Other bloggers are ready to dive into a barrel of crap for the sake of content.

But I'm not like them. I’m totally nuts, so I found an entire pool full of this Nutella-looking stuff. But let's take things in order. The day started with a thirst for adventure, which we decided to seek far from home. We made
Speaker A
stops along the way; at one, a guy clumsily hit on me, and at another, a mini-version of a human asked to feed carrots to the animals. I couldn't find a reason to deny him that pleasure.
Speaker A
Instead, I found a reason to be jealous of Brahma chickens. Apparently, their hairy legs make them beauties, but for humans, somehow that's not the case. A shame. Anyway, having enjoyed the long road and the smell of manure, we wanted
Speaker A
to collapse somewhere. We decided to collapse at a specialized place, the Keda Luxury VIP All Inclusive resort.
Speaker A
That’s what the hotel was like back in the nineties. Now it looks more like a pet cemetery, but it has all the amenities and a gorgeous view of the city. As a result, 4 hours of unrestrained fun in the form of a nap
Speaker A
at the Keda boarding house gave the whole family a mild hangover-like syndrome. To drink—or rather, to treat it—we decided to use the local mineral waters, of which there are a huge number here. Here is some healing water from a wobbly faucet in the wall
Speaker A
or from the big water-dispensing Buryat gnome. But if you really want to exhaust yourself in search of water, you can hike along the mountain trail to the waterfall. It’s 30 minutes on foot, or five minutes by horse. On the
Speaker A
way, you’ll definitely be met by an organized crime gang of local chipmunks who will shake you down for all your nuts. It's a good thing we happened to have pine nuts with us. The waterfall with the drinking water itself was
Speaker A
fabulously packed to the brim with tourists, whom I wanted to cut out of the shots, but I’m not very good at Photoshop. And the cherry on this cake of water-mineral wellness, or rather the chocolate medal, goes to the
Speaker A
thermal pool with its cream-colored underground waters. If it weren't for the smell, I would have thought that all the visitors had collectively had a bad case of diarrhea right in the pool.
Speaker A
I didn't find any information on what exactly they treat here. Perhaps squeamishness. After all, besides people, there are some dark clumps and pubic hairs floating around, which is a real test of endurance. And judging by my eldest son's face, he now has one
Speaker A
more childhood psychological trauma. Personally, I don’t regret a thing, I just pray that after this trip everyone in my family stays alive and healthy, which I wish for you as well. Thanks for watching.
