The Uyghur China You NEVER Knew Existed I S2, EP87
I am in the bustling city of Kashgar, also known as the Uyghur Capital of China in Xinjiang Province. I am exploring the street markets and meet some incredibly nice people that share their culture with me. The Uyghurs look much different than the Han Chinese in the Eastern provinces. To me at some point it feels like being in another country.
In this video I want to show you the Uyghur culture in its lively capital Kashgar.

MADE IN BANGLADESH - la storia dei bambini operai nel Fast Fashion🇧🇩
ADOTTA UN BAMBINO A DISTANZA:
Il Bangladesh è il secondo produttore al mondo di vestiti, e Dacca è il motore del Fast Fashion che sta letteralmente sommergendo il mondo di vestiti cheap e trendy. Ma come possono essere così economici? Chi produce i vestiti che indossiamo ogni giorno? Siamo volati in Bangladesh per entrare nelle fabbriche di abbigliamento e svelare la realtà nascosta del lavoro minorile nell'industria del fast fashion. Milioni di bambini lavorano vengono sfruttati in queste fabbriche e in cambio di un paio di euro al giorno stanno perdendo la loro infanzia, un'istruzione, i loro sogni, il loro diritto a essere felici.
Abbiamo incontrato @ActionAidItalia-ETS , che lavora ogni giorno per prevenire questo fenomeno e per cambiare il destino di più bambini possibile, grazie alle adozioni a distanza.
Buona visione!❤

Road trip | Almaty, Kazakhstan
Hi everyone! Today, I will take you on a joy ride through different streets of Almaty, Kazakhstan. Taking a road trip is hands-down my very favorite way to travel. Road trips are one of the best ways to see a place while having flexibility and freedom! We’ve rented a Yandex Taxi to show us around the city, mountains, and lakes. Let’s discover the green sustainability goals of Kazakhstan!
#almaty #kazakhstan
30 hour trek to Kazakhstan with kids (during the pandemic)! #kazakhstan #familytravel #airports
*Please watch in 1080p for better video quality*
This details our flight to Kazakhstan. This shows how much things has changed during this time.
Maxut Zhumayev, 30 years of Kazakhstan’s independence, 30 peaks
In the year of the 30th anniversary of Kazakhstan's independence, many people - experts, scientists, politicians, and members of the public - are trying to unravel the phenomenon of the concept of patriot. By saying this meaningful word, we certainly imply a real hero who is capable of something more than making his own bed in the morning.
Ask ten passers-by whom they consider to be a true patriot in Kazakhstan. They will name Maksut Zhumayev. We have checked. Maksut Zhumayev, a true hero, officer, father of many children, and citizen, accomplishes great things every day. First of all, this refers to participation in rescue operations, educational trips to the mountains, popularization of a healthy lifestyle, and communication with young people and teenagers.
All these actions are not deduced into a separate ultimate project - he lives like that. Being a patriot in the language of Mr. Zhumayev means being needed by people and doing good in simple everyday actions. The world-famous climber, who has conquered all 14 eight-thousanders of the world without using additional oxygen, who has climbed the summit of Everest twice, is extremely modest in his everyday life. Only when it comes to discussing Kazakhstan, our rich history, the fate of the people, outstanding ancestors, Maksut stops being modest.
The hero can endlessly talk about his country, about the people who preceded our independence, about the contemporaries who are building new Kazakhstan, about our unique nature and vast territory. Come to Kazakhstan- let's get to know each other!

