Tashkent to Bishkek (We found the worst toilet on Earth...) 🇺🇿🇰🇬

- The journey from Tashkent to Bishkek via Osh is nearly a 1,000 miles (1,100kms) on mountain roads, using Marshrutkas, shared taxis and Soviet trains. We attempted this journey over two days and of course, managed to pick the two worst days in terms of weather. We hit the first snow of the season in the Ala-Too mountains of Kyrgyzstan. In other news, along the way, high up in the mountain passes we came across arguably the worst toilet on earth, certainly that we've seen! This was an incredibly long two days, but with Kazakhstan closed (the easier route) and flight prices through the move, it was our only option! Thank you for the incredible memories Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 but back to Bishkek we go! 🇰🇬

You travel in ways and to places I would never be brave enough to do which is why I love your videos.
Thank you so much Wendy! So glad to have you along with us!! 🥰❤️
Me too. This comment is from a “Hindu” man whose name is Gautam Tolat.
5000 soms is $60 if its kyrgyz som 😜😜😜😜
but 5000 uzbek soms super cheap 🤣
@@TheManuel012009 Your comments are crap; they don’t communicate the message you want to, to the reader. This comment is from a “Hindu” man whose name is Gautam Tolat.
I am absolutely in love with the two of you. You are the best travelers and keep me laughing. The mountains are so beautiful. You never know what you will see or the people you will meet. It’s so very interesting. I remember the woman asking why you wee so much. Hysterical. The animals you encounter along the road awesome. You put your life in others peoples hands which is very scary. But so far you’ve survived. 😂❤️. I so enjoy your travels. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. You both are fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️Stay safe.
Thank you so much Cheryl! So happy to have you along with us for the ride!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Have you ever thought about organizing small groups of folks to tour with you? You are both so competent in traveling!
Funnily enough we actually have! But we always thought that nobody would be interested in travelling with us, thank you so much for proving us otherwise Cindy 🥰❤️
@@MattandJulia Cindy is not the only one! 😉 would join in a minute!
…well, after having my baby, that is 😄
What gorgeous mountain 🏔 scenery ♥️
It was just breathtaking, such a shame the skies weren't clearer ❤️
Matt and Julia, you are truly the best at what you do. You are storytellers, whether it's a cab ride, a dirty toilet or a snow covered sketchy road. You have an engaging story to tell in you wonderful vlogs. We echo the sentiments of the previous commenter. We would travel with you in a heartbeat. Organizing small groups, A great idea. Sending you lots of love💖💖 Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.
Thank you so much guys! We really appreciate it! 🥰❤️
And that really means so much, we truly thought nobody would travel with us, so to know that people would, we would definitely like to arrange something 🙏🏻🥰❤️
@@MattandJulia Leading group tours would definitely be a lucrative option for you folks if you were willing.
Julia had the right idea to sleep through the scary mountain drive. 😱💤 I have come to the realization that the two of are able to cope with the weird situations that you encounter because you both have such a great sense of humor! 👍🤣. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding weekend.
Haha, we have come to the conclusion that you definitely need; a good sense of humour, a relaxed outlook on life and the ability to sleep anywhere 😂
Thanks a lot for showing us all about your journey and travel. We are grateful to you.
Thank you so much Prabhat! Really happy to have you along with us! ❤️
Thank you for your exciting and amazing videos. I like the way you tell your story on every video. Loved the gorgeous mountain views on your journeys. Safe travels and thank you again.
You two are amazing and very brave. Love your videos and sharing your adventures!
You both are so fortunate to speak the language.
Very difficult but still doable without knowing Russian, but definitely makes life a lot easier for sure 😀
Thank you both so much for your exciting and amazing videos. I always look forward to the next one showing. Please do some foodie ones, just love the different mels you both try. Have really good chill out after that long long drive.Those men doing that journey are amazing too. I've only done 340 mile drive,which when I got to my destination was glad it had come to an end. Stay safe and thank you again.
There may well be our biggest food video yet coming up verrrry soon 😲😉
It is an incredibly tough job, those guys are incredibly tough! ❤️
Watching this reminds me of how I used to travel. It also reminds me how I sometimes just prefer to upgrade for a more relaxing route.
Your videos always show the untouched beauty of the world! Hope these places can get more tourists over the years to help the economies. Seems like money is needed for the infrastructure.
Keep up the good work as always!
