Life in a New Apartment in Russia: How it is going?

hi everybody and welcome to traveling
with Russell and welcome to a new live
stream and welcome to Friday night here
in
Moscow it’s just gone 10 minutes past 10
in the evening it’s actually 11 degrees
outside it’s actually not a bad day
really uh the only thing was I got
absolutely wet through on the way home I
went to the local hardware store with my
wife today and we thought that the
clouds were going to miss us and then as
we were getting uh getting to go catch
the bus home we got absolutely
drenched so yeah uh here we are in my
new apartment I guess or new
location uh I think it’s a little bit
more echoey in here because I don’t
really have lots of furniture in here
just yet or lots of things uh properly
set up uh if you might have joined my
previous live stream this is now the
second one that I’ve done from this
location the other one was like a
lunchtime live stream so this one’s a
little bit more in the normal time
slot uh of when I do live streams
typically on the weekends and typically
in the evening so yeah I see there’s a
few people here already there’s also 16
likes thank you if you put a like on the
live stream maybe you’re watching maybe
you’re not uh perfectly fine I see
there’s also a few people chatting in
the live comments as well let me know
how you are let me where know where
you’re from let me know that you can see
and hear me uh I’m not fully I don’t
actually watch back my live streams
after I host them so I don’t really know
how the quality is if the you do have
the option to change the quality there’s
a little Cog where you can change the
resolution sometimes it defaults to a
lower
quality you can always change that I’ve
also set up my light a little bit
differently so I’m not sure if I’m
pretty sure it’s all good so I’ll just
go with that I see quite a few regulars
here in the live chat as well so
adequate Shel me guy was the first
person to comment now I know that you’re
a very big proponent of my crazy idea
and a couple of live streams ago when we
were in the other place I didn’t really
mention that we were going to be moving
in when we were because we were still
waiting for quite a bit of paperwork to
go through so we’re here
uh and it’s amazing so far so yeah firef
flux
hello uh how’s it going hello Russell
The Floridian in Jacksonville or it’s
original name Cal Ford Florida I didn’t
know that also jackpot I think that was
what the cruise lines were calling the
destination where the ships could dock
jackport um yeah oh we have Super Chat
no left turn best wishes for your new
home in Russia from
Maui thank you so much Maui Hawaii I
always just it just spins me out so much
that people are on opposite sides of the
world from where I’m sitting and you’re
watching this live stream yeah I will
talk a little bit about the apartment
well a little bit about it um I’m sure
maybe people have put two and two
together and realized that the
previous Uh Russian apartment tour video
on the channel is actually this place
where we’re living um um but I didn’t
basically make it a thing in that video
I’m sure people who watch me on or
follow me on telegram will probably
realize that it’s the same place or at
least some of the uh background or
foreground of the video is the same
place yeah thank you so much for the
Super Chat wow that’s amazing so
basically um going forward apart from
making videos and using money to make
more content and to go out to film
things on a daily basis uh pretty much
it’s an apartment fund now it’s become
that so uh we’ve got over the first
hurdle which was getting the toilet
fixed that was literally that when we
moved in my wife went to go get the keys
from the owner so no one had lived here
we think for at least a year or maybe
even two years it’s not uncommon for
build to own Apartments here and have
them empty uh a lot of people buy them a
long time ago and there is very little
maintenance fees to pay to keep the
apartment even if there’s nobody here so
we think maybe a year or more it wasn’t
lived in and then when my wife went to
just check a couple of things when the
guy gave the keys the toilet didn’t work
um which we’ve kind of now sorted out of
course we had a plumber come literally
that day and then he couldn’t come till
the next morning with the parts because
it was already past 8:00 at night when
he came and the shop was closed to get
some replacement
parts so yeah we had to replace all of
the internal parts of the guess the
toilet
system uh that’s done and then also if
you might have been in the last live
stream a couple of people did put
donations forward for us to fix the tow
rail which was also in the bathroom so
we realized that was Dripping and
leaking so in Russia there most almost
everybody has what’s called a heated tow
rail so from the hot water pipe coming
into the apartment there is a constant
flow of hot water through this snaking
pipe um if you’ve seen what a tail rail
looks like the one we’ve got is a
snaking one and the hot water runs
through it and it keeps it warm of
course so you can dry things on there
also keeps the the the bathroom warmer
so yeah thanks to whoever donated on
that last live stream I think actually
fire flux off I think no left turns as
well I think yourself and then my gosh
now the person I did actually email they
did through boo
y um and we put that towards getting
that done so basically we bought it
literally the same day the part that we
needed and then the plumber had to come
back again and I did post on telegram
the photo of him he wanted to if anyone
notices that photo on telegram he’s got
his arm there and he’s got a Audi uh car
emblem on his arm
tattooed So yeah thank you no left turns
for the Super Chat it’s very very nice
of you and whoever’s clicking Hearts
thank you so much as
well
um what are your what will happen to the
apartment when you leave for Australia
so for now well we don’t really have the
unofficial plan or plan would be that we
would rent this place
out um and get on the plane uh if
anything was to ever happen here and we
ever had to do that literally at very
short notice we could just do that we
could literally just lock the door and
leave it or we could rent it out now
where we’d put our own personal
possessions I don’t know yet but we
could do that we it would it’s very
rentable this apartment as it is so
definitely it’s possible um yeah a lot
of people leave Apartments empty here
and when we moved out of the 13th level
we’re on the same building and the same
elevator um literally all four
Apartments on that 13th level are now
empty uh two of them were empty for ever
and ever and ever and then the one that
was on the opposite side of us was they
just moved out recently as well so there
was nobody when we left that four 13th
level we I haven’t actually seen a
neighbor on our level nine e either here
yet I’m sure they’re here but I haven’t
seen any so Claudia hello Faith hello
Constantine is that as cladio in Florida
in Miami Florida hello we are here and
see you greetings from Moscow bellusa oh
Marina I was at bellusa last weekend for
the tram parade or the parade of trams
I’m not sure if anyone’s watched that
video uh I got together with
Max and Max’s friend I didn’t I didn’t
know Max’s friend at the time so I can’t
remember his name now it’s a very
well-known Russian name uh but Maxim was
very gracious to give me a tour of the