KAZAKHSTAN Road Trip Day 4: Screwdriver
We stayed in Altyn Emel National Park hostel this time where we met some comrade travellers from around the world, we had fun evening with stories and pretty basic breakfast in the morning.
It started as a lovely day, but as we got into the park, soon after I caught a screwdriver in our tire! Well, that changed our schedule, because the spare one was also flat… :/

50年前漁港,淪為船舶公墓,史上最嚴重人為生態災難,烏茲別克斯坦鹹海,Aral Sea,Uzbekistan,Moynaq,the worst man-made ecological disaster
大家好 歡迎收看 《行影步離》
我們常說,歲月是把殺豬刀,50年的時間可以使一個人變得更加成熟,但同樣也可以使一座城市徹底荒蕪,比如這座50年前曾經擁有10幾萬漁民的繁華漁業城市,如今卻變成了僅有幾千人的半荒涼鬼城,曾經的漁港也徹底消失變成了沙漠中的船舶公墓。
這座著名的船舶公墓可以說是人類歷史上最嚴重的人為生態災難的見證,也可以說是一處世界上最悲涼的旅遊景點。
船舶公墓位於烏茲別克斯坦境內,卡拉卡爾帕克斯坦共和國的北部,木伊那克小城的邊緣,目前只有小城的標誌,才能看出這裡曾經以漁業而聞名。
木伊那克是前蘇聯時期鹹海岸邊最繁榮的兩座漁港之一,鹹海捕魚業是木伊那克漁民們賴以生存的唯一行業,城裡還有一座頗具規模的魚罐頭工廠,但如今木伊那克卻變成了離海邊150多公里的沙漠鬼城,而魚罐頭廠也早已人去樓空。
鹹海曾經是世界上第四大鹽湖(面積約68000平方公里),從北部的哈薩克斯坦延伸到南部的烏茲別克斯坦,湖水由錫爾河和阿姆河源源不斷的注入。
但是從20世紀60年代開始,蘇聯統治者為了大力發展棉花種植,將河水完全用於棉花灌溉,只用了50年的時間,曾經雄偉的鹹海已經萎縮至原來的10%。
一開始漁民們還天真的以為湖水會恢復,但種植棉花的經濟利益在烏茲別克斯坦政府看來,甚至比環境保護更為重要,近年來已有10萬人失望的木伊那克的漁民離家出走。
對於他們來說,如果不離開,不但沒有適合的工作,甚至生命安全也在遭受著前所未有的威脅。隨著鹹海水量的逐漸縮小,海水的鹽度越來高,魚類幾乎死亡殆盡,裸露出來的大片荒蕪的土地逐漸變為鹽鹼荒漠。
烏茲別克斯坦如願以償成為世界五大棉花出口國之一,但幾十年來棉花生產中使用的大量的劇毒農藥和化肥,則嚴重污染了乾燥的海床。
沒有了鹹海海水的守護,肆虐的狂風捲起地表的鹽粒和農藥,不斷侵襲著木伊那克小城,越來越多的人患上了癌症,呼吸道疾病和免疫疾病,越來越多的嬰兒畸形甚至夭折,該地區的食管癌發病率竟是世界平均水平的25倍。
鹹海的消失不僅使漁業衰落,更使自然環境急劇惡化,木伊那克的居民正在忍受著從未有過的,夏天50攝氏度和冬季-40攝氏度極端天氣。
年輕人可以選擇離開,但老年人卻難捨故土,曾經的漁民對這座漁港是如此的眷戀,但如今只有在博物館裡才能看到漁業的輝煌了。
具有諷刺意味的是,還有一些人留在木伊那克從事工資低的可憐的棉花種植工作,可正是這個行業引發瞭如此嚴重的悲劇。
如果你想去遊覽船舶公墓,可以從卡拉卡爾帕克斯坦的首府努庫斯出發,每天有班車前往木伊那克(3小時)。
源於前蘇聯時期鹹海消失的人禍,在烏茲別克斯坦的木伊那克仍在繼續,但同樣曾是鹹海漁港的哈薩克斯坦的阿拉爾斯克,其命運卻與木伊那克完全不同,另外鹹海的消失也顯露出了鹹海中央前蘇聯的一處生化武器基地,關於阿拉爾斯克的重生和生化基地的秘密,咱們下期繼續。
