Good to see Gabriel getting more comfortable with the logistics. Almaty looks interesting and the surroundings should be even more fun.
Hi Gabriel, I am enjoying your visit to Kazakhstan. Almaty is easy to get around and explore. Very clean and has lots of parks. I look forward to the rest of your videos tomorrow. Take care and keep enjoying your visit. Greetings from Australia
I never thought I would see The Beatles statues in Kazakhstan....nice find..nice city. Cheers
Neither I thought that I would find The Beatles Museum in Eger, Hungary, but I did. :)
You will soon hit 600.000 bro! Keep going! 👍💫
This was a really nice amusement park.............those colorful birds were amazing Thank you Gabe
Gabriel. Good evening from Cornwall UK.
Thank you for this film of Almaty Kazakhstan. Wonderful to see how great you are doing. It's a nice place! Good food. Sunshine. You took care of the Taxi scam:)
Good health Gabriel.
Craig.
Almaty is coming together as quite an interesting city, although that bathroom. 😂 Much nicer where you are staying now. Lovely you are getting great service from the hotel, makes the stay even better. The cable car looks like a popular attraction and the view from the top is amazing. Great video 😊
That bird looks like he is about to make Kazakhstan great again!
Nice amusement on the top of the hill. The ride that you saw from cable car (that went down on the hill to the city on a track), was a summer toboggan (or someone would say summer luge, mountain coaster, Alpine coaster); this is something very popular in the European Alpine regions in last years (especially Germany, Austria, Slovenia, for instance in Bled, Maribor and Rogla in Slovenia where I rode that) and it seems that it came to Kazakhstan, too, interesting. It differs from amusement park rides that you alone can control the speed of the ride and not someone else or computer.
I like when you talk to the locals, so nice you meet people all over the world🌞
That was great fun. Lovely birds, so unusual. I enjoy just coming along and listening to your great speaking voice. You are a very young 51 in great shape from all that walking, healthy diet and the most positive attitude.😊❤
Hi Gabe, great video, thank you for shearing. We are waiting next video. Chaos
Those bathroom pictures were too funny 😁 nice afternoon in that place , waiting for the next video 🎥
Hey bud ,I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for introducing me that mesmerizing music in the beginning of the video . I am grateful eternally. May God and angels watch over you awesome man .
Yes, nice looking and clean city ,what i can see from your videos.
Gabriel , Glad you decided to spend some time in this town . The animal park was very nice .
Most places you travel in the former Soviet Union, including KAZ, have shifty taxi drivers staking out clueless foreigners at airports. Even the 'legitimate' taxi drivers in the legitimate taxi lines at the airport can mess with you. It is advisable to make arrangements for your airport transfers with your hotel, your business (if you are there on business), or friends (if you have made friends you can trust there to help you). In the 90s, they actually had taxi drivers kidnap you and take you out to the middle of the Steppe. The 90s was very rough there. Now, they just steal your stuff or force you to fork over a ridiculous amount of money.
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to what you will find out on a day tour.
The Wall Pics of Girls in the men’s bathroom with the tape measure too Funny 👍😂, Watching from Atlanta
Having llived in KAZ for 8 years, I highly advise against renting a car to drive outside of the city. Getting gas, emergency service, repairs - you do not want to deal with that. Either join a reputable travel agency tour for trips to out of the way places - OR simply get on a train and go Astana. You'll see a lot of the country. Kazakhs under 40 speak Kazakh, English, and Russian. It's part of the school curriculum. You can take a taxi to METEO, the skating rink about Almaty. You can stay in a mountain resort hotel - Lesnaya Skazka. In general, you can just wander around Almaty and enjoy the warm weather. By November 15, there will for sure be snow there.
That was exactly my concern, decided to take a day tour instead, which was perfect.
Lots of interesting things to see there!
Centralasia is the best part of world this moment, amazing and peacefull❤❤
Frankly, there's not much between the cities of Kazakhstan. Mostly Steppe and small villages. Charyn Canyon (long day trip or you can overnight in the canyon) and surrounding lakes are of interest.
