I rarely leave comments, but I absolutely adore your videos. Real people, real places, real everyday life. It’s so fabulous!! People and places most of us will never get to experience. No tourist traps, just real life. I watch all of your videos repeatedly. Thank you for sharing your lives and travels with everyone. Blessings and Love from the USA ❤️🇺🇸
@@MattandJulia Will you ever travel to the USA? Will you ever have children, l know the children have will be so beautiful. I absolutely love all your videos, so interesting and I feel like I am traveling with y’all. Keep up the traveling.
God Bless you both. I’m in my 70’s and I’ve become a travel snob. When I was younger I would camp out and take public transportation but now that I’m old I need my own vehicle and a nice hotel room and eating out. It’s terrible I know. I love watching the two of you being so adventurous. I would be scared to stay in Guests houses. You guys do it with such gusto and vigor. I’ve learned so much by watching your channel. And seen places like I’d never be able to see them. You both do such a great job of giving us the history of each place you visit. You both were born to do this. I hope you get to continue your travels for as long as you want too. ❤️❤️❤️ When that guy said give me 100 for a beer you should have said give me a thousand so I can rent a car. 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for such lovely words Cheryl! So sweet of you! We appreciate it! 🥰 So glad to have you along with us! ❤️ Haha, now that would have been a trade! 😃
I like the CBT initiative, it was a nice house you stayed in too. Thanks for the interesting background information you gave on Karakol. Lovely old church building that! Your meals look so appetising, well presented, yum! 😋😋 Interesting story about the awkward situation with the disco guy... 😬😀
Karakol has a quaintness about it that makes travel worthwhile. What I always love about your videos guys is the way you allow us to experience the town or city as though we were there with you. That's a quality you guys possess that makes your videos so special and addictive. When you talked about the feeling of being at the edge of something wild and then the view from your room...it just felt warm and beautiful. Stay safe and be good.
That's what I like about you two you attract such unusual people ( weirdos for the most part) and that's just us subscribers! The positive vibes express heading your way!
You can run into people everywhere asking for a beer...haha. Karakol is much better than the sanitorium...food and accomodations. Another great video. 💗 from San Diego, CA.
Loved this video, thank you. Such a nice house where you are staying. As always seeing, different places and cultures and such lovely architectural history. Your both brilliant, we were laughing about the Morrisons bags 🤣 it's just so random. The food looked great, thanks for sharing. Wow, had to laugh about the demanding drinking disco dancer 👀 yes there's always one, ha ha🕺🕺it's like they have sixth sense. The views were brilliant from where your staying. Looking forward to the next one 👍🥰 x
Thank you so much Shelly! Really appreciate it! 🥰 Haha, the morrisons situation is still something we are struggling to get our heads around to be honest 😁 And the dancer was a handful to say the least! We were glad to get away from him to be honest 😬😁
@@MattandJulia ha ha 🕺thank you, we love the videos and the personal responses it makes our day. Your travel planning is brilliant, content great and informative were looking forward to your next one 🥰🥰 your doing a great job thank you for letting us be part of your journey xx
This was a great video. I had no idea about this corner of the world. I love the history and explanation of the architecture. I've been having trouble hearing your videos the last couple of times. I might be getting old. Anyway, it was a great video. I always look forward to your videos.
I wanted to just say hello, new subscriber here! I discovered your channel not long ago and love it: real life, real people, real experiences while travelling and also a lot of good info mixed in there. Keep up your awesome work! Currently binge watching your travels since the beginning today since I have time, and currently on the awesome Baikal part ❤️

