    We came to a country that not many people know about, a landlocked country tucked away deep in central Asia. That country is Tajikistan! With not many videos about this unknown country I thought it'll be best to come here and see what it's really like. Let me tell you, I am very surprised not many are coming here! This could be one of my favourite countries so far, welcome to Tajikistan! 🇹🇯

    Ben, the white colorful hat you were wearing is women's hat. That's why the older gentleman in the market took it and placed on Kat's head. Even when you originally bought it the sellers thought you were buying it for her. The black hat the older gentleman recommended was men's hat. He knew you had made a harmless mistake without knowing it and he tried to correct it.

      I live and work in Portugal and have noticed that a lot of Portuguese speak English with a distinct British twang. Possibly because many Portuguese go to Britain to work and the two nations have many historical ties, starting in 1386, with the treaty of Windsor.

      Iskandarkul, which means Alexander's lake. The lake was named after Alexander the Great. There are two legends which connects Alexander the Great. One is it used be shelter for inhabitants of Sogdiana, which resisted Alexander's rule. Second, it's where Alexander's horse(Bucephalas) had drowned in the lake.
