- 🇰🇬I left Kyrgyzstan's worst hotel and headed towards the high peaks of the Ala-Too mountain range on my way towards the radiated town of Mailuu-Suu. And for once I had a friend with me. Join me on a Central Asian road trip...
The Soviet Sink looked totally drained from that long voyage.
One of the best ones so far
@@baldandbankrupt unfortunately I've had the same sinking feeling the entire video as well..
@@baldandbankrupt k u lik pun? I vil giv u pun.
I tried making a sink pun but thought i had better not faucet
@@jorgepeterbarton Haaahahaha! Thanks for the belly laugh!
Find yourself a girl who looks at you the way Bald looks at a Soviet sink.
🤣🤣
Way tomuch hussle. Getting myself a sink this weekend. *
I laughed so hard when that dog sniffed the sink and back the hell away from it
The Soviet Sink has a better travelling life than me in 2020 !!!
January: Travelling the world with Alinchik
November: In bed with a rusty sink
2020. Brutal year
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
bro its not a rust :d
😂
Does anyone know what happened to her?
@@GsuscryST Maybe he was trying his luck too far. Hmmmmmm....
One minute in and we already got a soviet sink, this is going to be good
15 secs in...🙂
@@Nirvana1880 yeah
The whole video was clickbait and you know it... 😘
True
Bald: I liked to buy your sink
Seller: that piece of junk? hah
This channel feels a lot smaller than it actually is because he's so intimate and 1:1 with the camera. This feels like my own private channel that like eight other people watch, but the videos actually get millions of views. It's very nice.
His camera setup is amazing. He's able to use it effortlessly, turning it from face shot to outward without any effort. Also the resolution and exposure and especially the audio are outstanding. Do you know the camera he uses?
@@bill9989 he uses the Sony FDR-X3000 :)
@@TheLostBrit Thanks. Do you know if he uses an external microphone?
@@bill9989 He doesn't
@@baldandbankrupt Thanks Bald. Your camera work is exceeded only by your content. I'm glad you're back and healthy.

The adventures of bald and the soviet sink
Didn't take long to replace Simon
it's a true love story...
I miss Alina chick.
@@lukusmardukus4002 if you wipe this sink it won't complain at least
Still waiting for the day bald will buy a Soviet tank, probably a T-34, but maybe an IS-2? Perhaps? Or a KV?
This road was originally built by Russians in 1960s, before that Kyrgyzstan was basically disjointed by mountains and there was no way to travel from North to South without going through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The 2.2 km tunnel mr. Bald showed us is a true engineering marvel of its time built by Moscow metro builders at the height of 3500 m above sea level.
Nice bit of knowledge thanks
Long live russia
Thanks for that information, I was able to follow that part on Google Earth...Reminded me of I-70 going west from Denver, Colorado with the 2.72 Km Eisenhower Tunnel passing under the Continental Divide at about 3375 meters. Work was started in '68 and finished in '79... very similar and about the same time period.
Wooow very impressive!
M8 its a hole in some stone.
6:04 you’ve just time travelled to 1893
"I would've given it to you for free"
What a great chap 😆
The sink was obviously used as urinal
Judging by the way dog backed off
lol!
Wouldn't that actually attract a dog to sniff it? They love smelling nasty shit lol

Bald: “Why the hell is it so dark!?”
As he’s using sunglasses in the tunnel.
lmao
Haha yeah it didnt look that dark in the video
Okay this comment is underrated af ahaha lmao
It always happened to me until i was with my friend driving and he pointed out that its because of the sunglasses loool
😂😂😂
Omg that dog's reaction to the soviet sink was priceless
Honestly Bald, when you drive into the snowy mountains and come out of that dark Soviet tunnel, to be confronted by the cowboys and their horses - that was pretty fucking cool 👍
I agree
Nobody:
Bald wearing sunglasses in a tunnel : I can't see anything? Are the lights turned on?
😂 😂 Exactly, because we were able to see everything clearly.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was a kid, my mother did the same thing. To this day I still don't know how she didn't kill us all.
It's all fun and games until the sink wants to settle down, get married and have kids
If that happens, he should just pull the plug... 🤣 🤣 🤣
Unsinkable!
Sink ing ship from then on the whole thing will go down the drain
he better watch be careful the sink may Tap him up for some UA-cam money.
this is gold
That sink has done more traveling than I have this whole year
More than 99% of people
Bald couldn't see in the tunnel because he had his sunglasses on.
Sink beats Harald as traveling companion, doesn't require 5 star hotel
Id rather see that sink in every video he posts than harald ever again.
harald gives off bad vibes