trams he was amazing by the way so
Valentina greetings from Moscow hello as
well I really need to come back to
bellarus skay and go to depo and make a
video at Depo because it’s a really nice
place to film and walk around and show
everybody there and show the cars in the
car park hello from Belgium originally
from Hungary wow love Belgium chocolates
G the Gan seashell chocolates
uh with that glass water fire flux yes
we do love it but now at the moment
while my wife is in the other room
sleeping she doesn’t love it because
obviously the light glows through those
blocks so in the daytime obviously the
light comes through into this bedroom
and it’s really nice but in the evening
like when I’ve got my my computer
screens are basically here where
obviously where I’m looking but the
blocks are behind the screens but the
light bounces off the wall and back into
the glass blocks so so they are really
cool but they’re really not amazing so
what we’re going to
do is we’re going to get a couple of
curtain
rods and put a basic like a curtain that
we can draw and
undraw uh I did want to put some black
plastic up but my wife shot that down
very quickly that idea so Central
Illinois hello oh plastic Russian good
to see you I was very busy all day today
well most of the day because we went to
the we went to lero Merlin which is the
very famous Russian hardware store that
I’ve done a video on and it’s kind of
like you know every guy’s dream to go
there and my wife was not so happy to
walk around and be dragged around it um
did you move into a new home yes a new
apartment it’s in the same building it’s
now on level 9ine we were on level 13
before we were renting that place now we
we don’t technically fully own this
place the bank
owns a fair amount of it um but thanks
to adequate Shel me guy who was
believing in my
dream we are a little bit closer to
owning
it oh my pixel my life pixeled hello
3:15 in the afternoon yes I was actually
trying to watch the golf before I went
live and now the website that I normally
use to watch the golf is not working
tonight so I’ll have to figure out
something else I was trying to find the
channel to watch the live stream of the
Masters Golf uh want to come and live in
Russia I love your videos when did you
move how can donate and what is the best
way from Green that’s William that’s a
lot of things so um the ways to donate
uh now depending on how you’ve got
things set up so there is the option to
do super chats directly on the stream
super chats are and super stickers are
while the stream is going on if you’re
watching any video any time of the day
or night you can also do super stickers
which is a donation below any
video um there is also two options that
you can do almost instantly one is
called donation alerts so there’s a pin
comment it’s in the description of every
video uh and donation alerts I see in a
text box should be on this side because
now I’ve got my screen flipped around
I’ve got a text box open where I can see
so my last donations were five days ago
eight days
ago uh 11 days ago so they were pretty
much when I did live
streams uh donation
alerts just to give you an idea of the
way that works so basically donation
alerts
and the third one is Boosty so donation
alerts and Boosty are basically instant
donations which come to the Creator uh
set up through my bank account here in
Russia so but at your end of things it
doesn’t matter where it’s going
to um because it goes through whatever
their payment system is it’s all
completely safe and
secure um the super chats go into the
AdSense Revenue which gets paid out on
the 25th of every next month which for
me it goes into my Australian bank
account um so yeah if you want to use
any of those you’re more than welcome to
I mean I don’t I just mentioned they’re
all available because people have asked
me forever how can I do this how can I
do
that um when did I first come to Russia
was about nine years ago I say that in
every live stream it’s probably more
like 10 years ago I originally came on a
holiday here my wife who was basically
not my wife at the time I met met her on
a holiday while I was in Thailand and
she was on holiday in Thailand and we
met in a bar it was all like great love
story and she invited me to come to
Moscow I had to go back to work I was
working on cruise ships at the time so I
flew back to America to work on the
cruise ships so and then I came back to
Australia got my tourist visa was the
first trip and essentially I’ve never
left I still had to go to work a few
times but uh yeah hello in Minnesota
hello uh I’m from the US but I’ve lived
in s Paulo
Brazil I saw the one apartment that you
showed recently in the same is the same
place yes I did the math it’s 10 US
Dollars yeah so yeah it is the same
place uh basically I worked it out uh if
you look at what I put as the rent which
is what the rent would be for this place
so um depending on well anywhere between
20 $270 and $300 a month would be the
rent for this place probably be a little
bit higher technically once we’ve done a
couple of little things to it we could
definitely charge a little bit higher
rent uh places here get a furnish when
they’re rented so they tend to have a
higher price than unfurnished because
people just want to move in like we did
to this
place I’ve been watching your videos for
a long
time thank you Evelyn I love your
content thank you so much you’re one of
the o gez oh ge’s that’s what they call
people that were the first people that
watch the channel So yeah thank you for
58 likes by the way so super amazing
everybody who’s doing likes on the video
thank you so much um yeah six years
living in
Brazil wow you had the World Cup there a
few years ago as well
right um yes so this is the same place
as the last apartment pretty much we’ve
lived in all of the apartment videos
that I put on the channel I guess the
exception would be the one in UA which
is my wife’s cousin’s place and then the
one in uh Bishkek KGAN was my neighbor’s
place which he doesn’t live in that
place anymore now he lives in another
place so I’m G have to go visit him to
make a new video there um Anatoli hello
greetings from Moscow good evening yes
11 Celsius and a bit of a rain kind of
afternoon rain showers came through
now if we would have just gone home from
the hardware store as we probably should
have done we wouldn’t have got wet and
drenched but I had this crazy idea of
catching the there’s a free bus that
goes from the hardware store to the
shopping center every 30 minutes and I’m
like oh it’s another 10 minutes wait we
can get the free bus to the shopping
center we can go grab a couple of things
at the supermarket and then get the bus
home we came out of the shopping center
and it was buting down with the
rain exactly that time then by the time
we got to our bus stop at home here not
a lick of
uh Firefly oh the two is there two
fireflies oh from Nottingham
hello is there two fireflies in the
chat that’ll be interesting that there
is anatol again
hello I like Australian English much
more than American it’s clean and very
common teamour thank you I do tend to be
a little bit more correct in my
pronunciation of words so that it’s
easier for everyone to understand
understand me uh please excuse me if I’m
not looking at the camera all the time I
do look down at the chat so hopefully
that’s not too
off-putting um I need to my my glasses

