people live in Central Asia... we believe that it’s important to make people happy and please them! Well we do have some odd balls here and there lol
@@AntPet999 we had much worse driver in Bishkek... he was driving 120km/h on bloody small car on opposite side of the road with left side steering wheel... and yes, you are right that because of them many people die in all countries...
yea thankfully my history teachers were all pretty cool in school. always being interested in history made those classes pretty decent and with good teachers you open the doors to all sorts of shit.
I love Uzbekistan very much and it is one of the most friendly countries in the world. The Hotel Uzbekistan is iconic. I don't remember Tashkent metro being quiet like that. There are many interesting places off the tourist trail including the Nurata mountains, but it is well worth travelling to all the main cities before the thousands of tourists return ...
Reminds me of my return from Haj, twenty years ago. We stopped off in Syria for a few days on the way back from Saudi Arabia. We took a tour to the Israeli border by taxi along narrow, winding roads with hairpin bends. The taxi driver took great delight in my gasps of terror as he drove at full speed, in his dilapidated skoda, towards a sharp bend only to break at the last second. I gave him an extra large tip. Fond memories!
Same here lmao, father was explaining something and I answered with "Ponyal, ponyal" (I get it, I understand)😄 he knows lil bitty of russian so he was like "wut 😆" EDIT: fixed the word.
My dad visited Uzbekistan in the 90s to help train their customs officers, he brought us back some of their circular bread lol Thankyou baldy, very cool
Absolutely awesome video. Better than Estonia or Ukraine. People are happy, babushkas are kind, drivers are cowboys, the food looks delicious and locals are friendly 😍
When I saw you eating Plov that reminded me of some good times eating Uzbek food in Prague in a restaurant by the Vltava. I immediately looked up an Uzbek restaurant in my city, and fortunately, living in a huge city, I found one near work. Guess who's eating Uzbek food after work ;) As always, amazing video Mr. Bald
Benjamin, your travels have changed my mind about so many no-go-countries. Thank you for bringing this world together. It was hilarious 🤣 to have someone interrupting your glorious monologue. I am so excited to learn more about this country.
@@jakubigrek8148 This is your opinion. Maybe they got rid of people with mental diarrhea who are now our problem, at least those who were not mowed down by machine guns during protest marches.
What I like from all this soviet metros is they dont' have a bunch of advertising billboards in the platforms, just the plain architecture in all its glory
So finally in Uzbekistan, the land of beautiful, big hearted people, you experience when food vendor offer you fruit for free. Uzbekistan Tashkent is love 💕
@@SabihNawab70 wow!!! That’s great!!! I miss Tashkent too, I grew up there and left in 2001... I didn’t go there for 17 years and when I was back it was really overwhelming and the city changed so much...
Son: Dad Bald, why is my sister called Rose? Bald: Because your mother loves roses, son. Son: I understand, thanks dad Bald! Bald: No problem, Soviet Sink
Finally, Benjamin is in my country. Welcome to Uzbekistan! I hope you are enjoying your trip. Btw, you should explore Tashkent metro more. Every station has its unique style, very clean and safe, you'll like it. Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are indeed must-visit cities. Enjoy and take care!
Bukhara is the hometown of one of the great Islamic scholars, Imam Bukhari Also, I love the phonetic way you pronounced your name to that sweet Farzona ❤️
A few years ago I went to Japan to study Japanese and many of my classmates were from Uzbekistan. I'm still in contact with one of them today and we communicate through Japanese, we're both back in our home countries though. Hope I can go to Uzbekistan one day and visit him.

@@sarahwood8943 I think we take for granted sometimes how hard it is to prepare a dialogue in your mind and deliver it correctly for the camera, he most likely had done many retakes of that shot/dialogue when the girl interrupted him. So he might have felt a bit frustrated. I dont think its anything so dark to deem as a "bad side". Just normal human emotion. Getting in front of the camera and self shooting at the right angle while maintaining a clear thought process to say what you want to say correctly isnt as easy as it seems.

I very like that Bald is the only one that show us countries that dont have much tourism. Before I got a fan of B&B I thought that only major tourist cities like Paris or London are nice to visit. But after I saw a lot of Videos of B&B I want to travel to countries which dont have a lot of tourists. Because the smile of the people is more than a smile. Its hit you in your heart if you see it. And much more worth than some sights that you saw in 1k pics.
Thanks Mr. Bald for open my mind for these people.
Great Video from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I traveled small towns and villages in western europe in the 70s for 3 years loved the people and the hospitality. In the big cities not so much.
I fully agree with you, by the way the bulk of my time was in Germany.
Yes "the roads less traveled" have always been my best memories...
Bald is the most underrated RUclipsr on RUclips - like, it's proper travel vlogs with no fancy hotels, crew or scripts. Man makes me miss leaving the UK on an adventure!
Underatted.?
@@grahampaul4648 The most overused word in social media - it'll pass one of these decades
Wow. What incredibly friendly and also open-minded people. They're not running away from you acting weird and strange, but they actually approach you. A country with good vibes!
yeah uzbeks are very friendly people generally, i really dont know why some russians have such a shitty attitude towards them, they generally very friendly towards russians in their own country
I'm so glad he came back to Central Asia. 🇺🇿 I'm truly fascinated by this region.
It is so fascinating! It's one region that I know almost nothing about. Even the way people look is not how I expected!
Thank you for kind words.