*Soviet* sink
I get worries when Bald doesn't post for a while..
Literally thinking the same thing right now
He said he will disappear for 2 weeks then post video if he doesn’t post a video on 20th November I won’t be happy we dont know where he is or even if he is fine 😡😡😡😡
Same here , was just checking to see if he posted a new video
he doesn't have any social media ?
I love the way Bald takes us off the tourist path and gets right in with the real people.
6:00 was like a time travel - the bright light and suddenly a guy on a horse appears.
"Soviet" word count = 27. You're welcome.
Jeep. thats fun right there, LOL. that made mee day, TY
Doing god works here. Thank you, sir.
lolllllz
soviet bless you!
Good man.
“There she is, Uzbekistan” no other channel would give you that ahahaha
more like nahnahanhanahanha
Lmao this man catches the rona, recovers, and one of the first things he does is buy a sink in Kyrgystan. I wish some tv network like National Geographic would hire you. Imagine the ratings.
Customs: You have anything to declare?
Bald: Yes. A Soviet sink
😁😁😁
🤣🤣
SUUUUUUPER !!!!!
😂 😂 😂 I can't.
Kirghizian Customs - This is a historical artifact, You can't take it with You ....Do You have any certificate?
Bald - Yes, I have the marriage certificate ....
Dog: *approaches*
Man: It's a Soviet sink!!
Dog: *runs away*
😂
Hahahaa I noticed it too 🤣🤣🤣✌️
“Yes, exactly”
I hope this doesn’t sound weird but it’s so crazy seeing people from other parts of the world just....being people 😂
We aren’t so different after all
The only people I've ever seen as radically different were the Chinese.
@@MatthewSomethingOrOther that, I can agree with
Given their circumstances, not their fault in my opinion lol
@@NerdyNEET Can you see the Soviet "Woodpecker" (over-the-horizon) Radar Antenna from your window?
I used to listen to that on my Australian-based short-wave radio back in the Soviet Times, wondering what the heck it was . . .
I want to see the faces of security, when you declare it at an airport back to europe!
His sense of adventure is fantastic. A person like him will never get bored in life.
Nah I'm pretty sure he definitely gets bored sometimes. Yeah going to visit new beautiful places is fantastic but depending on the location and time of day or time of year, I'm pretty sure it will happen sometimes.
Boredom is the same in any language
and its so awesome that he brings us along!
Bald: "Do you live here?"
Lady: "Yes"
Bald: "What can you do here?"
Lady: "Live"
Never better said.
Way too relatable
Lol, cool

I was looking for this comment.
I was preparing a stupid joke in my head about him taking the sink as a souvenier or whatever. And then HE ACTUALLY DID!
It's not a souvenir. It's his friend.
It's Soviet. It's a sink. It's a Soviet sink. That means something.
Smell that?
*sniff*
That's Soviet stink. That's coming from the Soviet sink. That means something.
That's real. That's SOVIET.
Not some souvenir from the airport in Paris. THIS IS A SOVIET SINK!!!! That rust? That's Soviet.
That drain...that's Soviet. Soviet food and water and waste has been flushed down that hole. That hole has been filled and flushed and spilled and plugged and slushed.
All within the parameters of Soviet-era Soviet-style Sovietry.
So... Fine.
Maybe it IS a souvenir. But maybe... It's Soviet poetry. Or a poet.
What? Okay. It's a sink. It's a stinky sink. Probably not even Soviet.
@@ChubbyTeletubby that was hilarious man 😂
That tunnel led to another walk of life. I wasn’t expecting that!
Greatest non-living characters:

I'm disappointed that Jeff the Llama didn't make it on the list.
nice one !! I wish I had that comment 🙂
I've one complaint...your videos are too short! Your chats with people are so good, I wish they were longer. Those talks - especially with older people - will become documented history of Soviet times. Their children, grandchildren etc will appreciate seeing and hearing their elderly relatives.
Being interviewed by Bald and his soviet sink
I agree, !
I'd love to see longer videos. Maybe a second channel, "Bald and uncut" lol
this man really just bought a soviet sink for 1 pound and now he is taking it everywhere with him. I am impressed in a good way
Your videos are lot better then professionally made documentaries.
"A British man's slow descent into madness.."
Who said he was healty to begin with? :)
never knew that 'mad men' could be so interesting....
imagine being a simple soviet person 40 years ago using your basic sink not knowing in few decades a bald Englishman will strap it in the car and will drive around the mountains with it
Lmfao
😂😂😂
Let that sink in.
... and kiss it goodnight
Just a suggestion, would be great if at the start of your vlogs you could pop in a wee map and point out where you are in the world on your adventure. Keep up the great videos! ☺️
Next video "How I smuggled an old Soviet sink out of Kyrgyzstan!"
Replaced his women companions with a Soviet sink
The Soviet sink with a seat belt on it would be a good t shirt
That means how much she was worth.😂
Women are temporary, but soviet sink is forever
Sinks don't complain.
Reliable option!
That old rusty soviet sink’s life is more interesting and adventurous than mine will ever be 🤦♂️😁
And Heralds and Simon's
@@Skeetr86 😂😂
Wow, that sink has seen more than me in all of my 29 years of life. Who would have thought a sink out of all things.
It's funny cause you're called lampshade but please don't put yourself down like that. You never know when you can be kidnapped by a bald bankrupt man and smuggled over the border
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
I am from Kyrgyzstan and I want you to keep that sink everywhere you travel. God speed Bald! Stay well in my home country.
Mr Bald and Bankrupt taught me more about the USSR then A Level History 🤣🤣. Great content!
'It's an old Soviet sink I bought from my hotel, 100 SOM'
'I'd have given it to you for free'
'Oh! You're a good person!'
lmfao
He was bragging about the good deal he got and all proud...The guy will have paid him 100 SOM to take it 🤣
That dog was like: "Nope, no Soviet sink for me..."
Dog was like yeah nah mate, fuck this sink, gimme something to eat
@J You're right. I think the dog felt intimidated by the clearly superior pet.
For God's sake Mr Bald... Give us a video.. Any video..
Perfect duo..your really "Synced" together
The great adventures of a man and his trusty sink
His rusty sink you mean
@@markcharleswinson213 This sounds like it should be a euphemism

You're crazy, dude! That stinky sink! That dog knew what was on it.
Who else would watch live? Some live footage would be incredible. I could watch this beautiful human walk around the world all day!
Man that scenery was honestly breathtaking.
mountains are amazing... i moved to western america and every day when I drive I can't believe what I see
if you find that breathtaking look up some videos of swiss mountains :)
Didn't notice I was too busy looking at the sink
@@julixns5740 The highest peaks in Kyrgyzstan are significantly higher than those of Switzerland, and there's more scenic variety there.
Who cares about scenery when there is soviet sink
2:34 guy says "it's boiling water" in perfect English 🤓
Not entirely surprising, the road is basically a tourist route and many people stop at that very eatery before entering the mountain pass
Nice name
@@mrmarko4248 haha ! 420 ahead of you 🤣
Russian guy says "it's boiling water" in perfect english and then british guy replies in perfect russian.
That tunnel scene was cool especially with the horses in the end of the tunnel!
"the bright lights of (wherever I'm arriving)" is becoming a part of my vocabulary.
That's definitely the first time I've even seen horses herded through a mountain tunnel. Lucky you slowed down.
That was incredible, imagine the potential lawsuits in America
Alina made him choose between her and the sink.and it was a no brainer.he is happy now.
You're woefully mis-characterizing what happened: "Alina made him choose between her and the SOVIET sink . . ."
is he still with her??
@Bot Assasin I just started watching but someone wrote in a comment that he has a book out that mentions her as a girlfriend. Also, she is beautiful and goes with him on trips - do the math....was just curious if he is still with her. I am really getting into his videos. They are so good!!
When he said he was gonna tuck in the sink into bed... I didn't thought he would really literally DO it 🤣
Previous generations of my family lived in a village in Turkey. They were Russian Old Believers. Would love to see you do a segment there, but It’s probably long gone. It was near Lake Marmara, near city of Bandirma.

If you uploaded a 1 hour video just the view of driving through these mountains I'd watch it
Same here, yesterday myself and several others commented about it aswell, and he responded to that, that he would, honestly it's just beautifull the scenery there.
Yes! its like look at the top of the world...amazing to see such splendor. what a place for a battle.
8:28 "тоолордо тоодой омур бар" mean "there is a lot of life in the mountains like the mountains themselves "

The relationship between Bald and his sink reminds me of Tom Hank's relationship with the volleyball 'Wilson'. Bald and Sinky 😂

Thanks for reminding those of us who are isolating that there is still a wide, beautiful world out there full of adventure and cool people!
1:33 she whispered "запарил" which is like "I am sick of you" (sick of man shouting for cash)
right!?
as she struggles to lock tight a gate with a gaping hole
She had a rather tidy body
yes
i understand
but do you see my point,
she was working so hard to lock a gate with a hole big enough that anyone could just walk through
Or in other words 3-an-ap-n-pie
i was really hoping youd make the pun "let that sink in", whilst also bringing it into a house
Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Just found this channel a couple of days ago and can’t stop watching it !!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
