Where did TUCKER CARLSON go Shopping in Russia?

Where did TUCKER CARLSON go Shopping in Russia?

Hello Everyone. Welcome to Travelling with Russell.  Welcome to a new video. Welcome to Moscow.  As you can see behind me I’m  at Gagarinsky Shopping Mall.  Here in Moscow. Maybe this red arch looks awfully familiar.  I thought I’d show you Auchan  Hypermarket here in Moscow. 

This was made very famous just  recently by Tucker Carlson.  I thought I’d go for a bit of a walk around,  exactly how he did and show you what this   supermarket looks like on a bit of a bigger scale. Because he did a little bit of a tight shot in a  

Lot of places so I thought I’d show you what  it’s really like in this shopping center and   and I hope you enjoy it. Let’s go.  I find YouTube videos very interesting. Because you know you can edit them how you  

Like and have them come out how you like but in  One Direction you’re going to see the car park   and then in the other direction you see these  bright red panels which is exactly where Tucker   Carson stood for his intro of his Supermarket  video and it took me about 30 minutes to find  

This particular entrance because it’s actually  three levels that this car park has underground   from the main street level now I do have one  question does the car park where you go shopping   have bathrooms in the car park let me know the  Shopping Center’s called Gagarinsky Shopping  

Center and this is in honor of Yuri Gagarin. There’s a really neat very large statue just   across the road from here and there’s a very nice  park that you can walk around and I think a lot   of people who probably come to this shopping  center absolutely miss that statue of the very  

Famous Cosmonaut have a look how vast this  lower entrance is there’s another two more   levels underneath this one to go inside the  shopping center and we want to go and check   out these shopping carts that apparently Tucker  Carlson had never seen before and they were world  

First shopping carts for the sake of this video  I’m not actually going to need a shopping trolley   because I’m going to just go for a walk around I’m  not sure if I need to buy anything to take home  

My wife hasn’t sent me a shopping list yet but  essentially 10 rubbles and the shopping trolley   is yours I do have one question though where  you live in the world what do you call these   devices now in Australia we call them shopping  trolleys please let me know in the comments where  

You live in the world and what is the name of  them as a comparable word to shopping trolley.  I almost feel like Tucker Carlson doesn’t  go shopping himself very often he took his   shopping trolley on the travelator right  here these aren’t something new anywhere  

In the world and he showed how the Wheels lock  into position when you go up the travelator and   anywhere in the world that you go and you take  a trolley back to the car park or to the shops  

Like this this is a normal thing everywhere in the  world it’s not a only in Russia kind of thing I’ve   actually lived here in Moscow for just about 10  years since the very first time I came here and  

I’ve been to the shopping center hundreds of times  before and I don’t actually have a car so I come   here by public transport there is trains buses  and even trams that come right to the shopping  

Center it’s not too far from my house where I  live in Moscow so it’s very easy for me to come   here and come shopping and make this video for  you the actual shopping center is three levels.  The Auchan we’re going to go  to is a two level Hypermarket. 

It’s really an insane Supermarket if you’ve not  been to bigger hypermarkets before it’s really   quite mindblowing the amount of things in there. This is actually the normal entrance that I come   through just off in the distance which leads you  also to the public transport and all of the normal  

Shops wrapped around the shopping center and  all the things that are very typical in Russian   shopping malls this particular shopping mall isn’t  anything fancy it doesn’t have anything unique   that other shopping centers don’t have or do have  this is very very typical for a Moscow shopping  

Center it’s actually not even that big there is  probably close to 100 shopping malls in Moscow and   Moscow region I remember taka Carlson mentioning  that he had to go past a perfume shop to get into   the supermarket and that’s very true this is the  traditional entrance you can also enter from the  

Upstairs level as well but we’re going to go in  right here one of the things I found interesting   with with Taco Carlson’s video is how he took  the shopping cart from the car park entrance  