Thank you so much! We do too, Kyrgyzstan especially feels like it has sooo much untapped tourism potential!! ❤️
Oh, I love your channel and look forward to new videos!
Thank you so much Leigh! 🥰❤️
I've got so many of your videos to catch up on! I will have to watch them all in a row in my next day off. 👀❤️
We will hold you to that one Luna 😉😀❤️
@@MattandJulia HAHA 🤣
Nice place.
I love it.
Thanks for sharing with us
OMG what a journey !! Iam glad you got home safely 😘 you're brave
Thank you so much Katerina! ❤️
I have a lot respect that you said "rahmat"
Whew...that was scary to watch that road. Safe travels.
Thank you so much Pat 🥰❤️
Once again, like it was when you did this trip in reverse a few videos ago, it is incredible how cheap such a long trip was considering the cost of petrol, the vehicle and whatever little is left over to pay the guy for his time. Bleak looking countryside, too! Thanks again for the great insights about a part of the world most people have never even heard of, let alone get to visit.
For sure, these guys are working incredibly hard for their money!
So glad to have you along with us! 🥰
good musical accompaniment👍👌
It's the ginge Matt to be sure,to be sure those Irish eyes are smiling!.😃
Sending positive Irish vibes to you both at the border!
I love your vlogs the visuals and the music really takes you there!
Haha, I'm sure I must have had Irish blood somewhere 😀 Thank you so much Nick! ❤️
Wow awesome
Interesting travel experience
That’s for sure 😊
The "worst toilet on Earth" may well be clickbait, but man did you deliver on that promise!! 😖🙊🤢 Hahaha! Those images stimulated all my senses in the worst possible way, stuff that nightmares are made of! 🙄😁😁 Grim and bleak journey, but you managed to keep me intrigued right through it all. Really enjoyed making the long trip with you. At least your driver seemed more healthy than your previous trip in the opposite direction. Thanks for sharing and keep on having fun (most of the time!) ❤❤
The Fall is a great time of year to visit the southern part of Central Asia!
To be true , Im not well acquainted too of countries in Europe , Central Asia & Russia. Slowly Im learning which is which thru travel vloggers journey. Learning & enjoying at the same time. Tnks Julia & Matt!!!
You are so welcome Margarita! So glad to have you along with us! ❤️🥰
At 17:55 there was a string of horses seemingly just out for a stroll. Is this normal? I used to dream of being free to travel the world and to roll with the punches. No way that could happen now mostly due to lack of patience. Keep roaming together, the education you will be able to pass to a future family is priceless.
I went to a similar toilet in Zaporizhzia. But the bus station in Mumbai is easily the worst toilet I have ever been to not far behind the toilet on the ferry to Morocco from Spain. Fantastic video. The landscapes are incredible
Oh wow! I could imagine these could be definite contenders! 😂
@@MattandJulia thank you for your reply. You are such a lovely couple. And truly an inspiration at a time when many of the societies of the world are imploding. My daughter travelled round the world just before this covid madness started. She had such an inspirational time. The fact you are doing now is amazing. I’m on a plane a few times a month so I know it’s not easy. But with fortitude it’s not that difficult either. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your vlogs.
Very classic indeed.
😁😁😁
Glad you made it safely. I’ve seen the Russian dash cam videos of winter accidents and was a bit worried…
Oooh us too! It seems every 'crash' program around the world is filled with 90% Russian dash cams!
Cant get any far out places to visit playing it cool eh xx
Too hair raising for me ! scary ... Hats off to you guys for your courage to enter these kinds of places
What was that another white knuckle ride Matt same going. Was it nice to be home sweet home. Lovely snow scenery 10 foot visibility not much, need a man with the red flag as in olden days long before I was born. Take care thank you for taking us along. 👍👍🥂
Oooh, those red flags would have helpful on those hairpin turns for sure 😀😂
❤️ ❤️
14:41 the toilet, it's just like my schools toilet back in 2005
💖
👏🏻👏🏻
I admire you both so much. On another note, I am afraid I have encountered worse toilets
Haha, Ooooh please share! Whereabouts??
Playing Top Trumps with the Worst Toilet is always fun. Mine was at a remote pub in the north Yorkshire moors. The loo was a whitewashed wall about 30m from the back door of the pub. No lights but we were told go go on the other side. So we did. And when we were in full flow, a (rare) car arrived and there we were silhouetted against the wall. And 50 shades of yellow. I think you win though :)
Hahahaha, now that, is a contender for sure! 😂
Wow what a journey! That toilet 🤣 I don’t think so lol
😂😂😂
Oh come now comrades . You Chose a wild area .
