We Were Interrogated By Azerbaijani Border Control

[@nomadicolours]

I love traveling and exploring and I do it every few months for months at a time. But this? More power to you guys! I am so good NOT doing this lol. Thanks for the lessons I don't have to learn

[@ReimaginedAdventures]

Omg ! This was intense 😳 can't wait to see the boat tour! Glad you guys made it !

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We are so glad we made it after all of that! Our first cruise! Boat tour coming soon.

[@JeffLogan]

Great Episode! Dealing with travel issues can be very stressful and you two did a great job pushing through.

[@RachaelMartin]

Oh, wow! What a hectic travel day! Hopefully, everything was smooth sailing from there! 😄

[@michellelkphoto1543]

You guys are WAY more brave than I am! Kudos to you!

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

haha We didn't think we had to be brave for this one! I you just have to be prepared for anything when traveling unconventionally.

[@wangddah]

Yay another upload!!!!! ❤

[@Cocobellaeh]

Sending lots of love and positive vibes, this was so stressful watching this😢

[@bw5911]

OMG, what a crazy experience and this is your first cruise! LOL

[@NelsonFranks-xk1jw]

Absolutely unreal, but not unusual. Back in 2020, right before the pandemic, I had booked a trip to Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, which is when I discovered that travel to and from Azerbaijan from Armenia was not at all simple. Hope you get into Kazakhstan without issues.

[@stacykosluchar8446]

Wow! This totally stressed me out. I really hope everything is smooth sailing from here on out!

[@whereswally7802]

So many of my fears of traveling abroad all in one video. Lack of cell or internet service which leads to inability to communicate which leads to feeling very lost in an unknown world. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this trip. Be safe.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We agree! Experiencing the unknown is a big reason why we like to travel but that same unknown can be horrifying when you're in a possibly bad situation. Sometimes you get a curveball and have to work you're way through it. It's all part of the story. Thanks for watching!

[@autohub.32]

Did you guys not travel in baku 😢

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We toured Baku ourselves but didn't film it like a stand alone video. We had a good time! Our biggest focus was getting on the ferry and planning for our central Asia travels. 😄

[@autohub.32]

@@SOSASATSUNRISE oh cool! 😄

[@airic2897]

what a crazy experience!

[@kimcamp8802]

Hopefully you get into Kazakhstan 😊. For what it's worth, i think you both handled the taxi & border situation well ..I mean what can you do

[@julieeggleton9743]

I fully prepared myself for questions when I went to Azerbaijan a few weeks ago. But nothing. I do have a full passport but the Armenian stamp was there. Absolutely loved Azerbaijan. Not just Baku but Gobustan and a visit to the mountain village of Xinaliq. So glad I chose it for my 100th country.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

I think the airport border control might be less stringent since they don't have as much time to ask questions. We were the only ones going through this particular security. Congrats on 100 countries! Hopefully we will get there one day.

[@Alisa-cd2nz]

This is a very crazy trip 😮 hope you can have a great trip in Kazakhstan 🎉 and do you ever consider to travel into China after traveled Kazakhstan ?😊

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We would LOVE to go to China! Unfortunatly, China is not allowing tourist visas at this time. We will be back in the area eventually and will definitely go to China when we can.

[@Alisa-cd2nz]

@@SOSASATSUNRISE Great! When you come to China, please remember to cc me I will be very glad to be your guide!!🥳

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We would love that! Sending us a dm on instagram or email ([e-mail]) is the best way to keep in touch. 😃

[@fil-amseniorlife3633]

Are you able to use Google Translate in all your travels? Even without internet, Translate will work if you download the language in advance.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We use Google translate a lot but we aren't the best at downloading languages ahead of time. 😅 We thought we were ok because we still had phone data but as soon as we left Baku, our connection wasn't strong enough for anything.

[@Sayitlikitiz101]

Compared to what some people have to experience when coming to the US, this is nothing! The TSA agents can be particularly nasty, and their "random" checks are anything but. I travelled with a British Muslim colleague from Frankfurt to Chicago, I could have carried a bazooka for all the attention they paid me, she was quite literally interrogated, and was even asked if she was faking her "Irish accent", when she is a native of Glasgow and a proud Scot of Indian ancestry. She felt humiliated.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We totally know how terrible it is to cross into the United States. Americans are not immune to the interrogations of TSA. Canada's border patrol can be just as bad when driving across the border. Just rude and intrusive for no particular reason.

Such events occur when a country is led by one clan for more than 50 years.Dictatorship is ruling!

Quit an Adventure!

[@TenTenJ]

Wow, interesting how you had to clean up this comment section. There is nothing here and I know exactly why. Because whatever happened in that video came here.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We don't moderate our comment section so I'm not sure what you mean 🤔

[@TenTenJ]

@@SOSASATSUNRISE oh, I just meant that I was surprised that you didn’t get any hater comments from Azerbaijanis. And I’m assuming, which, of course I could be wrong, as I quickly flippantly wrote the comment in reaction to your dramatic experience, that you had to remove hate bomb comments. I am making that assumption based on my experience of any criticism of Turkish governments, anywhere. Particularly if you mentioned Armenia in this video. You may already know that there is a digital campaign to spam out any videos that have any references to Armenia. You’re welcome to delete my comment and you’re welcome to leave it up. I didn’t mean anything more than that. And I will state that my comment is entirely my opinion, and has nothing to do with what you might think. Despite your experience, I think you presented them quite neutrally.

[@altairibn-laahad6887]

​@@TenTenJthere's no reason for us to hate these guys, they just made a video about their genuine experience while vising our country. :) How did you find this video though? Seems like you have also deliberately searched for some Azerbaijan-related content to spread such stuff about us. Maybe you'd be not so surprised if you hadn't made up a distorted reality in your mind where Azerbaijanis are monitoring internet 24/7 and bullying anyone who dares to say something slightly not-so-positive about their country. We're not in your walls, be less paranoid and chill. I will also state that my comment is entirely my opinion and has nothing to do with what you might think if that'll make you feel better.

[@TenTenJ]

@@altairibn-laahad6887 oh, you don’t have to worry about how I feel because your country has already taken care of how I feel. And that is not something that can be fixed in one day. What I wrote is entirely true. Anyone can come over to any of the Armenian media and you’ll witness for yourself how aggressive those hate comments are. Please don’t gaslight me. Isn’t it ironic that you were right on my back as soon as I left a comment? Hilarious how you in fact, cannot leave the topic of Armenia alone. And how did I find this video? I watched some videos of their Armenia trip. But why does that matter at all? It’s a public video. I hope you can see you just proved me, right. Thank you for leaving your comment. Aggressive tactics. Nothing new.