And then pushed it through the shopping center to  come to Ashan which is right in front of me now   if you’ve ever come to the shopping center before  you know there’s always this big pile of trolleys  

Right here and then simply you put your coin in  and then you walk right on inside and you don’t   have to walk through the whole shopping center you  don’t have to go past the perfume shop which was  

Right next door so I’m not sure how much walking  he really did with it but let’s go inside asan   and check it out if you’ve never heard of Ashan  before it’s actually a French owned supermarket   chain that’s all throughout Russia there is  230 of them across all regions of Russia so  

Not just here in Moscow you can go to them as  far as V wasto or any bigger city will have an   Ashan somewhere now what I want to point out also  is what is the more typical way that people come  

Shopping in this Supermarket a lot of people  who will come here by public transport so they   only really have the ability to carry one or two  shopping bags home so these hand baskets are much  

More typical I’m going to say it a few times this  because it really is in Russia and you’ve also   got the metal trolley here that you can put the  baskets in and then push them around I’m trying  

To catch a coup people of doing at the same time  so it makes sense and you understand that this is   the more usual way that people come shopping with  this Supermarket being two levels there is also a  

Travelator inside to go upstairs or downstairs  of course and a lot of people start shopping at   one end and then end up at the other the upstairs  level is all of the non- grocery items and then  

Down here on this ground floor level is Foody  Heaven I think that might be the best way to   describe it there is more than enough choices  of food no matter what your budget is in Russia   and this Supermarket is really for everybody  it’s not necessarily just one person’s budget  

Or another now I don’t typically come to Auchan  because it’s a little bit out of my way to come   here it’s really not that far from my house but  it’s just that little bit fur to go home so it’s  

Easier for me to go to other supermarkets or other  hypermarkets that are a little bit closer so this   particular video is more of a tour of Ashan and  this particular Hypermarket that’s been made very   famous around the entire world for the last week  on television and social media so I’ll definitely  

Show you around the supermarket and what it feels  like and I’ll show you a couple of things that I   might think is interesting for you to look at in  here as as well first thing I want to show you  

Is eggs and there was of course an egg crisis in  Russia according to the news it was really only   for a couple of days particularly right over  the New Year holiday in Russia as you can see  

Now there is plenty of them and they’ve even got  pallets of them on the top level here as well this   supermarket has a lot of people come through it  on a daily basis so as quick as they put it out  

They’re gone now I generally just walk in and  find the one that’s the promotional price of a   box of eggs I’m not very bothered about finding a  specific brand or type and of course over the last  

Month the price of eggs have gone up a little bit  here in Moscow they haven’t gone up a lot and I   think now they’re actually coming down slowly and  they’re stabilizing in terms of the price I’m just  

Looking here at the classic box of eggs so this  is 10 eggs in a box and this one is 130 rubles.  So just about $1.30 for a pack of 10. There was a sign here showing eggs for   97 rubles and for me pretty much right  on 100 rubles is about the normal price  

For a classic pack of 10 eggs just as a point of  interest I’m actually shopping in the store on a   Wednesday lunchtime and I came about an hour ago  initially to the shopping center to have lunch. 

I thought I’d do the walk around after lunch that  way I’m not shopping on an empty stomach there   is a little bit of self checkout here and then  there is absolutely endless regular traditional   checkouts where the ladies sit down on the chair  and do all of the transactions I think by a long  

Way the more popular part of this Supermarket  is always the fruit and vegetable section and   everybody literally walks straight into this and  does all of their daily or weekly shopping the   one thing that is important when you see people  with the two types of baskets right here is a lot  

Of people will only be shopping for a few days  there is isn’t really the person coming in here   who’s doing a weekly shop we have so many small  supermarkets closer to where we live where we can  

Do that and buy something you know literally every  day so a lot of people are only shopping for today   tomorrow maybe the next day and that’s it plenty  of fruit seasonly right now mandarins are hugely  

Popular these are the very small ones I just find  these two fidd personally and there is a lot of   other sizes of mandarins that you can get but a  lot of people like certain varieties of them never  

Ending choices of tomatoes these are the normal  mandarins that’s what I’m used to I don’t like   them little tiny fiddly ones I’m not sure maybe  it’s just the skill of opening them and eating   them we’ll see here more of the vegetables  and then what they do with the more bulk  

Vegetables here like onions, potatoes and carrots. They’ve just got them in these big crates and you   just dig through and choose them how you like. Potatoes are 20 rubles a kilo for the unwashed   ones and then you take them home and put  them in the sink and you’re good to go. 