Hallo. I have a Q in the border of kyrgezstan they dosnt need PCR TEST??
PSHAW-I almost used a latrine in Pokhara but the flies around it drove me back.
Hahaha, that could be the winner to be fair 😅
@@MattandJulia There was a woman on the path
that said she was rating the worst WC's and there were worse.
What was the ticket price Tashkent to Bishkek ?
You are right! That is a bad toilet. 💘
Haha, it was an 'experience' to say the least ❤️
guys what city do you like in central asia?
have you been to bukhara?
in 2007 I had a whirlwind tour of quite a few countries in just a few weeks. Included were South Korea, Japan, Guam, Crete, Israel, Iceland, England, France, Germany, Alaska USA and a number of other states in USA. I found some of the common experiences quite fascinating, and even a little disturbing. Every location had street markets, in them were bright shiny things of little value, amazing food and food aromas, disgusting toilets and crazy people (really disconnected, schizophrenic types - while not dangerous though). I also discovered that every time I heard or experienced very loud people (especially kids) they turned out to be from USA. I decided to change my estimation of culture and national accomplishments for nations from: art, music, architecture to something more basic - toilet accommodations. Korea had the most diverse from really bad to really great. Japan ;had the best and of the western nations, France was the most disgusting. The middle east was..... different. Dont tout your great culture, show me your bathrooms and I will tell you where you sit on the scale of accomplishments!
Guys you're really brave!!!👏👏👏 Also you have a great Russian 👍 👍👍How long are you traveling in Russian and other repubics?
How do you get the money to travel like this?
How come the car is right hand drive, is it imported or something?
Lots of Japanese imports in Kyrgyzstan ❤️
@@MattandJulia I thought that must’ve been the case, great video btw! Your Central Asia videos have been great in helping me plan my Central Asia trip for later this year! Also you’re welcome back in Orebić 🇭🇷 anytime, my family is from there so I spend all my summers there!!
rough area...
It is a beautiful area, just needs more investment unfortunately 🙏🏻
How many languages do you speak?
I was amused .
Cheers Wayne! ❤️
Yas in Kyrgyzstan toilet like public and if you are traveling and out side from bishek its big problem
Please come India
Matt, i think u seemd a bit to gingery to the border guy not to be from Ireland, and Julia now we know why they pee not as often as u. If i wuld hafe to go in simular toilet, i wuld go once a week .
PLS never stop what youre douing , youre great at it !!!
Hahaha, he just couldn't understand how a ginger person couldn't be from Ireland! 😂 And to be honest I alwuas used to hold my pee so I don't have to go in these toilets but now I have given up 😁
Thank you so much Duke! ❤️
You've obviously never been to a gas station toilet in rural Alabama, USA. That was simply p-Osh!
I had sort of imagined that these places you're touring are somehow "exotic, remote, isolated, backwards, and, or a paradise". Instead, in viewing your travel videos, they are more or less the same as the US in terms of basic infrastructure, roads, cars, hotel rooms, shops, apps. On the flip-side, there are many parts of the US where I would not want to set foot in, or feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
For sure, the infrastructure in many ex USSR countries is very good. Unfortunately a lot of it hasn't been updated in many years due to economic issues but the base infrastructure is there 😊
Stay safe out there you two. Peace from the United States of America 🙏✌️
Thank you so much 🤗❤️
Left Hand Toyota
Lots of Japanese made 'left hand drive' cars throughout the former USSR 😊
Terus tetap menulusuri cntry kistan

nice bro woching phelipenes bro
Thank you so much! Can't wait to visit the Philippines! ❤️
wow weit fur yuo in philepines idol
You think this toilet was bad, then you have not see the former SSSR toilet in Moskva or Leningrad...
Haha, I guess fairly similar 🙃
£7 is nothing.
I've seen worse wc
Yep, that was definately the worst toilet in the world. Lol
Hahaha, we've had some close 2nds 😂
dibest ur vidio bro
Thank you Meldhard ❤️
"The worst toilet on earth"... now that's just blatant clickbait.. you know we can't resist that. Always love border crossing and rip-off, possibly drunk cabbie videos, it's the nuts and bolts of travel!
Haha, for sure, it was a pretty bad 'bog' though 😉