Thank you for showing us this part of the world.Dont think I'll ever go but thanks for doing that for us.
Great story about Paul Pena in the previous video. Pretty much an unknown unless you're a music insider.
Hey man, I live in Astana. Been watching your videos for years. You’ve probably been and gone already (I assume there’s a delay in editing and posting) but let me know if you’d like to meet up if you’re coming up here. I’ll buy you a beer.
I'm still in Almaty but flying to another country in a few days, won't make it to Astana. Thanks for watching. ✌️
Gabriel high roller traveler mode
Hi Gabriel, your English language is helpful & easy to understand.
Gabe - I've seen quite a few of your video room tours over the years; just curious, how often have you turned on those TVs mounted on the walls?
Never, can't remember the last time I watched TV in a hotel room.
Enjoy your tour tomorrow, 20 dollars for a day, wow that’s cheap, I would certainly be nervous renting a car in Kazakhstan
That bird with the scarlet red breast and gold and black feathers on its head (looked like some head dress worn in ancient Egypt) was amazing, wish I knew the name of it.
It was beautiful, shame it’s in a cage on a concrete floor.
@@markclayton626 totally agree, bird prison.
It's a golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus)
How nice you gave the street singer and guitar player money❤🌞
Great video...Nice to see Kazakhstan up close and personal...Thank you.
Thank you for this beautiful video. Almaty confirm the impression of a nice, clean and green city. The park on the top is agreable with the amusement facilities. Kazahstan is a big country offering some places of interest. The capital of Astana is an "economic wonder". The Balhash lake and the Caspian Sea with two big cities Aktau and Atirau. I agree with you that the journey in this huge country is connected with stress. I think you have made a good choice staying at Almaty - the biggest city in the country and its former capital.
You need a ride to the loading platform in that first metro station.
Very nice.
Hi Gabriel, it looks like you're settling in, and the adventures are starting to open on the possibilities the trip to the zoo park was incredible the obstacle course was fantastic a clever way of building confidence in young kids something you would see in corporate confidence among employees or military boot camp and rock climbing so California and nobody challenging it. I thought this was going to be a short stay, but something is telling me you are starting to enjoy the ambiance with other things in mind to experience while you're there. I'm hoping you have a guide like in Baku wonderful person who took care of you while you were there, he really went out of his way.
A blessed Good day Sir Gabe Wowww Nice Wonderful Amusement Park On The Top Perfect destinations for the Family thank u so much for your wonderful walk around tour video in Kazakhstan Stay safe Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭🙏🙂♥️
😂😂what's the meaning of the girls' photos in the toilets?? beautiful city, easy going ambience✨✌
great video, as usual 🤙🏻
just curious, man: have you ever considered filming hotel reviews? ever green content, always searchable, could bring in quite a few bucks/ views etc. or too busy schedule to do a full proper review?
anyways, bets of luck, can't wait to see your next video. cheers
46 degrees in New York, looks much warmer there
Fun to see you in kazakhstan. it would probly be hard or close to impossible . but id love to see you go to china. i feel like its an untapped market in the youtube travel space
Hey Gabe
Will you meet up and do a video with Noel Phillips? He did a video from Astana to Almaty recently. He may still be there in Almaty
I was about to type you missed thr beatles statue until right at the end. Its so random when I asked locals Beatles had never been to Kazakhstan but apparently when they asked who did they want thats what the Kazakhs voted for
Gabe love the video. Creeping as close to the bear as you can
So, 3 day trips for the price of one airport taxi ? 😅
Dude is 51... was thinking 44
One thing thats always impressive in former Soviet cities and thats their metro systems. They look like a lot of care and pride went in to them and are cheap, clean and trains run frequent.
The Moscow metro wasn’t called “the people’s Museum” for nothing.
A lot of money went into them. And most of it was stolen. In this very Almaty metro began to be built in 1988, and a measly seven stations opened only at the end of 2011! Construction was accompanied by corruption scandals, the last of which (the theft of five billion tenge) dates back to August of this year. And this is just the little that has come to light. My friend, a third world garbage dump is just a third world garbage dump and that’s it. There's nothing to admire there
Are you going for a hike to the mountains aswell ?