impressed with the apartment and
location thank you Travis yeah it’s I
mean okay we’re not close to Moscow
we’re 50 kilometers away from
Moscow um essentially if I walk to the
train station uh with the new D4 line we
are the last stop on the D4 I can get
get to the center of Moscow in about
about an hour I guess depends on how
quick I get to the train station on the
train um now there was the there the new
Moscow City stop now they wasn’t it test
off sky and they changed the name of it
now to Moscow City the new station well
it’s the old it’s the station that’s
been there all along they’ve just
renamed it you seem to enjoy moving
often well no this we were in the other
place

with it as a I’ve been there a few years
earlier with my wife and loved it and
then I’m and I’m telling him how great
it was and we went and it wasn’t as
amazing as I remember it you know how
you’ve got that kind of you know you

list yeah I think a lot of people have
like Moscow or St ped and these places
on their bucket
lists um yes so we’re not this is Moscow
region not Moscow Moscow region is
basically the outer ring of Moscow
uh we are getting dragged closer and
closer to Moscow by the mayor though um
we’re just passed vukov airport if you
kind of know where that is in the
southwest of
Moscow so yeah we’re not in Moscow we’re
50 kilometers away so it’s definitely
the
suburbs um yeah so yeah let’s just talk
about the apartment for a second I think
I kind of caught up have I caught up
that was an amazing story of you meeting
your future wife yes yeah I’ve kind of
talked about it a couple of times
probably I need to get my wife sitting
next to me here for her to give her side
of the story because you know we always
have different realities of the story
right greetings from mman Nelly hello I
also you’re a longtime Watcher of the
channel uh been living in the US all my
life do you know walk with me Tim I
don’t know him Daniel but I know his
channel and I’ve definitely watched some
of his videos and I think he’s got the
same cameras I’ve got
anyone notices now I’m wearing a DJI
mic um I bought a new camera back in
Australia back in November well October
November and I was very scared to open
it and start using it and I finally did
uh yeah World Cup was a long time
ago uh when did you qu I’ve never smoked
in my life never ever ever ever I used
to sell them in abundances when I worked
in dutyfree on the cruise ships
I’ve never sold smoked a cigarette I’ve
never touched one I don’t even like
touching them the whole carton sealed in
in cases
yes uh for two restaurant did you I left
in the com comment recommendations for
two restaurants did you check them uh
there’s a lot of comments on YouTube
that I barely get through I do try to
spend about an hour a day going through
comments um B Harbor
Florida that’s not far from Miami I
don’t think Alex isn’t it how are you
from Texas yes Jen’s in the other room
she’s actually sleeping she’s probably
awake now because I did tell her I was
going to go live and really enjoy your
channel thank you
Paul uh hi I’m the firef flux yeah so
and I know somebody fire also did
donation alerts uh five days ago and I
did post the photo of the
new um T it’s a heated T rail which we
needed we had shut off straight away cuz
it was leaking and then uh the guy came
and basically drained it out um and it’s
now gone or it went straight in the bin
literally because it wasn’t even really
fixable or someone couldn’t repair it
because it was stainless steel it was
too much of a problem to do that
so Daniel’s 12 and I’m still in class
one oh okay maybe you’re from a are you
from a prolifica maybe I met lots of
school kids at the local school going
back last year
so and their home in Germany in Greece
it’s like 80 yeah we are super duper
wealthy here in Germany yeah I guess I
mean if I look at I I wouldn’t know what
the percentage would be in Russia but I
I know a lot of people you know probably
a lot more people own apartments or
houses than what we all realize and this
is what gets a bit misunderstood with my
you know apartment tour videos and
people think oh how can the average
Russian afford that but you know where
someone might have bought this apartment
when this building wasn’t even built
going back 12 years ago and they can buy
it off Plan before the building’s
finished they can get it considerably
cheaper um and then at some point they
sell it they can keep trading up you
know uh thank you watching from the
UK uh yes so basically a foged up so
this is from
today um they’re not as they’re probably
not as dirty as they look that makes
sense and they are a bit wonky today I
think I think I’ve done something to
them yeah so basically from getting
absolutely drenched in the rain they
haven’t cleaned properly so they are and
am also looking down a little because I
I’ve got my seat at a different height
to my camera today uh so they’re they’re