One of my favorite parts of Auchan is the bakery  and just the amount of choices of fresh bread and   and bread that’s prepared here literally in the  back and you’ll even see the lady there with the  

Trolley of fresh breads and then it’s probably  hard to sort of make out but this entire back   section is the in-house Bakery it’s actually  a really big space and then everything that   you see that’s on these racks are all literally  prepared fresh in the store and fairly classic  

Loaf of bread for 30 rubles and then over here  the French sticks is that what they would call   them in a French Supermarket 33 rubles if you’re  wanting to do the conversion of the prices right  

About 93 rubles is $1 us and right on 100 rubles  is €1 so where I quote a price 33 rues that’s 33   and I even like to do the US conversion of one  Rubble to 1 cent as well so it’s just easier so  

If I see something for 50 rubles. It’s 50 cents or 50 Euro cents.  I think that’s just an easy way for you to look  at some of the prices as I show them today they   also have lots of choices of Quant and different  types of Danish pastories and there’s a lot of  

Choices of bread as well and I remember from Taco  Carlson’s video he came over to this brown bread   and was like smelling the bread and I find that  strange cuz it’s actually wrapped in plastic so  

I’m not too sure what he was checking fairly well  most types of bread here are under a 100 rubles   so under a dollar for a loaf and now these aren’t  as big a loaves as maybe they are in a traditional  

American Supermarket you don’t need a whole loaf  of bread a lot of people just buy this for a   couple of days of eating so it’s not necessary  to get a huge loaf of bread you even get some   quants right here a pack for 57 rubles. This takes me back to my childhood. 

Jam Donuts. These are very nice as well there is   a lot of nice things in here especially when you  come in and you are a little bit hungry you’ve got   a lot of choices and all of these are produced in  in the store and then if you’re really inspired to  

Make your own bread you can actually buy the dough  right out of the fridge here and do it yourself   moving on to the deli section there is this never  ending display of hams salamis different types of  

Cured meats and it’s really a lot to pick from  you can get different Meats in any flavor you   like basically or any style of cooking of the  meats it’s a very popular thing in Russia to  

Have these on the table as a snack even eat them  for breakfast if you want to and there’s a lot   of them as I swing around I do also hope part of  this video shows just how many people are in here  

On a Wednesday afternoon this is definitely a work  day here in Moscow and a lot of people are at work   really quite genuinely and people maybe they’ve  got a day off today maybe they work different  

Hours and I hope it just shows how popular this  store is in this part of Moscow that I’ve come to.  I think from watching Tucker Carlson’s video it  was very hard to get a sense of how busy it was  

Becasue he was doing all of the shots without  showing necessarily people in the background.  There’s really plenty of people in here I made  the last video on Saturday afternoon if you’ve   watched the previous video on the channel so  that was a little bit busier because of the  

Weekend asan also has its own in-house Cafe now  we are still in the supermarket as you can tell   and you can choose some ready food and then come  over here and sit down and relax and enjoy lunch  

And the one thing also they like to promote their  own product so they’re using their own breads to   make sandwiches they’re using their own Meats for  some of the other dishes it’s just a really nice   place to chill out I don’t think I’m showing  anything radically different here to other  

Countries of the world let me know where you  live do you have a cafe in your Supermarket.  Does it have USB sockets up on on the desk  right there so you can charge your phone.  Do you actually go to a cafe in your local  supermarket now this is something that my wife  

And I do when we come shopping we like to buy some  food and hang out and have something to eat and   just take our time walking around because there’s  so much to see in this Supermarket there’s plenty  

Of choices of food for you to sit down and enjoy  Donuts, Pizza Pastries and it’s really a little   bit endless what you can choose from and this  isn’t really anything that you’re going to take   home just eat here enjoy it get a sandwich. Croisannt roll’s right there for 70 rrubles. 