Yes, next video.
Nice and cheap. Loved seeing the birds. Wanna see more animals and cool shit.
22:48 Did you just assume their gender?!?!?! 🤣
Great video, as always!
surroundings everywhere are getting strange. the regular pheasants I have seen but not the golden pheasant. looks of old time egypt
What's app. Do you use to measure Internet speed??
Fast.com
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 👍👍🙏🙏
Was that Shakespeare’s at the beginning?
Its seems a place that you can take your time to explore in order the viewers gets a chance to 'what seems ,a nice place, of course past soviet intrigue, atmosphere, plus, good public transport in a place, most viewers will never get a chance to visit.
Hi Gabriel. Can you share the contact person of your $20 day tour?
Their exchange rate makes monetary unit that is 1/100 of the basic monetary unit unnecessary.
Is standard, fella
Maybe first...Cheers Gabe
Boom, got it.
Hi
As a man who living in Kazakhstan, our government is bad if they're really cared about people, they're won't increase prices or making it "free(sellers can set any price)", wasting money into nothing and e.t.c
How disgusting that those beautiful birds were imprisoned!
Ikr I am Kazakh myself but it's so sad that those eagles are here like that to just take a photo:(
09:40 Why are there random romobiles left on the sidewalk?
people can rent it by phone for short distance travel
❤️👍❤️
interesting that Kazakstan is a much poorer country then the USA but theres not a single homeless person on the streets of the major city Amty while all the USA cities have tens of thousands homeless
Because they are not welcomed, and are harassed by cruel teens and policemen. Because such a position is extremely undesirable, people have strong family ties and relatives tend to help each other. I prefer living in Vancouver, love my crackers on the streets
51! Damn
❤❤
00:30 -- Ha, ha, ha, the pics in the men's loo above the toilets. Well, one cannot argue with their taste in women, huh?
Surprised at how ASIAN the natives and locals looks in Kazakhstan. Amazing to me. For some reason I had expected them to look more European, more ... if you will, Caucasian!
The Kazakhs are closely related to the Mongols, they have that look.
👍👍👍
Hi Gabe, This is how they are going to control and restrict travel. This is not a conspiracy theory but a reality. That's why I wrote a comment a couple of days ago. How are you going to make a living when the travel restriction will be forced? For us regular people will be hard not taking a plane, but for you guys "travel vlogger will be devastated.
What travel restrictions are you referring to?
this was just a greedy car rental service, i guess
@@calebtravel5629
Electric cars will always be reliant on the grid. Even the car information will be relayed in real time to the manufacture and governments.
@@calebtravel5629pay attention to the events happening in the world. These are all designed for the elite in charge at the expense of us. The carbon footprint will come into play with a social rating score which will track your travels and score how much one is “wasting” in their daily footprint and impacting their social rating score. Please do your research. It’s out there and will better explain what is rapidly unfolding.
@@calebtravel5629 For example, 15 min cities, you can not take the car to go out of your zone. You will be allowed of 100 trips a year out of your zone otherwise you'll be fined 50-70 euros, dollars, pounds. I'll recommend a research for "the carbon credit score", digital ID and CBDC( central bank digital currency controlled by the banks) and you will understand.
P.S. carbon credit score is the Chinese social credit score in steroids
Your not old nor are you young. Your seasoned if that's a word for us in our early 50's?
and all those other animals in tiny spaces.
What has happened to your mood for adventures?
Car sounded v strange, thanks for showing us.Sometimes better off with a day trip did some in tiny minibuses and worked out cheaper, as I dont use rental cars or else take a train...
Noel Phillips posted a video today of taking the train from Astana to Almaty.
@@tad27612 Oh my, give me Gabriel over Noel Phillips any day - geez!
00:35 Hilarious
That bird at 23 minutes had Donald Trump hair! 😅
👍👍💯💯👏👏✔✔
Shame the zoo was still in existence, poor birds, pigs and sheep.
When will the world wake up and start caring for all that live on the planet?