hoping to watch the second round of the
Masters after this live stream oh thank
you yeah orberg is 1500 kilometers from
Moscow and Russell is like yeah I’m
basically southwest of Moscow and then I
guess you’d have to drive Southeast a
fair distance to get there thank
you
um oh there’s everything every yes
everyone from everywhere Dublin
absolutely people from
everywhere they don’t keep quality
consistency cholov oh I got chovka right
here I actually bought this to drink on
the bus on the way home and the bus was
so crowded I had didn’t get a seat and I
was standing squashed like a sardine
because everyone was hustling to in the
bus because it was pouring down with
rain and they didn’t want to wait for
the next one so
uh yeah I’ve got chog goof this is the
new label too or the new new logo I
guess I don’t know chle off Cola so yeah
I drank that when I got home I normally
buy one for the bus on the way home I
didn’t get a chance greetings from
Germany Irene
hello um oh what’s your favorite potato
chip flavor uh I like the uh spare rib
flavor the L spare rib flavor and we my
wife and I both love this like a cheese
lay cheese
flavor and I tend to eat them before she
gets a chance to eat them so yeah let’s
just talk about the apartment for a
second so we do have a long list of
things we need to do or would like to do
I guess right everyone moves in and has
this big I’m G to do this I’m going to
change that I’m going to do this I’m
gonna rip down walls okay we’re not
quite going to do that but uh the next
thing we need to do as an urgent thing
is to get new curtain or get curtains in
the lounge room we’re now west facing so
we get the uh afternoon and evening sun
beaming through these
windows and it only had like a net
curtains up so we need to get like
blackout
curtains so that’s the immediate next
thing we need to do um we would really
like to get a different shower head
that’s a really tiny
thing um but when we went today to the
hardware store there was about 7,000 to
choose from from and we couldn’t still
choose so and my wife is a bit shocked
like why I don’t just make decisions and
I’m always like torn between what I need
to do so yeah so basically if anybody
does do uh super chats donation alerts
boosties all these things essentially
it’s my fix the apartment uh fund if
that makes sense um the the the the
crazy uh what was it called my crazy
idea thing is still
relevant but uh it’s a little bit
different now so we just we put a very
long list together of things that need
to be done but obviously a lot of things
that are not necessary you know you know
like for instance uh there’s a trim
piece missing off the where these glass
blocks are I guess it be oh it’s not
here which way is the is it that one
there no it’s the one that’s pointing to
the other side
that’s missing um we’ve just discovered
that the door panel to the
bedroom let me see if I can swing the
camera
around am I going the right
way can anybody see that the door panel
so there was a mirror
here which fell
off basically we closed the door and it
fell
off um and then the reason they put a
glass mirror there was to hide this is
hard to point because of the way the
camera is uh they were putting they they
glued a mirror there to hide the
broken PE pane of glass in this wood
frame of the door and you can’t replace
that frame we can’t replace the glass in
the door and I think whoever was living
here maybe a year or two ago just put
glued a mirror up there on both sides
and we only realized that so now we need
to replace the
door um or stick another mirror up
there cuz I thought when the mirror fell
off we thought that the window broke in
the door but it didn’t it had already
been broken
so yeah another thing on the list let me
put my camera back on me
now the other way let’s go this
way
um oh there we go swing it back
around so yeah that’s kind of the list
as well he wasn’t expected to be on the
list of things to do but yeah first the
curtain so what we need to do is we need
to get curtain tracks made well put up
there and then buy the blackout curtains
because the sun is just too much
especially in the afternoon especially
now in coming towards summer spring
summer now it gets dark at 7 o’clock and
then it’ll get 8 o’clock and 9 o’clock
at night
so
um so yeah that’s kind of the next
priority thing to do but we went when we
looked at the hardware store today it’s
a little bit awkward to do your own
curtain tracks I have just an Ikea
toolkit by the way so everything I’d
love to
do um I can’t just with an Ikea
toolkit um do why do you prefer
kka over Burger King K Toka is the
Russian rebranded McDonald’s tasty and
that is all um or tasty dot tasty and
Dot
um yeah I just pref well really I like
both um I don’t tend to have Burger King
too often the only takeaway interesting
we’ve got in our town is KFC and Burger
King and I’ll still choose KFC all the
time over Burger King uh czin charos I
just like a Big Mac meal just that’s all
I get classic Big Mac meal sit
down uh I don’t get it all that often I
tend to really get it more just when I
make a video believe it or
not yes great walk with me Tim is a
great Channel yes I know it very well he
goes to a lot of Hotel
tours uh and he does a lot of like uh
English
holiday kind of resort tours as
well uh what’s your next adventure um
well the next video on the channel will
be a Food Expo that I went to recently

different in Moscow I need to go I
actually someone just caught when I
swung the camera around that’s my press
pass to go to the Russia expo at venha

completely free and open to public but I
got the press pass just to make it
easier for filming so I’m watching from

couple of beers like everyone does every
night no quite fancy the DJI yes it is

me to open it uh because it was sitting
there for four or five months that I
didn’t open the
box I was a bit afraid to open it and
you know use it and then you know people
think that I just have a new fancy
camera right um it is very cool camera
to use and very easy and a lot easier
than my setup of my phone that I
use uh hello from South Africa you need

come back to Russia so I followed her
back
here um yeah I’m completely comfortable
here I worked onu ship for a long lot of
years traveled around on cruise ships on
a weekly basis you know in and out of
ports so moving to somewhere new and
different wasn’t difficult for me uh
that’s probably the best thing I’d
explain um I mean there’s a lot of
positives and negatives to living in
both countries I mean don’t get me wrong