There’s plenty of different salads and you get  these in containers in 100 gram weights and you   can see the ladies back there they’ve got the  kitchen where they prepare everything and put it   out for sale of course a lot of this Supermarket  is endless aisles of food and I’m not going to  

Cover all of them in this video because it’ll be  very long and almost endless showing everything   and the amount of choices I want to give a bit  of an overview of the whole place and just to  

Give you a feeling of how big it is and this is  one of hundreds of Auchans throughout Russia this   isn’t the only one these aren’t actors that  are in the store you know this is a very big  

Shop and it takes a lot of product to fill it and  keep it full based on how many people are coming   shopping they do have a nice alcohol section in  this store as well and they’ve got some of the   premium branded products here maybe some are  familiar some aren’t baluga here is probably  

One of the most known Russian brands of vodkas  you can actually see now it’s a little bit hard   but just up here there’s a rum called Bayou  rum and that’s from New Orleans, Louisiana.  Now imagine in a very random  supermarket in Russia.  There’s a rum from New Orleans  available in this store. 

I did only complete 3 years of high school so  my geography is not the best but Spanish wine,   Italian wine then we’ve got French wine. What have we got over here I think this it’s   possibly Chile I think. My gosh. 

I actually see some South African wine  there on that shelf and then they’ve   got just the general European flag here. So, you can get wine from anywhere in the   world in this store and then right at the end is  the Russian section now there is some well-known  

Russian wines but people still like to buy  things from all around the world at the same   time there’s more than enough alcohol choices  when I step back and look at the store from a   little bit further than just walking right  by the shelves and even just to see all the  

Stock in the upper parts of the shelves there  you can just see endless pallets of stock the   amount of products they can put out theyve also  got an entire display of La chips these are very   typical in Russia they’re not something unique  but the amount of different flavor choices of  

Ls now I famously know that the company is from  Plano Texas so if anybody has had laay before   let me know there is some different ones  here and there one actually here is crab   flavor that’s not my favorite but I guess some  people like it as I reach the other corner of  

The supermarket this is the other travel a  is to take you up and down to go back up to   the non food section then off in the distance  is all of the different drinks and waters and   then endless cleaning supplies very popular  section in the supermarket and the amount of  

Choices of them I am trying to show people in  the store now of course everybody spreads out   so quickly when you’re walking around and just  the sheer size of this supermarket it’s hard   to get a judge of how busy it is you know for  me to come here I’ve passed hundreds of other  

Stores to get to this one I personally only have  to go downstairs from where I live and I’ve got a   supermarket in my building I’ve actually got seven  supermarkets within a 1 km radius of my house.  I don’t even need to come to large  supermarkets like this when I can shop  

Close to home got the chocolate section over  here and then the edge of all of the personal   care items on this left hand side. I think lot people know Yeves Rocher.  Perhaps they’ve got a bit of a tie in with Auchan  being that they’re also French and then looking  

Then all of the different lotions toothpaste  body wash plenty of items lots of Colgate   there’s the Nescafe coffee grounds right here  half kilo bag for 530 rubles so just over $5 USD.  perhaps some people are coffee drinkers and come  around to the aisle with candy and treats and all  

Of these sugary snacks and for everyone who  doesn’t want to use the self checkout which   is completely understandable I’m not a big fan of  them personally the normal registers and plenty of   people always waiting to pay in Asha and anytime  you come here there’s a line at the registers it’s  

