  • 🇦🇲With my flight out of Armenia cancelled and finding myself with an unexpected extra few hours left in the city of Yerevan I jumped in a taxi and headed to the centre to look at some sights and try some local wine and food...I kind of wish I skipped the food part!

    The second part of the story abt Churchill and Stalin involving the brandy (coniac) „Ararat” is:
    Churchill noticed that the brandy he used to receive from Stalin gradually was getting worse and worse. So, he found out that the chief of the factory that produce the brandy has been sent to gulag (soviet labour camps in Siberia). So Churchill wrote Stalin and asked to restore the old chief to the factory so he could get the old good taste of his favorite brandy. Stalin recalled that man and put him back to the leadership of the factory. Since then everybody was happy and the chief of the factory even got a medal from Stalin. Thats what legends say... ))

    Hey Bald. I was wondering when you visit the stans. We're Soviet too, well used to be. You can find a lot of Soviet stuff there too. I'm from Uzbekistan. We have lots of abandoned buildings and bad roads that we need you to show to the world so that the corrupt government can do something about it. The system is still Soviet. You can bribe officials or anyone to do something. You'll find a lot of rich people who will be willing to show you around but don't accept their invitations. Just do your thing. That's what we love. They don't show you what they don't want the world to see. The stans for those who don't know: Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan. The stan means "the people of" some say it means land.

To some viewers it's so simple, nothing special, just a throwaway question. But it's so brilliant as an insight into the culture, it keeps people engaged, and as viewers it's a genuinely interesting question to which we're eager to hear the answer. What a seriously fantastic channel this is- we're all better off with it and I hope you (B&B) understand that your adventures have hit on something of interest and value to this bizarre culture that is humanity.