up the except exceptional content monsu
Mike you’re also one of the original
viewers of the channel as well
thank you look at the nose piece they
are the bits that are yes it’s I think
today when I was on the
bus I think I knocked them when we were
a little bit Close Quarters with
everybody on the bus and I think that’s
what knocked them out a little bit Mr
jamoo
hello uh oh you were living in UK for 11
years now I moved to Russia so I’m
learning Daniel wow 11 years in the UK
that’s a long time Benedict hello good
evening do you plan to study Russian or
do you know
you leave for Russia any time living in
a country not speaking the native
language must be it it it’s not as
difficult in especially in Moscow a lot
more people speak English probably not
as many as I think speak English but I
can get by you know with my minimal
Russian when I have
to um and I’m getting a little bit
better at it each time the more that
people Force Russian on me the more I
can understand and reply
back um hey Russell’s dad yes he is here
well he might not be
here no he’s a little bit like you
plastic Russian where he’d prefer to do
a video call or a rather than doing
chatting and typing so how many years
are you living there in Russia and do
you love it well it’s hard to say I love
somewhere because then people think I
don’t like Australia or if I say I love
Russia then people are going to say
you know or you love that you don’t like
this you don’t you I’m very you know uh
very uh in between
everything uh originally we C I came
here close to 10 years ago the very
first
time and then I’ve been here on and off
ever since pretty much the last lot of
years though all the time so been been
watching thank you you’re probably my
older videos are not as good as the
newer
videos NYC here Seattle Michigan and
Vladimir Benedict greetings from
Vladimir Sam’s Russian
Adventures channel is also from Vladimir
maybe you know him or you’ve seen him
filming
somewhere uh the BL to politicon is like
evil these days part of my French I’m
not oblivious to politics I know it goes
on we’ve got politics in
Australia as well
politicians if he could show us a few
local fast food places and try out the
food I should try and do do
that um I should try and do that
Yes actually I had a shma today
sha um at this at the supermarket
restaurant in Globus Hypermarket I’m
sure you’ve known I’ve got lots of
globous videos on the channel and I was
going to have my usual spaghetti bolines
but then they’ve got now a
shmer place with guys making shelmer
right
obviously and I had one of them and it
was amazing and actually it’s the second
time I’ve had one so they recognize me
um they gave me a frequent shmer buying
card now so after eight or nine of them
you get like a free
one and he gave me extra meat which made
it like this huge shmer much bigger than
normal one
so uh love Russian love travel Vlogs yes
Russian travels and then also the
plastic Russian he’s in the chat he’s a
British guy living in Russia also and
he’s got some videos he’s new channel as
well um yeah oh thank you who’s Vlad
vladislav from Montreal
Canada Montreal wonder if you know a bit
a little bit of French
vladislav well it’s French Canadian
there it’s not French right French
Canadian they’re very people in the
French French Canadia the French
Canadian part of Canada are very well I
would say they’re almost very different
from the people in the rest of Canada
and if you go there and you don’t know
French they don’t really want to really
help you all that much I’ve been there
on cruise ships to Quebec and maybe I’m
just it was just my opinion of when I
was there that you know they weren’t as
receptive to tourists as I as I hoped or
I
thought thank you for the Super Chat
thank you so
much
um Sushi is bigger in Russia yes it’s in
Moscow as well pretty much all all
takeaway places have sushi yes few
people riding in Russian here hopefully
it’s nice things
Natalia you’re too lazy to write in
English so I and so I live in Europe I
can do Google translate thank you
Natalia you’re too lazy to write in
English that’s no worries at all
hopefully everyone else you what Jewish
community I’m not too sure about Jewish
Community uh is Russia better or worse
than 10 years ago well I guess if you if
if you’re like me and you miss kitkats
then it’s worse because kitkats are no
longer in Russia mulas AR in Russia
which is a malt ball
chocolate so yeah I mean I guess a lot
of people who are a little bit more
brand conscious of things and they go to
the supermarket they go to the shopping
malls you know you see my videos and all
the brands aren’t here you know the
recognizable Western Brands
then you could say it’s not a good thing
right and then there’s a lot of people
who really have lived much longer life
than I have and remember Soviet times
and when you know the USSR and you know
things like that you know was well
before I was ever here you know and um
some people will say that they prefer
those times because it was a simpler
life it wasn’t as complicated there
wasn’t as many anything’s going on say
that was a better time you know um mean
you could say that you know the quality
of the public transports got better you
know the uh some of the government
services have got better you know the
fact that you can get on your phone and
use apps to do things for the government
services um so yeah I mean I guess
everyone’s going to have an opinion is
it better now than 10 years