Absolutely normal and to be expected it’s not  really a difference if you come on a Saturday   or on a Wednesday shopping one of the things that  Russia doesn’t produce is coffee beans and almost   all of them are imported in some form so they  either come in as beans what’ll come in as ground  

Coffee and then quite a lot of them are actually  packaged in Russia so they’re bought in bulk and   then imported here and then repackaged for sale  as a domestically produced item I think that’s   fairly normal all around the world there’s lots of  choices and different varieties and always going  

To be somebody like me who’s just staring at the  shelf and can’t decide which one to choose from   because there’s so many different types of coffee  it’s the one thing that if my wife sends me to buy  

Them I never know which one to choose from then on  the other side there’s more choices and for me the   only one I really know is NesCafe. I know it’s pretty sad.  I don’t drink coffee personally so I’m not  a connoisseur of all these different brands  

And company names when it comes to Coffee even  when I was working in the Supermarket I slowly   learned some of the company names but it’s just  not my normal aisle to shop in as I’m walking  

Around I think it’s very hard to get an idea  of how many people are physically in this store   especially with it being two levels upstairs and  then here downstairs I mean just looking across   the whole store I’d say there’s three or 4,000  people in here shopping in this one supermarket. 

Imagine how many of them across Moscow there are  you of course Russia has a very big population   and it demands this kind of a supermarket for  people to shop in I wonder if the people at Auchan   listened to my older video talking about other  supermarkets they don’t put their pasta sauce next  

To the pasta and here in asan they’ve got it right  and there’s a whole aisle of PS all the way down   in front of me here and now the cheapest in-house  brand for a 400 G bag is 18 erables so not even 20  

Cents for a bag of pasta so it’s very reasonable  of course you can choose other brands there’s the   whole aisle of them as we walk along here go they  go up a little bit in price but a very typical  

Bag of Pastor is under $1 or1 when you compare  even all the brand ones it’s really not that   much difference in price for me I know the burilla  brand is very well known and the classic Barilla  

Here 80 rubles maybe 90 rubles at the most so  not that expensive for pasta coming back to this   middle section of the supermarket again everybody  is hovering around all the different areas and   walking around now I’m not really wanting to show  people who have empty baskets or don’t have a lot  

Of things that they’ve purchased these aren’t  the reasons I make these videos I make them   to show what a Russian typical Supermarket looks  like and what the feeling is like inside and show   people here shopping and buying things and using  things maybe for lunch or dinner like anybody does  

In the whole world and for me you know when I  come walking in this Supermarket you know I’ll   wander around with a empty basket for a long time  because there’s just so many things to choose from  

That you really can’t just run around here and get  your shopping done in a few minutes it’s probably   minimum of one hour that you’re going to spend  in here even if you have just a few things on a  

Shopping list it’s really just so many choices we  saw these pizzas before in the ready made section   if you want to take one home 270 rubles or  300 rubles for a nice basically homemade   pizza that’s made in the store these are actually  literally made in the kitchen of this Supermarket. 

So, for less than $3 you’ve got  pretty much dinner made right there.  I think it’s almost an easy way to tell all the  people that are going to catch public transport   to go home just by looking at people with the  smaller busets versus the bigger trolleys of  

Course this has got three underground levels of  parking here for the shopping center so of course   people do drive here and come shopping here in  their car generally when you see the people with   the smaller baskets you know they’re catching  the bus or the train home does anybody remember  

About a year ago maybe longer now close to two  years there was videos on YouTube showing butter   locked in anti- Theft cases and I’m coming into  this supermarket and I don’t think I’ve actually   ever seen them personally in any supermarket in  Moscow that I visit I visit a lot of supermarkets  

And here they’re all happily just out on display  just notice here there’s a German flag on this one   right here perhaps people know parmalat as a brand  but there’s more than enough choices of butter.  My wife prefers the milk in these cartons that  are the long life milks and most of the long  

Life milks are by fat percentage now where  you are in the world is that normal that you   buy milk by the percentage of fat in them or  do you have another metric of how you measure   them if you’re interested in the the classic  one that we buy it’s 90 rubles so 90 cents. 

