Spending 3 Days in The World's Strangest City

its weird but the status are extremely beautiful you can tell it's wealthy country

Drew my sister also did ac4 day tour with odawan this year and paid $910. You got ripped off ;)

Wait can you go to 🇼🇫 drew?? Cus I want you to go I like your videos and I subscribe❤❤❤

I was thinking about moving there to teach English.

They plant a Turkmenistan wedding for almost every visitor with a camera, stop recording actors and calling them the public!

What does apple called in turkmenstan???

I am your 4M+1 member 😂

at least they don't do genocide in palestina as your ppl do

When you said the Government spends billions of US dollars on the marble white buildings what did you mean by that and why are they empty?

Why is it so empty😢

Now that they know of the country, they are going to destroy it.

No worries the USA is heading that direction… we have an authoritarian running for president in 2024 😳 who also hates the smell of dogs 🙄

There’s nothing puzzling about a corrupt, communist, tyrannical government. It’s all as expected.

That's what happen when a kleptocrate keeps all the money inside the country instead of channeling it to offshore banks. It's better than robbing the country blind, but it's still a far cry from how the society and the economy should function.

Those are one of the few girls to have internet access. Surely, Justin Bieber isn't on television? Do they sell magazines in the country? Newspaper?

Interesting that those young women spoke excellent colloquial English.

🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲❤️❤️

I remember that this video on Turkmenistan was the first ever video I saw on drew's channel. This video ignited my passion for travelling at 11, and made me fascinated by the world we live in. Love Turkmenistan, from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹💙🇹🇲

I have to agree with the disneyland description. These pre planned capital cities just look so artificial and lifeless. Its like they spent gobs of money to get something that looks like a movie set or something. No natural and aesthetically pleasing scenery like europe.

Anybody here after the Dhar mann video?

Except some countries ,all other muslim countries have a vision of progressivism

The reason Turkmenistan is so closed is because of the trauma left over from the Soviet Union. Under the Soviet Union, oil made it one of the best Russified countries. Even some 10,000 Armenians were put in Turkmenbashy in 1988 after the Sumgait pogrom. When Turkmenistan gained independence, they wanted to erase all Russian traces and there was even a death penalty for displaying Russian advertisements. Men and women had to wear tradional clothes in schools, state buildings, markets. Really everywhere. They therefore did not want anyone just entering the country to protect the country's sovereignty. That is also why Turkmen cannot leave the country

But the local girls seemed so cool :)

Saparmurat Niyazov: *Bans dogs*

Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov: *Gifts Vladimir Putin a puppy*

Brunei???

North Korea 🇰🇵 vibes he said?

I need to go

He sounds like dictator Aladeen

what a bizarre land, that girl with the phone in the end of the video, must of been the less than one percent of people with internet access .

Seems eerily similar to Astana (formerly "Nul-Sultan"), Kazakhstan. Look it up! Same empty pristine grounds, lavish buildings, same symbology everywhere.

Ok. Let's try not to be racist. Just because you're an ignorant American doesn't mean you need to show the entire internet. Does it?!?!

When she said Justin Bieber I was like "yas girl", cause I knew his middle name is Drew lol

So when will we discover what crimes are committed by turkmenistan

Or are they just keeeeping ALL ressources money to the top?

Why people cannot walk on the street fuck that country gate of hell

Gave the people there freedom

Really and the people has no freedom tell the minister eat all the lavish infrastructure dangerous people no freedom

...🤔... so you didn't actually see the president...so technically he's still missing lol

There's not a single country in the world with such levels of extravagance and decadence that is not simply a weird place. Such people and nations might as well be isolated and remain unvisited for as long as they are unwilling to topple the idiots that govern them and abandon the ways that make them the laughing stock of the world.

Cant film parliament even from car...*zooms waaaay in* 😂

All that money on marble. Could be spent on other shit.

Drew you missed socialism your grandpa coul tell you :-)

Weird.

Things that make you go “hmm”.

Such a cool country

❤🇹🇲

Guess where is the door to hell located? No wonder why.