ago um
I mean the bus to and from a prela
hasn’t
changed that’s one thing that hasn’t
changed so that’s not got better we were
still squashed on the way home today on
the
bus um Michael no one’s going to stop
you if you speak English and look how do
you look American if you’re going to
wear your American t-shirts with
American flags and American patches on
your backpack then you’re going to look
American uh honestly in Winter or if you
were here in Winter for instance you’re
wearing dark pants dark jackets at
beanie you look like everybody else I
mean you can definitely tell a tourist
than a local you can definitely tell a
mosite than somebody that’s maybe from
the CIS countries that’s definitely
noticeable um but no one’s GNA stop you
in Moscow now if you speak
English uh not at all no Kit Kats
yes I’m not a big Twix fan uh I’d rather
have a bounty I don’t have a bounty
rapper
I I bought a bounty at the supermarket
but I’m not a it’s in the cupboard I
have like a little in the kitchen now
I’ve got one shelf that’s my uh snack
shelf I call
it
so yeah are you getting a grand are we
getting a grand tour of the apartment
Nick you can watch the if you watch
about three or four videos ago there’s
the Russian typical lowcost apartment
tour and that’s this place because I
really talked about it from the point of
view of it being a rental not
necessarily about it being as a
apartment for sale that we bought well
the bank bought it and a lot of
subscribers like you guys helped me as
well um with my crazy dream or crazy
idea of buying an
apartment so um yeah if you want to
watch that video from it’s about four or
five videos ago if you just go to the
newest ones on the channel and I think
I’ve got like $300 and then an arrow
pointing to it
so I basically based on the video of
doing you know it as a rental place
thank you for thank you John Williams
thank you so much greetings from Munich
hello I wish you good luck in your new
apartment thank you John yes we are very
happy to be moved in probably my room
here is not well my room with my
computer in here is not as tight as it
could be we did actually have a if you
watch the video when I did The Empty
Apartment walk around there was some
cupboards here which are now in the
kitchen as an extension of the kitchen
so um I don’t have anywhere to put
anything in cupboards I can put stuff in
the wardrobe which I have done already
but we still have things a little bit
piled up back here the fan I don’t know
where to put yet uh thank you claudo for
the super
sticker thank you Claudio C thank you so
much I’m sorry I can’t show your name
when I click it up here but it’s
definitely coming in the live stream but
then when I click it over here it
YouTube and Russia don’t tend to agree
on things so it basically doesn’t show
your channel icon so that’s a bit of a
shame but it’s
okay thank you thank you so much so yeah
this I guess should we really have like
a like each time we do a video should we
do a different apartment theme for the
videos um
Russia will be much healthier without
Western Products I won’t say the last
word you type there but yeah I mean
there’s always that kind of joke that
went around a couple years ago when you
know McDonald’s left and everyone’s
going to get skinny now you
know um yeah it was just funny at the
time when I saw that did you buy the
apartment or do you no we now we bought
this place this is the place that we’ve
bought uh in conjunction with the bank
in conjunction with a lot of
subscribers and people who did donation
alerts super
stickers what’s the other one called
booy I’m not into Boosty yet I
understand how it works and it works
brilliantly Boosty I’m just not a person
that tells everyone to use it and do it
so but it does work beautifully well in
terms of helping content creators so yes
this is definitely we’re no more renting
anymore we’re not we actually when we
moved out we obviously got our deposit
back at the other place actually we got
a little bit more money back
because in Russia they give you back the
days that you over rented
for uh so if you move out earlier than
the end of the month he gave us like
days um what’s the word where they give
it to you
in
prited and then we just paid water and
electricity to catch up on the month so
yeah that’s actually now going forward
for the mortgage payment for this month
so no
worries uh malari aroma
Maya Russell kakav
Roma no greetings from Munich thank you
Chester hello in Munich
Germany speaking the truth you give me
great insight for my next adventure
thank you Michael I mean I’m just
showing simple things and simple
places uh I probably could have done
another hardware store video today but
it’s in the same one that I previously
made one lero Merlin or Russian typical
hardware store
video yeah there’s Bounty here
definitely yes in Dixie why don’t you
try out Russian brand chocolate bars I
well it’s not exactly Russian this is
mise but I eat Alpine gold so I don’t
eat I used to have
um milka a lot but milka price went
crazy price up so now I have uh actually
it’s interesting
that Alpine goldo it’s well considered a
Russian candy bar it’s not produced in
Russia Miz you can see it right
there
762 is the country 460 if you see any
460s on bar codes you know it’s
Russian so you can see 460 well right
there which is on the ch
golova um yes Bounty definitely you can
get and the bounties I think I if
they’re made in producing Russia it’s