We don’t buy the Parmalat one. This one’s $1.20 for a fairly similar   type of milk just a branded version there actually  a whole row of them here and different choices do   you remember watching the little clip of Tucker  Carlson showing the registers and the goods of the  

Register here especially all the Western Brands  like Snickers, Twix, Mars and then Gillette and   all of the brands that are so famous around the  world I’m pretty sure sure he stood right here  

And made that clip on this aisle so I just want to  give a quick shout out to a subscriber he’s just   gone through the register here and he recognized  me from other videos on the channel so if you do   see me somewhere in Moscow. Please say hello. 

Please introduce yourself he was really so  complimentary of the channel and we had a bit   of a brief conversation about the video I’m making  here so if you do see me out and about please just  

Come up to me even on filming no worries at all  even if you don’t have very good English skills.  We can figure out some way of  conversating with each other.  So, big shout out to the gentleman  that I just spoke to back there. 

Just a quick hello to the fish in the aquarium  here I am still in the supermarket and these guys   are aw their fate and their new home and then  we’re actually here in the seafood section and  

They actually have an open fish stand right here. They do have a fishmonger somewhere and you can   choose which type of fish you’d like there  is all types and varieties to choose from but   unfortunately the aquarium over there you know  they don’t have the best prospects after this  

Afternoon another very big favorite thing in all  Russian supermarkets is this candy by weight and   then they’ve usually got these big pallets of  them and all of the same brand in the boxes and  

Then you grab a bag weigh out what you want and  then you don’t have to buy the package candy you   can choose your favorite one and have as much  or as little as you like and there is quite a  

Lot to choose from they’ve probably got about 300  different candies spread out here and I think no   matter who you meet in this aisle they’ll always  you know whisper to you and my wife does the same  

Thing have a taste make sure it’s something  you like before you eat it and there’s a lot   to choose from if you don’t recognize all of them  but I think there isn’t a person in Russia that’s  

Not come to asan and had one of these candies and  more than likely bought some to take home as well   afterwards I just met another subscriber and the  gentleman is from Algeria and is studying here in   Moscow and I think algeria’s language might be  French because he was very quick to correct me  

When I called it Ashan that in French you say Aon  and you’ve got to almost have that French accent   so we haven’t been saying it wrong for dozens  of videos I’m sorry and I apologize to people   in Algeria and in France for not calling Aon  Supermarket let’s continue the walk on upstairs  

And this is the second level of Ashan now the  only way I can probably compare this to other   places around the world is in America and that’s  Walmart and especially a super Walmart but this   is essentially a super Walmart with another  Walmart on top of it so imagine a two-level  

Walmart now in Australia we don’t have anything  close to the sheer size of these stores it’s not   even close to a a Kmart or a Big W that we have in  Australia just over here in the electrical Goods  

Area now this generally is always empty and has  nobody over here because most people will go to   electrical goods stores to buy things and Ashan  is not the first place you think of when you want   to buy a shaver or a blender or something like  that on this upstairs level they’ve actually got  

A temporary section with all of this different  candy and snacks now coming up in a few weeks   is international women’s day around the world  and it’s incredibly celebrated here in Russia   and chocolate flowers whatever the lady wants  she gets now in Russia I’m not sure if it’s  

In other countries they’ve also got a men’s day  which is next weekend I’m pretty sure that’s why   all these ladies are here shopping looking for  a gift for their other half it’s very different   when you’re on this upstairs level just with the  amount of people that were in the food section  

Then when you come up here it’s almost quiet or  almost deserted to a point and that’s very normal   of every Ashan you go to that the food section is  the primary reason that people come to this chain  

Of supermarkets you know the fact that you can buy  anything in here though is another reason that you   can buy something for a household and then also  all your food at the same time you know still a  

