  1. Dude, you are an absolute legend, 3 minutes in and I felt like I was sitting among these ladies, laughing with them, I almost could taste the wine. What a talent. A++

  2. The pony lady also being the fire brigade and the airport groundskeeper (plus probably 5 more jobs) is so funny

  3. First chinese taxi was less than €4 , one advantage of electronic payments, it's harder to rip you off if the rates are a bit automated and standard.

  4. I like how the old soviet train conductors look at every ticket as if it is the first they have ever seen. and then they walk away with it and you wonder if you ever see it again

  5. the reason Bald has 4M subscribers is that we always get some serious background information + history lesson together with the silliness
    194
  6. yeah it was a bit misleading title
    57
  7. your english is pretty good, or did you use google translate??? (which is fine)

  8. I think he has been in enough red light districts to know that ....

  9. remember she was 91 at the time of the video. 91!!! she survived hitler, stalin, USSR, Chernobyl and the collapse of the empire. a true superwoman
    28
  10. those are even worse
    21
  11. I would die in 3 days in that madness , just from the mayhem

  12. That is the power of editing. we don't see the hours of boring driving and searching in between the social encounters
    12
  13. he went this time to the place he started his YT channel, that seems like a legit reason to revisit a place.

  14.  @JoolsUK  Even now, the BBC is still much better than any other nation's 'regular TV' You Brits don't realize how bad it is elsewhere....

  15. I would carry at least 1-2 litres of bottled water in that climate .

  16. As for the boat, it didn;t look that bad, I have been recently been on a lot of British ferries in the Canary islands (Spain, but the major ferry companies are British or Norwegian (Fred Olsen) and also to the Canal Islands next to France and in both cases the ferries are just as packed with the same type of chairs.

  17. you never need the glasses. 100% they will have them. in another video some local town drunk even conjured glasses OUT OF A TREE. yes for real. he had glasses stuck in a tree.

  18.  @brunfist  not sure if that is true, but even if it is I don't judge him. He makes wonderful heartwarming videos about ordinary people around the world

  19. I really want to learn the russian language now
    8
  20. There were like 10 hotels in that street, including some better ones, so Backpacker Ben would just move across the street if Bald would bail.. At least that is what I would have done (after paying for the room of course)

  21.  @CanariasCanariass  they know shame, but it is a very different kind of shame compared to westerners. in some ways their culture is much more based on shame than ours, but public life is not part of that, being with a bazillion people makes you get used to other people in your space
    7
  22. just the local drunk
    7
  23. @John Greek 50% those girls are venezuelan too
    7
  24.  @-Michelin  I am 36 minutes into the video, I don;t see him making a joke of the people. did you even watch it?
    7
  25.  @neiljones7137  of course not, only the 'random encounters' with other youtubers are staged. The rest is just the result of editing.. we , the viewers, only see the bits with encounters, we don;t see all the boring bits.

  26.  @joshuawilson1544  he brought the bbq with him, it was one of those instant bbq throwaway things I have used the exact same model here in the Netherlands
    6
  27. 1 man, with a driver and a mini. so actually 2 men
    6
  28. plus the people from all those outbacks got drafted in the army or education network and got sent to other areas thousands of miles away. Not always in a nice way of course, sometimes that had no say in it. But the grand effect was that learned a lot about other cultures
    6
  29.  @mikesvacation  english english is different from american english. here in europe the world traditionally describes a place were people can recover from long term illness, like tuberculosis. I thought this was the same in USA. the mental health connection might be more modern, because modern science found cures for those physical diseases , so only those mental patients remained

  30.  @conor7154  lol 5 minutes after your comment.... exactly that

  31. it was sitting on eggs

  32.  @roserevancroix2308  it's 2024... normal people DO talk (joke) that way (aka everybody younger than 30) video games went mainstream more than a decade ago. source : I am a school teacher..

  33.  @ojl5055  I had that 'problem' once... They would not take anything for a great meal for 2 and a lot of help avoiding tourist traps , so I slipped a 20 euro bill under their table cloth when my hosts weren't looking. I hope they weren't too offended when they found it (this was in a country that didn;t use euro, but local people really liked getting euros or dollars because the local currency was weak and lost value all the time)

  34. I will check out your channel , Khizer Mohajir I have never watched a travel vlog from a non western viewpoint, this could be interesting.

