With all the asmr artists with big budget productions this channel is still the best, simple straightforward and to the point. Works for me. I am a shift worker and I need sleep.
Wow, thank you! I definitely decided to do the "plain and simple" approach on purpose. It is less flashy, but it is how I personally enjoy ASMR, so I really appreciate this comment - thanks!
My firsthand experience of that part of the World goes a little something like, "Oh yes, they say that this is the border here on the map, but the locals consider the border to be the river, so avoid mentioning it when you cross the river." Which is how you end up in two countries at once - depending on if you're talking to a state official or the 70-odd year old elder of the village or district (who happens to think you really look like you're Soviet and he thought they got rid of you a long time ago). For reference, this is Northeastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border and things are very loose there. For political expediency the District center was Afghan, but the locals didn't really have a national identity as such. Especially considering how frequently the central government changed hands. I have also been to Kyrgystan, and if there is such a thing as ethic gradation it exists in that place. You see some people who are simultaneously Slavic and East Asian. Once you've been around the different groups it becomes quite easy to spot the differences, and you gain an understanding of how they think and feel about the world. A Tajik is a Tajik and not an Uzbek who is not Pashtun or Turkmen and it transcends language (though that's a bit of a giveaway). These border inconsistencies land sometimes vast difference in language and culture lead to a lot of regional friction - to say nothing of consistent foreign intervention and influence peddling muddying the waters even further.
Thank you for acknowledging Artsakh’s name. It is so often called Nagorno Karabakh but it is the Republic of Artsakh. The history of azerbaijani and armenian relations is deeply complicated but i think you did a pretty good job explaining it.
Newfoundland is pronounced more like Newfuhndluhnd. But I must say your pronunciation of a lot of the other places are so good! Part of why I love watching your channel. Definitely looking forward to a pt 3 for this book.
I just want to say, I'm going through a lot of social trouble and personal turmoil and your videos have been a comfort in the shadows if I am to be poetic. Your videos are so entertaining, educational, and posses this ability to ease any struggles I'm having. Your videos help me relax after the days I really wasn't too sure I'd make it through. Thank you, from the very depths of my heart, thank you so much. Have a beautiful day!
Armenia and Azerbaijan conflict has been teasing the caucasias peace and turkiye for quite some time and is a rather controversial topic to go in, i am quite impressed you go through all this politic bs just to make people you never see or know relax.

Your pronunciation of the country names is so good! Have you visited any of them?
No, but I have studied Kazakh and Uzbek previously - thank you!
Awesome! Part 2. I need this book. Especially the Vennbahn (Germany/Belgium) and Baarle-Nassau/Baarle-Hertog (NL/BE) is very interesting
That book looks awesome. The first countries that came to mind when i saw it was Senegal/Gambia
The best ASMR videos. Love history and geography, learn about different countries and relax how awesome! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this comment!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, your whisper is superb!
Thank you!
Lovely video. I'll look into purchasing this book. Thank you from Bulgaria!

Awesome comment, thanks so much!
Found your channel from part 3. This is fantastic. Very glad I found this channel.
Awesome, thank you!
thanks as always, will be getting this book!
Hope you enjoy it!

You know you’ve got someone a good gift when you want it too 🥰
Didn’t know enough about this situation. Thanks
Very interesting and relaxating! Thank you!

Such an amazing comment - thank you! Stay strong!
Great video, maybe looking at historical flags would be a decent video idea?
I’ll wait for part three❤
Top notch, as always
Part 3 next! Love these 🤭
You got it!
@@WelshASMR82Maps Yay!
By the way, did you know there's an 'Atlas of unusual languages' in the same book collection?
Your reading voice 🎧😌❤
Unfortunately Azerbaijan has more support because of their gas reserves, while Armenia has almost no cards to play.
"hit the hell out of that like button"
my honest reaction: 😮
That’s a cool book
I find the wording in your book misleading (Central Asia). The USSR dissolved, yes, but it was not a nation, but a state or country.

Nice
Part 3😀
i was hatched in 1982 as well 🐣
The best were
do u like f1
When I was a kid I did, but not anymore :(
Judging by your pronunciation of those country names... are you per chance Dutch?
The channel literally says Welsh
Hehehe
I'm from Wales! But I loooove the Netherlands, so I think that's a huge compliment
