‘I spent 100 hours in world’s cheapest country where £3 buys you beer and meal’

A Youtuber travelled to the 'world's cheapest country' to show his followers just how far money could go.

Drew Binsky's video of his visit to 'historical, peaceful, delicious' Uzbekistan shows the staggeringly cheap cost of picking up food, drink and accommodation.

The exchange rate sees visitors with just £100 in their pocket becoming instant millionaires, as it will net them nearly 1.5 million Uzbekistani Som.

And despite handing over tens of thousands with each transaction visitors are getting great value for their hard earned Soms.

Visiting the double landlocked country with his wife for five days, Drew's travels took in the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara.

The Texan video creator and social media personality, who has visited all 197 countries since 2012, said in the clip's caption: "Uzbekistan is just a magical place inside and out, with some of the most stunning ancient wonders and lovely, down-to-earth people that will just make you smile."

In the short film he said: "When people hear of a country that ends in 'stan' they usually think danger.

"But this country is quite the opposite."

Drew's total spend on food, drink and accommodation featured in the video totalled around £130.

The five-day trip included hotel stays for a little as £27, large main meals for £2.30, beers for around £1.50, and even an hour long camel ride for 80.

Other bargains picked up on the visit included a litre of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice for 30p (40c), half a kilo of cherries for around 80p, and a silk dress of £11.60.

He also gave insights into the history of the Central Asian country, it's people, buildings, and the process behind making a popular, large, long-lasting bread, samakan.

Drew concluded: "The last 100 hours travelling around Uzbekistan with Deanna has been everything we hoped it to be, and it is now one of our favourite countries and cultures in the world."

And, in case you were wondering it really is among one of the cheapest nations on Earth, right up there with Bangladesh and Pakistan.