  35. sponsorblock auto skips those sections

  36.  @MuhammadAnwar-kq4iv  luckily I have a hack for that, I can park for free in a village near the airport and then take a €3 ($3) bus ride to the airport. That works perfectly fine if you only have one bag.

  37.  @mikesvacation  I am from mainland Europe, but I like British (it's with one 't' btw) television , hence my name on youtube

  38.  @nina-toysfun7978  why are your upset somebody criticizes something YOU are not. exploiting channels DO exist. if you are not one of those, don't feel addressed , it;s not meant at you

  39.  @dankmemes7342  the real solution is a form of socialist capitalism, like all the best nations in the world have: Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany etc.

  40. Thank you Evgeny, we know many Russians are good people, but it;s Putin and his oligarchs that control everything. I hope the Russian people can revolt once more some day and overturn them

  41. Watching him is much more comfortable than actually doing it.. Keep in mind we see only the interesting 5% of a day and not much of the tedious travelling, living on instant noodles and warm soda drinks / mineral water

  42. WE HAVE ONE of those PLANES on the roof of my apartment building! in the Netherlands! Long story short, it was put there by a group of artists, as an art project. It was an old soviet plane, I think build in 1954, that ended up in one of the Baltic states and then was bought by an collector in the Netherlands. It finally was falling apart and was about to be scrapped around the year 2000, but instead it was given to this artists club, who stripped it and restored the bodywork as well as they could and then mounted it on the roof of the building. The engine was also removed, but some of the interior still exists including old soviet instruments. You can get on the roof and get inside.

  43.  @derbigpr500  government money. Almost all countries with high standards of living and nice trains do partly subsidize those trains, because they think it is an important thing in the country that you can;t leave to the free market. Most countries have a system that is partial commercial and partial governmental The reason is simple. and the commercial operators aren't to blame. A 100% commercial train network would only keep the busy lines open, where the earnings > costs. otherwise they would go down. So they can;t keep open small lines to Bumfck, Nowhere. If you want to rural people to be able to get on a bus or train towards a bigger city, you have to subsidize that line. that is why you can get a 500 mile train journey in Sweden for that same 50 quid. with nice seats, and a restaurant
    4
  44. It's very easy, (if you speak the language) You go to a bunch of locals, like those men at the 'taxi' stand and ask: 'Hey , friends, where can we sleep?' 100% they will give plenty of options and you would have a hard time paying them, hospitality is sacred in those regions.

  45.  @NaeemAminVlogs  it's too close to Talibanstan

  46. she was very modest, 1000 is like €0,25 or $0,25

  47.  @xecor3743  there are stories on the interwebs on bald's younger days , there is even a subreddit dedicated on archiving all his juvenile faux pas.... Anyway even if some of it might be true, I don;t care, everybody deserves a second chance and today's Bald is a champion vlogger , producing high quality entertainment for millions.

  48.  @sparrow_r3364  usually they can keep all the columns, ceilings and staircaises etc original. Most of the woodwork . In general it looked to be in great condition. some floors might be restorable too. I lived in a shabby old chateau for a while before it was restored. When I visited it again a few years later it was hard to believe that so much had been kept original
    3
  49.  @mAnojkumAr___7416  No it's not.... Russians just have to stop following neofacist despots like Putin and become a democracy.. and JOIN NATO themselves! Then the Russian people can finally be free from a century of oppression and live together with all other nations in the world and prosper. If EVERYBODY in the world rallies against you except 3 other outcast states, maybe it;s time to look in the mirror and realize you are the problem yourself.

  50. I didn't know that he lived here at some point, has he ever done B&B vlogs here? or are we too organized and wealthy for chaotic traveling, also severe lack of soviet mosaics
    3
  51. they are a disaster for me, I have bought more vodka in the past 2 weeks than in the 20 years before. all because of this channel. (3 bottles so far) But I make mixed drinks with them, don;t drink it pure that much.

  52. that behaviour is not slavic but universal. I have seen plenty of those in the West
    3
  53. last vid on Daily bald is from 7 months ago and it looks like it has only a few before that? is it a dead channel?
    3
  54. yeah, so far I have only watched his former USSR travels, somehow I have zero interest in other parts of the world he has been to
    3
  55.  @TheDude1980  of course it is, he doesn;t walk around randomly but finds the most run down streets. I checked Plymouth on google streetview, 95% of the town looks ok sure it ain't bevery hills, but's ok. there are still plenty 46,000 pubs. sure this used to be 60,000 , so many closed , but every village still has one or more
    3
  56.  @trapbandicoot7877  I know how you feel.. I could travel with an Ukrainian girl about 10 years ago, sadly I wasn't in the financial situation to make it happen, one of my biggest regrets. I am very open to new cultures and not afraid of strangers at all and good at making contact, but without any skill in Russian it's too difficult for me. I should have tried harder to make it happen.