Big stackD question from a sub, have you weighed your treasure lately? How heavy are we now?
How about a Guide to Bukhara. Your travelogues tempt us but do we have the cahones to follow in your footsteps? Perhaps a Daily Bald Tourist Guide (without Simon Wilson) - I'm sure many of us would pay a fee to be guided by you - or are we happy to live vicariously through your lens.
just like his main channel back in 2019
@@RandomDudeOne Maybe he just wanted 2 golden play button awards 👌🏻
@@RandomDudeOne I genuinely think he thought the kind of journeys he would be going on for his second channel (museums, searching for tapestry etc) wouldn’t have the same appeal or garner the same amounts of views as he does on his first channel. Little did he know that most of his subscribers would happily watch him wander round former USSR countries aimlessly, chatting away about Soviet history.
Uzbekistan is just another country I never would have considered visiting in a million years, but thanks to Bald I’m now genuinely considering going.
Same, never in a million years would i have thought that my dream after finishing uni would be traveling the bloody Caucasus and central Asia lmao.

Welcome to Uzbekistan, Benjamin! Uzbekistan is our homeland, it offers a lot to explore, fascinating history, delicious food, sincere hospitality to name a few. So enjoy your visit, we look forward to following you along your adventurous journey in the country.

@Bakhtiyor Mukhammadiev Watching and observing what Bald has shown on his videos of your land and your generously friendly people, I am very impressed with the sheer beauty of both your people and your land. One can get the feeling for your traditions and culture. Though I know that a visit on my part is not practical for the distances, your country has become one of my truly favorites. Honor to Uzbekistan and its beautiful people!
@@gerardpully762 hi Gerald, thanks so much for your warm words, appreciate it! Thanks to Bald, he is really good at what he does. We started following him a while ago, and were hoping that one day he'd visit Uzbekistan too. Hope you'd be able to go too someday, and if that happens, please do reach out. I'd be more than happy to help if I can.

I went to Bukhara when it was USSR, too young to appreciate it, but they were the only friendly people we met in the whole of USSR 😁 The Uzbecs we met were soldiers just back from fighting in Afganistan(well thats what they said, as young ladies we drank Vodka all night with them & walked about town - they sang a lot I remember 🤣🤣
@@Malik-ts3vw Someone in comment mentioned Taliban, talk to them ...
3:42 and 3:45 - the way that they looked back and held the doors for people behind is really impressive, the level of consideration they have for others is just admirable
I live in Uzbekistan, once forgot to held the door, slammed woman really hard(
That's a normal thing lol, most people do it
You always do it in post soviet countries, even in big cities, like Moscow, because doors in metro were really heavy back then.
I'm by no means Uzbek, but I was born there and my parents and grandparents were too. After we move out in 1999, we integrated their culture to ours because it's amazing. Great hospitality, great food and super friendly. Great country to visit, haven't been there since I moved but would love to come back and visit !
Too sad not to many people around the world especially here in Canada ever heard of it and compare it to Afghanistan.
so where are you from then?

I'll never understand why Bald leaves his passport and backpack in cars when he gets out of them
Adventures!
It's about trust. If the driver feels like he trusts them, it is a show of respect, and therefore are not going to do anything like that. The respect is reciprocal
Bald travels for a living and is pretty good at it. Just because a country is poor does not mean the people are heathens. That shit usually only happens in 1st world countries. On a side note he video tapes his interactions so that would make it very easy to identify someone, had things gone wrong. I'll never understand why people criticize the things he does when they've never been out their country experiencing the things he does on the daily.
Even if your passport gets stolen it doesn't mean the end of the world.
Live on the edge. Drive fast, take chances.
how bloody friendly these people are? 'go ahead and film. squeeze in mozhna mozhna. want a cig? want some fruit?' and everyone's driving like a lunatic. man i love turkic people.. < 333
Yep! very different behavior than some other parts of the world!
Yes, we are Uzbeks are famous for hospitality and welcoming people! We love people... and the most generous people live in Central Asia... we believe that it’s important to make people happy and please them! Well we do have some odd balls here and there lol
Because of this crazy driving many people die.. Government must work out something

I wish this guy was my history teacher in high school. He has so much passion for the past and there’s not many history teachers that actually care
yea thankfully my history teachers were all pretty cool in school. always being interested in history made those classes pretty decent and with good teachers you open the doors to all sorts of shit.
is it just me or is daily bald getting as good as the main channel?
same content, diversified sources in case of youtube censorship, among other things. probably just rebranded for authenticity

I love Uzbekistan very much and it is one of the most friendly countries in the world. The Hotel Uzbekistan is iconic. I don't remember Tashkent metro being quiet like that. There are many interesting places off the tourist trail including the Nurata mountains, but it is well worth travelling to all the main cities before the thousands of tourists return ...
Indeeed. I went there. But stayed in city palace Tashkent near the amir temur statue
Reminds me of my return from Haj, twenty years ago. We stopped off in Syria for a few days on the way back from Saudi Arabia. We took a tour to the Israeli border by taxi along narrow, winding roads with hairpin bends. The taxi driver took great delight in my gasps of terror as he drove at full speed, in his dilapidated skoda, towards a sharp bend only to break at the last second. I gave him an extra large tip. Fond memories!
I visited Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara 4 years ago. This video brings back memories.
I've watched so much Bald lately that I said spasibas instead of thanks in the store yesterday. The addiction is real
It's just ''Spasibo'' but nice to hear xD
Same here lmao, father was explaining something and I answered with "Ponyal, ponyal" (I get it, I understand)😄 he knows lil bitty of russian so he was like "wut 😆"
