Ordinary life and traveling - Central Asia Featured Series - Episode 16

Send me to the cartels in Latin America - freedomalternative.com/donate...
So far we've gone through the politics, the geopolitics, the political opinion of protesters, the history and the economics of Central Asia.
What if you want to live in Central Asia? Or, at the very least, engage in longer visits for short-term work or even leisure.
What are the people like at street level? How about interaction with the State? How do people meet each other here? How's the food? What's the thinking on socio-political issues that are not on the frontpage?
All of these small and not-so-small things can make quite a difference.
So... let's explore!

Thanks for the information. And wonderfully filmed to give a human perspective on the scene-I feel I’m there. Much appreciated.

Non-coercive arranged marriage is a fascinating idea that I think might be strongly considered in North America if current trends continue. People meeting via social media doesn't seem to go all that well for the most part.

32:16 Canada disagrees

[@FreedomAlternative]

Even within Canada there are stark differences. The most loud mouthed weirdos are from Ontario or Vancouver - which also happen to have the least bad weather of all of Canada. Just like in Qazaqstan the most liberal weirdos are from Alma-Ata (mild winters, very hot summers) and not from Qaragandy or Astana (where the winters make the Canadian ones look like a walk in the park).

1. Looks very clean, so I guess Islam did leave an important cultural mark. 2.Regarding demographics, how many of those 20 somethings with children have their parents own homes ? When your main worries (rent, bills, mortgage) dont exist and you have a high level of job security I can see why they would have a high fertility rate.

[@FreedomAlternative]

The homeownership rates in Qazaqstan is nearly identical to the one in Romania - around 95%. Very similar in O'zbekiston. Foreigners are allowed to freely buy land or property in both. There is NO job security in either Qazaqstan, O'zbekiston or Kyrgyzstan. The bills are affordable in O'zbekiston but they're not affordable in Qazaqstan or Kyrgyzstan. Even less so in Turkmenistan. This militant materialism is slowly getting on my nerves and I will address it in a series focused on demographics and particularly on the large swath of mythology and straight-up lies that both the left and the right perpetuate when discussing demographics. If material well-being were so strongly connected to Total Fertility Rate, then you would have growing fertility rate in Poland or Czechia (where the standard of living has been growing uninterruptedly for 33 years in a row). Yet you don't. Also, historically, approximately nobody had "job security" (in itself an anomaly) yet TFR was routinely higher (but not always). Zoom out from materialism. Economics matters, but nowhere near that much in a discussion about demographics.

[@nuam9906]

1.If you unirronically believe that Czechia or Poland have a decent standard of living then we have different definitions for the word 'living'. 2. I know that the ownership is 95% but how much if that are 40m2 appartments Albania-style and how many are proper houses near an economically developped area. Homeownership 5 minutes close to Cluj is not equal to homeownership near a 5k people shithole type of 'city' ​@@FreedomAlternative