been to a few games I want to go to see
Damo play

moment Damo mosa Yes actually I didn’t
even read that and then it’s on the next
line um Dennis I can get all of these

I really wanted to I could take my
computer into the other room and plug it
into the TV and then stream it to the
television uh you can’t get them as free
to Air channels in Russia but I can
definitely get them online
through I guess
uh
websites actually I was watching ESPN

clouds I didn’t even look at the weather
forecast today because I didn’t I just
didn’t check it right literally so I
went out I was going to wear shorts

Yandex Maps or Yandex browser there’s a
really good app where you can see the
rain clouds kind of you know literally

minute um you and your wife should do
some restaurant reviews be interested to
see some of the restaurants in Moscow
yeah she doesn’t like being on camera
Nick I’m struggling to get her to come
and sit next to me here and do a live
stream with you guys because people love
seeing her and chatting with her and
posting things and people seem to love
her more than me sometimes
hello the
raset to wow that’s a bit of a
mouthful
hello um perhaps alang go is produced in
Russia but is unlikely to contain much
chocolate it’s very tasty I like it I
don’t know what the percentage of
chocolate is it’s a lot of different
languages to read Because of mes like to
do all these foreign languages on the
rappers 762
to let me look
Google uh bar
code by
region let’s have a look where 762
is
762 is Switzerland and
lonstein is 760 to 769 the barcode so
it’s a Swiss mandes imported chocolate
which I didn’t fully realize that that’s
okay uh his name is Nikki prussen yes he
was the one I remember watching that
live stream
actually six pounds of Russian and
Ukrainian candy from a vendor on Amazon
when it arrived the bag had been ripped
open and all the Russian candy
what replaced equivalent amount
of all the Russian candy was removed
that’s crazy if that happened V crazy
crazy
how would they even have time to pick
through it and do that thank you Tony
Tony Stewart maybe you’re the car driver
from nasar retired now of
course in Michigan I’ve been to Great
Lakes Crossing shopping mall that’s
pretty much the only thing I remember
when I went there moderators are doing a
great job thank you yeah I think perhaps
Vitali might be here I really should
give more people moderating skills or
abilities
what do Russians think about Americans I
think they don’t really have too much of
an opinion people here don’t really have
opinions about things unless you’re
genuinely talking to someone and you are
both completely open about the
conversation and talking about
everything under the sun
right um people don’t really form
opinions about things as much as other
people do and people just tend to live
their life and do their thing and stay
in their Lane and that’s it you know
they don’t watching the news and oh my
gosh this is going on oh my gosh that is
going on oh my gosh there’s a cat stuck
up in a tree somewhere and it’s not as
much of a thing you know even even I
mean for me right I’m I like sport so if
I can’t think of anything to make a
conversation about I talk about Sport
and you can ask everybody right what’s
your favorite football team do you like
football do you like ice hockey
especially Russian sports right and
they’re like no I don’t like sport I’m
like how can a guy not like sport
and they
don’t and it’s just that’s the way it is
and they don’t have an opinion about it
and that’s it you know so plastic
Russian got
sunburned so yeah if you anyone wants to
watch the plastic Russian’s Channel he
shows his swim he’s got a swimming pool
in Russia in his back Garden it’s such a
dramatic uh opposite of what you think
Russia is like when he films his back
Garden skilled hello
uh I oh am I reading the same things
keep up the amazing content cheers from
Texas fuzzed thank you
fuzzed thank you so much and giraffe
Nest I guess I copy I guess I Google
translated that thank you again for the
donation alerts when you did it
earlier I like this donation alerts
option because it’s another tab on my
screen and people can put a comment
there and you can also a lot of people
put Anonymous too though as well but
it’s just
fine he’s not a s brand well that’s fair
enough I’m just show when CU I ate this
earlier I don’t have the the packaging
folded
right but I’m going to fold it like that
just because of the rapper and it’s not
really hiding anything right but m is
right
there now a lot of things that are maybe
with imported uh ingredients can still
be produced in Russia like you’ll see a
lot of
coffee that’s packaged and produced in
Russia but it’s imported coffee beans so
you’ll see a lot of coffee beans with
460 on there or coffee generally but
it’s not made in Russia right I mean the
fact they just imported the beans remman
repackaged it into jars or packets but M
and seven
six2 now that’s the thing right I mean
it’s
you kind of I mean I never paid as much
attention to baros until I came to
Russia so Vitali is here yes I know
you’re always in the background so you
are
here uh is there crime no Michael
there’s no well none that I know of
police station’s down the road you see
the police driving around you know um
police station on the main road when you
go towards the train station they always
got their cars parked up and you see
them at the events like when I went went
to the uh M mliter event City Day
events um I don’t believe there’s any
crime but I’m sure there is they’ve got
to be doing something
right um but I could walk around at
night you know I could walk in my
neighborhood not a problem what is your
favorite place in Moscow what would you
recommend to see except the main site
says Red Square have you been to the
Russian exhibition look at that I’ve got
my ID to go to the exhibition and I’ve
got 01 and three
status which is really most things you
need I don’t have the four which is the
VIP though I don’t know what that does
yes I’ve been there a couple of times I
was there last week to do some filming
because I was on local Russian
television so they brought me there to
add a little bit of content to the video
so and then actually when I left them I
went in the train there was a there was
two train cars there and then there was
the Russian Railways had a exhibition
and you get a tour of the new models of
trains particularly the overnight trains
with the with the sleeper cars in them
that was pretty
cool um yeah I like
venha and then there is also you can go
up to the top of stank a tower there as
well uh gki Park I like walking there
I’ve not walked there in Winter well
walked there in a long time at the
moment but need to get back there just
go for a
wand um I mean Red’s qu can always walk
around there because there’s a lot of
things you can do within a few
kilometers of that Center area so you
can go all the way up skia stre up to
pushin
Square um you know you can walk back
over the Moscow River actually towards
uh gki Park that
direction
um I’m swimming in it tomorrow
gosh your home is owned by Putin how
would you even say that unless it’s
government owned
buildings how about Food City I know
Food City very well actually the one
thing I keep thinking about about food
city is to go there and have lamb chops
because there’s a couple of very nice
cafes in there that do very nice lamb
chops exactly like my mom makes them and
know that’s hard to say but when I have
lamb chops at Food City so if anyone
doesn’t know who’s not from Moscow or
Russia it’s the biggest food market in
Russia where about 30% of all Russia’s
food is brought through and it’s a
wholesale retail Food
Market which is just an insane place to
see and walk
through uh I used to like the NFL
football until it got taken over oh
okay yeah I mean I guess a lot of things
have changed in sport as
well uh do you like chick filet and
Starbucks well Stars coffee is now in
Russia Starbucks isn’t Chick-fil-A was I
don’t think that was ever in Russia was
it I don’t think maybe it was I don’t
remember it
is uh what do I miss about Australia Red
Rooster
Nick and chicken treat
and basically just driving in my Hyundai
gets and going somewhere and my parents
of course my mom’s Sunday roast which
you’ll do every day of the week trifle
anyone’s English my M makes a good
trifle Peter thank you for the super
sticker thank you so much you’re very
amazing Peter you’re amazing Peter
claudo vladislav
binam El Fuego no left turns you’re all
amazing and then giraffe Nest which I
wonder what that was in Russian I
wouldn’t even be able to pronounce it
back again that’s for super for donation
alerts
amazing the curtains Are One Step Closer