  60. It is indeed uplifting and wholesome. The past is the past and criminals who served their time in prison deserve another chance, that is the whole idea behind the penitentiary detention system. Especially 30 years later. Otherwise we should just shoot every criminal dead and be done. But nobody in the civilized world thinks that that is a good idea. I didn't get the idea in this video that the people involved glorify their criminal past and they live in an ordinary low-middleclass apartment so I also don;t have the idea he is sitting on heaps of hot money from the past.

  61.  @stormtrooper1823  or you could educate yourself instead of going on gut feelings.....

  62.  @Carpediem617  a person who travels to a foreign place to have sex ( with prostitutes usually)
    2
  63.  @nLocky  normally I would feel sorry for that person, but I think they can monetize it someway, being the unique one and get a good future out of it.

  64. dammit, I was already planning to go to Romania / Bulgaria but now I have to go this year

  67.  @ener8035  Can you write your question again, but this time in a way we can understand what you are trying to ask? Not to mock you, it's just that your current question doesn't mean anything.

  68.  @83ivanf  it would be quite clean actually. you don't understand anything about chemistry if you think it was dirty. It would only be dirty if some passing beast would have urinated on it quite recently but that is a very LOW chance.

  69. women are the true strong sex

  70. I don't think you are allowed to film your arrest, and any footage on any equipment will be erased, you will be lucky if you get your physical stuff back once you are released , but you can say goodbye to any data

  73. I was hoping it would be Omsk, but Tomsk is nice too

  74. I once had a chance to maybe travel in formal USSR with a girl from Ukraine, I didn't take it. big mistake. she was fluent in Russian and I can't say more than 10 words so I can never go alone.

  86. that is just for the drama effect , there is probably a way to get there by car. after all its illogical for those people to live 15 km from a track. Even if they don;t have a car they have a wheelcart, maybe a horse. and they need to get to the shop too even if its a only once a month or so to get some things that don;t grow in the fields or forests. when you enter their house you see a well used dirt road. I bet you could find a way to get their with a vehicle

  87.  @wtcnl  yeah, that was my first thought too, there is probably a way to get there by car. after all its illogical for those people to live 15 km from a track.

  111.  @ljmthecyclist3257  of course they did, that's the way they roll and I don;t blame them . look, don;t be naive. my uncle has been working in Africa for 35 years, always on development projects, schools, hospitals all the goods. Even on the most pristine projects you have to accept that some money disappears otherwise you never get ANYTHING done. In the end it's still a win for the local people when something good happens.

  118.  @Kamaero  but he didn;t want to follow the normal joining procedure .. The Labour peer recalled an early meeting with Putin, who became Russian president in 2000. “Putin said: ‘When are you going to invite us to join Nato?’ And [Robertson] said: ‘Well, we don’t invite people to join Nato, they apply to join Nato.’ And he said: ‘Well, we’re not standing in line with a lot of countries that don’t matter.’”
    1
  119.  @Kamaero  he should put aside his little ego and be a leader for his people. instead he betrayed them and sided with the robber barons (oligarchs) that stole a trillion euros from the people and moved it to London, Switzerland and Dubai and he became one of them, just top mafia boss. despicable cretin , and that is how history will look at him, with his latest actions applied for the 'status' of Stalin, Hitler, Mao etc

I haven't bought a bottle of strong alcohol in weeks, just something different. one bottle of limoncello that I mixed with tonic. I drink more tea, water, milk and fruit juice. And I can't gather with friends, we are still in lockdown here. Only 1 friend allowed and with a friend I would probably drink more alcohol than alone.

  147.  @hoixthegreat8359  All you say is true, but a better government could still use those areas, by making special advantages for industries that don't have location requirements to settle there, or by moving government business to more remote locations, increasing the workforce. This has worked in my country, when the textile industries died because everything was being made in bangladesh and vietnam, new IT and electronic industries got there instead, with tax cuts or other benefits to make it worthwhile for those companies to make that move.