Lot of people up here and there’s someone in every  aisle and every part of this store and as you walk   around but it’s not nearly as busy as it was on  the lower level I think though for most parents  

It’s the go-to place for stationery and things for  the kids to use in school these exercise books are   absolutely classic and Russian we’ve even got  a few in our kitchen my wife uses them to keepe  

Notes and things like that and for 6 cents it’s  more than cheap enough to get a exercise book and   you’ll just see how big the stationary section  is and the never ending choices of pens I andan  

How many types of pens do you really need or oh  I don’t know really has a department store feel   up here and just this General shopping area with  clothes shoes kids products there’s still some   winter jackets and we got about another monthly  left of cold weather before it starts warming up  

So there’s something for everybody you know  this is the thing when you come here you’ve   got to really focus on what you can take home if  you’re on the bus or the train versus if you had  

A car it’s just endless how many aisles there  are just the baby section here with all the   food plenty of choices and then the nappies now  tell me where you live is that what you call them  

Maybe you’re from a country where they call them  diapers there is there a third name for them they   also have a car section where you can get things  like oils and some small tools and the coolants   and antifreeze for winter there’s a section there  if you want to buy packing boxes and shipping  

Supplies gloves maybe you need some gloves then  it comes on over then to the outdoor area and   they’ve got stuff here if you want to do barbecues  now I’d be fairly sure anybody that’s catching a   bus home isn’t buying a bag of barbecue coals  to take home with them it’s obviously somebody  

That comes and shops and buys them they’ve got a  whole barbecue section perhaps there trying to get   winter out of our minds very quickly and get us  into barbecue season in Russia they’ve got some   pretty cool ones here too these are the ones  for the garden these big metal framed ones in  

Russia although it’s still very cold outside and  minus temperatures they’ve got all the seeds out   for spring and summertime and endless choices of  seeds and every time I’m trying to show the aisles   everybody runs away from them because of course L  people don’t want to be on a camera of some kind  

This is a very popular part of this Supermarket  to come and buy these seeds and actually prepare   them at home in the kitchen and have them ready  as seedlings to take them to your country house   for summertime so you can start growing some  vegetables and if we’re not sure where the pet  

Food is it’s pretty easy they got the dogs and  the cats set up with these giant posters this   is actually one of the few shops where you see  canned pet food now almost every Supermarket you  

Go to in Russia has packaged pet food or in saet  and then in here it’s canned I wonder if that’s   the French influence that comes in imagine if I  took this home to my wife this giant cat sign.  Wow, there’s five aisles of cat products. Wow. 

I never realized there was that many and all of  the packages of the cat food most of these are   all under about 30 cents of sachche no matter what  brand you choose from I think I’m going to head on  

Back downstairs there is this way too much to  cover in this upstairs area I mean again you   can just see how big it is and this is duplicated  downstairs where we walk through the food section   already and there is just so much choices of  things and it really doesn’t feel that busy  

Up here there is definitely people shopping  though it’s just not the same intensity as it   is downstairs I wonder as I’m walking around and  everybody’s watching this if this is similar to a   supermarket where you live I think personally this  is quite similar to an Australian Supermarket just  

Not on this scale and this size and this amount  of choices and we have supermarkets in Australia   we’ve never had this concept of a hypermarket  which is what this is and the sheer size of it   and just the turnover of goods and how quickly  you know something is filled up and replenished  

I would think as quick as the trucks get in here  they’ve got stuff going out on the shelves you   can see here some Persimmons perhaps if you’re  feeling a little bit more exotic you can get   a pineapple pineapples in Russia they’re all  the way from Costa Rica all the way to Moscow. 

