It's amazing that even all the way across the world in such a different culture people still interact with each other just the same way. We're all the same and if more people could recognize that and have empathy the world would be a much better place.

[@Slugcent]

Thank you so much for going to Kyrgyzstan and in general Central Asia! I'm currently doing a bulk of my graduate work on the former Soviet Union states including Central Asia. So seeing basically a virtual tour of these often forgotten and ignored places is amazing. I especially loved the Moldova video, as depressing it was. There's so little content on Central Asia, especially Kyrgyzstan (that's in English). I'm so excited to see the videos to come!

When I was deployed to Afghanistan, the girls in the beauty shop were from Kyrgyzstan. Random comment, I know, but they were very nice, and the bit of peace and quiet while getting a hair wash/cut, was something I'll never forget- the quiet, wooden building, the warm winter sun making the room warm, the sound of the hairdressers voices as they chatted, the warm water...

Fun fact...I lived here in Bishkek for 3 months during my US military days in 2010. I have those very mountains in many videos. I even white water rafted there, ate really good food in the more busy towns and partied my ass off every night. Really good memories.

I'm so glad Bald and Bankrupt does these videos. I find it so interesting to see how people in these countries live so much so that I haven't even watched the Mexico videos. These places are so different, so isolated, so poor in many cases, so simple. There's not a life for miles, there's nothing interesting (or so it seems) where they live, yet, it's interesting to me to learn about their soviet past and how things are today.
