While walking down the street in Kuwait City I was stopped by the police and questioned for filming. You can watch the other video I referred to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVGe3n485MI

I love your laconic line "Let's see if people stop here…kinda sorta" when you are already halfway across the crossing. Very brave of you to test out the traffic to see if drivers have manners or not Gabriel. If they didn't I guess we wouldn't be watching the rest of this video at that point on because it might have ended with a either the delightful image of just the clear blue sky or the mechanical details that lie on underside of a vehicle ๐

Free speech that we enjoy in the West isn't a given in most other parts of the world. I expect that when I'm in a large city that there is some camera trained upon me most of the time. Sounds like you handled things as best as you could.
Stay safe Gabe. Trust your instincts as you have experienced so many countries and know how to deal with situations. Moral of the story is that you did as you were asked and were safe to move on out of there. Keep on cruisin' โ๏ธ
Why bring this up at this point in time…are you trying to coerce opinions….
This channel is literally turning into a scam, really low quality content with almost every other vlog a clickbait and catchy headline. I follow and watch this channel like a religion (with two jobs on a side) and itโs becoming increasingly difficult to watch 25/40 mins vlogs nothing more than a random talk (or storm in a tea cup). This vlog of 25 mins isnโt worth 25 seconds and same with previous vlog about taxi scam. Understand youโre pushing for views to fund travel however this is on the expense of loyal viewers which is completely unfair. I could have just unsubscribed however I didnโt because I care and rather not.
Yea strange goin there
You think Kuwait is bad. In Australia if you criticise Israel in anyway shape or form youโll go straight to jail. Australia is a modern day commie police state of the highest order.
When the recent problems started in the Gaza Strip, you were the first person I thought of and was checking where you were currently. My brother was on an aircraft carrier during the Gulf War and I watched my mom worry herself silly during that time.
I wish you would travel somewhere far, far away from that part of the world for the time being. I worry.
So you talked on a phone and may or may not have deleted some footage…
Every country has locations they won't let you film…
Hello Gabe, fantastic journeys. I love how you announce the date and temperature of where you are straight up. I have implored more people I follow on YouTube to do the same, to no avail. thank you, and safe travels.
Gabe, Please check the pronunciation of Almaty aal maa tee accent on middle syllable.
Go to the speedskating rink up in the mountains
Gabriel, You got really lucky. Ministry of Interior in Kuwait and State bans filming there. Unless, you have a media ID or someone is paying you to take your blogs. Legally, you cannot film anyone there without there consent. You could have been arrested and sentenced to three years in prison.
Whilst u r walking and talking on the Video, certainly nothing of note to see in Almaty ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I had the same experience in Kuwait, but I still love Kuwait.
Hi Gabriel Iโm Armenian and Iโm you fun and fallower , I love your channel and I watch all of your videos,I want to thank you from you all good things you tell about Armenia ๐ฆ๐ฒ and Armenian people,there is no country Azerbaijan when Armenia ๐ฆ๐ฒ is the one of the oldest country and culture,because turks and Russian help them they go so far, and Armenia ๐ฆ๐ฒ Surrounding aggressive countries , Dear Gabriel if you have chance to came to LA California I will love to invite you one of Armenian residents ,California Burbank Glendale ,North Hollywood ,Hollywood lots of ๐ฆ๐ฒ Armenian ,because we like to be together and we are family oriented people,Thanks again , and not many people knows the history ,

You are exonerated for going to Azerbaijan… You have been to Armenia, you know both sides of the story and to be honest, I would be interested to see Baku too.