Tthank you Costa Rica. For sending some tropical fruit   to us here in Moscow as I slowly make my way way  to the registers to head on out I think you’ll be   quite surprised what item that I’m buying as I  leave the store maybe you want to put it in the  

Comments before you get to the last part of the  video what item have I purchased in the store if   you know me perhaps it might be something that  you would think is very typical of me buying and  

If not it might be interesting what the difference  is on your answer and what I’ve decided Ed to buy   as we walk past the meat section right here I  don’t think it’s a supermarket video that I’ve  

Made on this channel that I haven’t shown cheese  and the amount of choices and I must admit coming   to this asan today I haven’t been to one for  quite a while barring the previous video and   certain areas of the shop are certainly  got better looking and more presentable  

Than what it was 5 years ago, 10 years ago. When I first came here and they’re really   trying to step up their presentation of the  store and trying to perhaps attract people   to come shopping here more regularly especially  people who would drive here from somewhere else  

Not immediately nearby you know it’s definitely  got better looking over the years these asan   supermarkets the one thing I do need to buy but  I’m not going to carry it all the way home from  

Here is toilet roll I’m is going to buy it at  my local shop and the package of 12 here is $2.60 or thereabouts. If you were to compare in dollars and rubles   what’s the price of toilet roll where you live. Can somebody who is from Russia explain to me in  

The comments what the obsession is with so many  types of water and so many choices of water now   of course of course I realized some are classic  water and some are the bubbly water but just   Choice after choice of different Waters it’s just  fascinating to me even after living here so many  

Years how many there are to choose from I really  do hope this video has been enjoyable to watch and   I’m almost at the exit I do feel like I’ve walked  around here about four times trying to point out  

Different parts of the store and I think just  looking from here all the way down gives you a bit   of a perspective of all the Shoppers particularly  in this grocery section which is I think the big   reason why people come here to this particular  Ashan and how many people are shopping on a  

Wednesday afternoon now a lot of people really are  at work in Russia and most people would come here   after 6.00p.m. or 7.00 p.m. once they finish work  and this time right now that I’m filming is not in  

Any way a busy time that I’m in the store normally  I’ll come during the day midweek and there isn’t   a lot of people but even for today it’s nice  and busy as I leave the famous Ashan behind  

And the one specifically where tucko Carlson came  shopping I did ask this in my previous video and   I’m going to ask it again why did he come to this  Supermarket what made him come to this particular  

One versus all of the supermarkets in Moscow he  could have certainly have gone to one much closer   to the center of Moscow and just walked into any  supermarket and made a video what made him come   to this French owned supermarket chain you know  is there a specific reason why he chose this one  

Versus others I mean I don’t think this stores any  cheaper than a lot of other supermarkets in Moscow   personally I think maybe 8 or 10 years ago it was  a lower price store to come to I think gradually  

Over the years the prices in here have gone up a  little bit and it’s just not as cheap as it used   to be years ago so what was the reason why he came  here somebody needs to tell me as I’m awake my way  

Out of the store I wonder what everybody’s choice  was for what you thought I bought here in Auchan.  Now I’m going to completely surprise you. I bought a bag of bird seed.  Across the road from the shops there’s a very  nice park and there’s birds over there by the  

Thousands and especially in Winter they struggle  to get something to eat with all the snow covering   all of the ground so I thought I’d treat them  to some I think it’s parrot mix actually now is   that what you guessed in the comments I think  perhaps not thanks everybody for watching as  

I just get to the exit of the store if you like  the video give it a thumbs up and I hope the walk   around gave you a bit more of a sense of the  particular store that Tucker Carlson came to  

Here in Moscow I mean I always like to call all  my videos Russian typical supermarkets and this   really is this particular brand is all throughout  Russia and it’s not a Russian owned Supermarket   that’s one thing that I’m curious why he didn’t  go to a Russian Supermarket versus a French one  

That really makes a difference I’m interested in  your thoughts in the comments let me know if you   want to join me over on telegram there’s a channel  that you can click right here I’m very active in  

The comments and in the chat of telegram and if  you’d like to see an older video on the channel   one’s coming up right now you can check out an  older video by clicking that one and stay watching   traveling with Russell. Okay everybody.  I’m off on another adventure. Bye.