Continue to help their journey by watching. Matt and Julia always bring lots of fun to their vlogs. Interesting story in Karakol , Kygyzstan. Bringing you LOL from Richmond, Va. 💕💕
I’m a brown girl and I don’t know if I’d be welcomed but I love Russia and all that’s connected thanks to you guys. I get to travel right from my home♥️ Thank you!
I started watching your videos from Skopje and the European leg of your travels .. great fun , informative and I enjoyed , u both did things differently than most other vlogers 👍keep it up .. even though I’m informative of Europe , all your videos were great 👍 now your entering foreign areas or “ not so touristy destinations “ it’s opened my eyes 👀.. look forward to watching 👍have fun guys 🙏
The Dungan food looks amazing. I have never tried it. I love Uyghur food though and some of it looks similar, like you say about one of the dishes a bit like Laghman.
Great expose on a part of the world 99.99% of us will never get to. Am hoping it is not just me but I'm curious how much things cost, like the stay in the guest house and the meal you enjoyed. Thanks!
On goats which love to "run around and eat"...the place we now live in came with two goats. They had a large enclosed area and were well fed. But ... if they could get out and run around , they certainly ate. Usually they targeted shrubs with the largest price tag.
It's scary and also irritating to have to deal with people like that man. You don't know if they're crazy or drunk, and they can get out of control in a heartbeat. Psycho! Loved the house where you got to stay. Very nice.
I don't know how Morrisons bags ended up here in KG. But are kind of brand on their own now, regardless of the chain in the UK. It is a brand of plastic bags here. I think the supplier will keep producing these bags and send to KG with same branding even if the chain in the UK ceases to exist.😀
I have read a similar story about frozen chicken from the US ending up in Kg, that people called "Bush legs" (this was during Bush) but I don't know if that is an urban legend. Can't remember where I read it..
I'm fairly sure the Morrisons bags are actually made in Kyrgyzstan rather than being exported, for some reason that logo has become really popular and has just been copied from Morrisons. Some of them have Kyrgyz written on them and if you are really lucky you might see the very rare different coloured Morrisons bags, red, blue green etc!
I had something like that happen to me , l was at a Kroger grocery shopping , l was well dressed wearing my jewelry and conservative dressed, after work, didn’t have time to go home and change. So I’m standing in line ready to get outta there, so this weirdo approaches me and says I only have to get a few things and I’m ready to go home, can you give me a lift ? I turn around and looking if he’s talking to me or someone else “ 🤔 , hmm ah no I said who do you think you are to approach me as if I know you. He’s like l don’t live far from here . I answered, good start walking. Ooh the nerve. I of course asked the security guard walk me to my car . Bye 👋
in the US, shirts and items for sports championships are printed for both teams winning. Then the losing teams gear ends up in Africa for the most part.
@@MattandJulia No I don’t think so ! Country like Kyrgyzstan Turkmenistan Uzbekistan are under control of Russia also Russia introduced government full of corruption what is in favour to them ! As long they faithful to Putin he don’t care haw much money you stolen and you have government for life ! This is the reason why the Soviet block collapsed! Look the country what reject Russian domination like Estonia Latvia Poland Czech Hungary they have today better living standards than Russian in Russia and no Russian living there want to return to Russia!
NO ! Dungan people did not flee because of persecution. They fled because of fear of punishment after a failed revolt. Google up "Dungan Revolt". Please get your facts right instead of spewing rubbish.
The 'spetsnaz' guy sounds incredibly creepy. I wonder if he was just saying that to making himself sound more interesting and not just a pathetic drunk.
After watching several UA-cam tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mr Wilson started managing my investment now I make $10,567 weekly
Wow his story about crypto investment are every where and loves working with people who are serious to make profand invest. He is a busy man who loves serious investors.

Such a difference, totally agree that the capital is like another world!

That house you stayed at was soo nice inside! How random about the bags from the UK?? 😂😂
It is soo weird! 😁 We just couldn't get our heads around it 😬😄
The Dungan food looks amazing. I have never tried it. I love Uyghur food though and some of it looks similar, like you say about one of the dishes a bit like Laghman.
I was worried about you the whole time you were at the sanatorium. Talk about a creepy place. The house you are staying at now is beautiful.
Thank you Pat, if was an experience to sat the least 😀 it was lovely, such friendly hosts too 😊
Beautiful Couple exploring nice places of the world hope this journey continue with more sides .with love and regards 🌹🌺🥀🇵🇰

We are writing a full travel and information guide for Kyrgyzstan on our website with prices, recommendations and more 😊 (www.mattandjulia.co.uk)
There are tons of Finnish plastic bags in small corner shops in Russia (especially around Piter). I'm guessing it's a similar story.
So interesting! And sad at the same time, but I suppose at least they are being used instead of just being thrown into a landfill site 🤷♂️
On goats which love to "run around and eat"...the place we now live in came with two goats. They had a large enclosed area and were well fed. But ... if they could get out and run around , they certainly ate. Usually they targeted shrubs with the largest price tag.
Haha, they had expensive taste! 😅 It was an incredibly bizzare moment watching someone take two goats for a walk 😁
It's scary and also irritating to have to deal with people like that man. You don't know if they're crazy or drunk, and they can get out of control in a heartbeat. Psycho! Loved the house where you got to stay. Very nice.
Yeah exactly, it's like you always have to be on your guard 😬 it 'takes all types' as they say 😀

It is a very remote place which doesn't help with development at all 🤷♂️

Theses countries are depressing. it’s sad see people live like this in theses countries.

You mean in terms of border restrictions becuase of c ovid or just in general?
@@MattandJulia both notions Covid and in case there is problems between countries 🥸
One of you guys likes kopeika.
I wonder if the country is diverse with other nations ..China's ..Africans ..Hindus ...
As well as Kyrgyz there are many, Uzbeks, Russians and some ethnic Chinese 🙂
Looks like time stop in Kyrgyzstan! I guess this would be the poorest country in Caucasian country’s
Kyrgyzstan is still a country where many struggle to make ends meat. Here's to hoping things improve again one day soon🤞🏻
