I think "lovely" is sarcasm. But anyway, I'd hardly say they're making fun of everything. It's more than they're simply amazed by the bizarreness of the place.

BTW the same is true for SanFranCal et al non-American Americans who perceive the US as a cheap supermarket and don't care about what it stands for. For him freedom of speech is not a privilege but a burden as can bee seen from the utterly frustrated tonality of his posts. He would be happier without internet, it's obvious! A lot of people don't mind to live under dictatorship, accept it and you'll avoid grave errors of judgment

I spend in Turkmenia 3 years. First of all to understand the situation in this country please look closely at the highly descriptive last shot with a white-bearded man. If you think he's dressed to attract tourists you're wrong, it's really a typical local guy. Look into his eyes attentively and tell, does he cares about the democracy or not:)))
