    Your channel is my favorite UE channel. No weird atmospheric music, no weird sound effects, no existential musings about consumerism and progress. Just top notch abandoned locations with great footage and cool companions. I'm not bashing the other UE channels, I do subscribe and watch Proper people and Broken window theory but their content doesn't entertain and inform me like yours does.
    I am requesting another trip with Ester and Elina(sp?).

      Each to his own of course. I get quickly annoyed from excessive meaningless chatting, not only on youtube channels but in real life as well. The best channels for me are those that leave the talk to the bare minimum and just record the sounds so best catch the atmosphere of the place. I watch this channel for the amazing locations but to be honest I generally mute the sound and have some atmospheric music playing in stead.

    Some people have a question. Why they don't renovate the steam house and power plant? The main reason is cost of renovation and rebuilding. It is easier and cheaper build a new one cause the new generation of machinery bigger and more efficient, an old facilities not fitted for this new equipment. It is impossible to replace steam boilers and turbines without rebuilding the machine halls and supply buildings.

      You are really misled by the reports of the Western media. In fact, our life is not so bad. The social credit system and facial recognition have really been exaggerated. I admit we have these things in China, but the social credit system is only used for financial purposes in China. When you don't have credit, it only restricts your means of transportation and does not allow you to borrow money. The police will not arrest you. Moreover, facial recognition is mostly used in electronic payments and the arrest of criminals. By the way, there are also many ruins explorers in China, and I can't believe you really believe those reports.

    What a nice abandoned power station. However: You should consider censoring faces to prevent people from getting problems. Like the Chinese person below said according to google translate: "At least 2 Chinese friends are in trouble."

      Well, according to the local explorers it's not a problem as long you don't visit/document any semi-active military places. Bili Bili is by example a Chinese UA-cam and people post their adventures to abandoned places too.
