hi my name is Anna Markarova welcome back to my channel after exploring beautiful country
armenia i took a flight from yerevan to osh kyrgyzstan i spent three days in osh
and then crossed the land border with uzbekistan first time i heard the name osh is when i booked
the flight so let's explore together what is osh and what is kyrgyzstan let's begin the adventure
we just arrived in kyrgyzstan in a city called osh what we could learn for now about this country
first of all it's a muslim country second passport control really surprised us first entered the hall
which is empty there were no officers no one the woman entered the hall and said that there
is a vip hole that works fast no queue we can pay and go there then nobody went and after like 20
minutes later they invited everyone to proceed to the vip hall so that was like a strategy planned
to make people pay for the passport control what else about this country jesse the taxes if you
live here to city center 300 is the maximum you should pay they ask for a thousand but
maximum 300 and if you use yandex go or any other app that you could find in my court
yen next go is like around 200. osh is a very historical city the history is more than 3 000
years in the center of this city there is a road which is famous
as the silky road when china was transporting silk to other countries in central asia the
flag of this country is a sun with 40 sunshines which represent 40 tribes of the country that were
united together and made Kyrgyzstan we are now on the field look at this
beautiful view the mountain and we were just invited to join to play football with a local team
you know belgium is like the best um national team right now and they ask you to play football
and then you will scale and then they block now belgium's can't play football
we're going further on our exploration of the city when our couchsurfing friend picked us up
he said have you seen anything in the city yet we said yeah we seen the square with lennon so
behind me there is a statue of lenin so far that's the biggest and the biggest monument in the city
and it's in the city center which represents the soviet union times and all the architecture around
also solid or post-soviet times the city oh i can i can honestly tell you it's
a bit boring there is not much to do there is just one park behind lenin
and this is the central square we said yeah we seen the square with lenin he said well
there is nothing else to see it's actually a very boring city but with the great people
the price is 20 each that's where we're going i have no idea where
arriving in norse was a unique experience it feels like everyone has left at footprints and ocean
but nobody really bothered changing it you feel the muslim and turkish origin
mixed together with ironic mongolian and russian cultures sometimes i feel like i'm back in soviet
union until i came across mana statue kyrgyz hero who united 40 tribes together and built kyrgyzstan
everything feels a bit out of place in osh but that is what makes us so beautiful and special and
there is a mountain in the city center which we're gonna explore i think it's just too hot to climb
to the top of a mountain right now behind me there is a suleiman mountain and here is a city osh
now we're trying to go to the top of a mountain there is also a museum right in the mountain
i'm very curious to explore that area and we could see a little bit more of the city today it's
actually pretty and i really like that there is a whole mountain in the city center it's very pretty
right behind me there is a mosque
of a suleiman mountain and in front of the mosque there is a cemetery and they build it in the city
center so people don't forget that they will all die one day and don't become arrogant
and enjoy their life as long as they can and we're almost at the top of the mountain let's go
we made it to the top of the mountain it's an amazing view to the whole city right here
and there is a beautiful flag of kyrgyzstan right above us and this is our last day here
tonight we're gonna cross the border with uzbekistan i want to say thank you to all
the beautiful people of kyrgyzstan maybe there is not much to do in us but the most valuable
thing here are people because they are just amazing very hospitable kind and nice and
if you come to osh i recommend you to climb this mountain in the evening not at the hottest
time of the day because it's it's very very hot during the summer here and the sun is very bright
we are lucky we entered this museum it's right in a cave of the mountain and there are all kind
of different stones which the ancient kyrgyz people used to use to create the furniture
and all kinds of things the way ancient kirk is used to treat depression they would be locked for
40 days in a cage like this behind the thick wall thick door made of stone that you cannot open for
40 days with no food only water and they believe that that way you would clean out of all the
bad souls all bad energy but basically what they did they put you in the worst
depression for 40 days and when you come out of there everything is a blessing and
depression is treated that was actually a pretty rough way to treat depression but it worked it
is quite funny right when we entered the museums all the political people mayors i don't know who
but people with extra security the army was here too so we visited with them the museum
yeah we were we were the only visitors except the whole polish politic delegation there
and we were like in our nice travel clothes and they're all
fancy in suits and now right here like all these security big black cars
and police kyrgyzstan thank you
this is how kyrgyz some look like you do hungry very colorful yellow blue red
so we just crossed the border of kyrgyzstan and uzbekistan
so far this was the smoothest border crossing i ever had in my life when they saw were tourists
they just let us go first without any queue they stamp in a second and uh yeah we just went through
so far internet uh is more expensive in kyrgyzstan it was three euro unlimited four months and here
it's a 15 euro unlimited four months now we're going to take this bus this bus to adidjan
we are tired what we made
look at this okay we're
have you here seen a pokemon grenade tree we just accidentally stumbled on one look
it looks fake but it's real
so beautiful
so right behind right behind me there is a mountain that was built by turkish people if i'm
not wrong oh no the white one was good when people felt depressed in the cages like this behind the