I think if anyone remembers very way
back when way back way back when we did
the uh microwave live stream because the
old apartment we didn’t have a
microwave literally we didn’t we didn’t
actually we had a hot
plate and that was about it we didn’t
even have a microwave now this place has
a microwave that was here when we moved
in but it’s not particularly good it’s a
very old it’s borderline throw it away
microwave but it does work and that’s
why we’ve kind of kept on a hold of
it and we did the microwave live
stream safest country I’ve ever been in
yeah I mean definitely I mean I agree
with a lot of things that plastic
Russian says obviously we know each
other offline and chat as well I guess
until people come here and a lot of
people who live in Russia will have a
lot of the same sentiments that we do
have um but I think a lot of people need
to come here to at least experience it
and feel it and understand
it uh I’ve never seen anyone use drugs
on the streets or yes not at all no
never been offered it been offered in
many countries I’ve traveled to
especially working on cruise ships in
the Caribbean
the focus of your interest that’s very
true right yeah I mean there’s a lot of
things depending on what you want to see
foodwise architecture wise things like
that
um we’re getting ahead of the chat
what’s going on those who aren’t here do
not understand what he is
saying it doesn’t have any problems okay
Vladimir I’m not sure I understand I’ve
c a Google Translate it what you written
there is it hard to get a driver’s
license there I’ve
not um gone through the process of it I
know they’re trying to simplify it for
non-russians to get a Russian driver’s
license to make it easier for them to
have one in the event that they’re
driving with an international driver’s
license or a one from another
country um it would be easy if I just
went to the I guess I don’t I don’t sure
if I even go to the local police station
or I go to the traffic police station
I’m pretty sure it’s quite simple if
you’re okay with Russian
paperwork um I know they are trying to
simplify the
process uh eating chicken pong we don’t
have a hob at the moment eating chicken
ping ping
pong uh yeah we’ve definitely got a hob
in England you call it a hob or in
Australia we call it a hot
plate
um will there be direct connection with
plastic no we’re going to do a live
stream together we need to schedule it
maybe we can do it Saturday or next two
days and we’ll I’ll bring him on as a
guest and we’ll uh introduce him
formally in a in a live stream as a
guest that’s what we we talked about
doing uh do I see
gnik I I don’t like I mean I understand
the word and the term and the expression
and things like that I mean I don’t
really like the word and the expression
I think everybody here has their own
style and everyone has their own
personality and everybody works hard for
what they’ve got and what they own and
what they use and how they live and I I
prefer that way you know I don’t give
anybody I mean I think this is from me
working on cruise ships and me traveling
on cruise ships to other countries that
I don’t judge people you know you know
of course someone’s got something better
than I’ve got someone’s got a better
house a bigger better car they live on a
higher level I mean but they’ve worked
hard to get to that point you know
they’ve done something that’s allowed
them to get to that point in their life
you know I mean and everyone’s chooses
well not everyone chooses their own path
because you can’t sometimes
but you know it’s um
I don’t really like that word I know
that
thing so yeah it’s nice to love finally
have your own apartment yes it is and
know that it’s our place we can lock the
door it’s our place when we anything we
want to do now we can do we can stick
things on the wall there’s a hook right
there I’m thinking about putting I
really should put my
uh YouTube plaque on this wall so it’s
in the background of live streams but
there’s a hook or there’s a screw in the
wall
right here on the left that I should
hang it up from so I can just look at it
every time and just stare at it um yeah
the only thing now with owning it is we
want to do things but we need to buy
them and pay for them and you know live
as well and budget to buy things slowly
slowly you
know love to meet in Moscow I think your
wife will message you shortly my wife we
love your videos greetings from Raza
Scott okay or I’m in traveling with
Russell Channel as well Andrea thank
you what’s going
on
oh thank you oh it’s right after the
last chat that I’m up
to thank you for uh Swedish Corona
six thank you everybody
really thank you thank you Andrea I know
uh you’re in my uh channel uh my
telegram chat and you’re very active
with everybody there as well
so thank you so
much my wife when we did that when I did
that last live stream it was a lunchtime
live stream my wife was at work right
and a few people donated literally
literally a few people donated during
that live stream especially to donation
alerts and boy which we literally get on
our card virtually
instantly and we literally went out and
bought the replacement of the tow rail
because we wouldn’t have had that money
instantly we needed you know we’ve got
to save for things because everyone has
to do that right in real
life and my wife was a bit in shock that
literally I paid for the to rail she
then paid the plumber to replace it and
so forth but yeah we were able just to
do something on a snap of a finger from
that previous live stream
so thank you I usually sible in Russia
without any yes foreign driver’s license
yes unless you get someone very awkward
who pulls you over and then says oh it’s
not in Russian language oh it doesn’t
appear to be part of the Warsaw
Convention of 19 something or
other I haven’t heard for you me I’m Kur
I’m here yeah I do I’m not doing live
streams as often uh pretty much the last
couple of weeks has been a bit of a blur
with moving into this place and the days
leading up to getting the keys because
we were kind of told this day then this
day then this day and it kind of dragged
on
so um yeah I’m not doing as many videos
as often because we just didn’t have
time I I was sort of thinking we’re
doing this this day we’re doing that
this
day um gopnik is kind of a a word
that’s created about a
certain micro demographic of
people I guess someone else could
probably answer it better than I would
without being so unpolite or
polite uh an Australian police is in
your own opinion what difference between
Russian and Australian police I’ve only
been pulled over once and that was for
speeding coming home from work once guy
was super nice he’s like I’m gonna have
to give you a fine and I’m like it’s my
first one I’m like okay you can
celebrate
then um so yeah I can’t I don’t have
really any interaction with the police
in Australia literally never well
once um so it’s really hard to kind of
compare them there’s definitely more
presence of police here when we were
back in Australia in October November we
virtually didn’t see them around
anywhere like on the roads you know here
you see them quite actively on the
highways and the freeways and by you
know
roads um you see more of them especially
in the center of
Moscow uh which I’ve seen for years
anyway it’s not any difference you know
so they’re definitely more present in
Russia and more visible and more around
and more there about you know I can see
them in my town quite
easily uh yes my my dad is in the
chat somebody doesn’t understand what
are you talking about have you gone to
any museums in Moscow I’ve not been to
any in a while no I should go to more
we’ll rewind later vaugh hello yeah you
can scrub back and watch the live stream
thank you congratulations yes I guess
you’re talking about me moving into this
apartment now somebody said it’s called
a flat I call it an
apartment so best depends on where you
live um I’m the channel
assistant plastic Russian thank
you I’m just helping out where you need
a little bit of uh
tweaking uh small Russian Villages Irene
my wife is from OFA region DAV carava so
I’ve stayed at her Auntie’s house a few
times that’s about as smaller Russian
village as I can
get uh D Cara it’s kind of regional
UA uh We’ve stayed at our friends data
quite a few times uh that’s I don’t know
how far three or four hours south of
Moscow by
train um pretty much you know it’s
that’s just area when there’s no name of
the train stop where the train St where
you get off
so yes normal people save it doesn’t
come organically as an influence of
likes quote yes exact well
that’s even I’m the same I mean it’s not
you know you see the people doing car
rebuilding videos and they’re just
buying this buying that they’re doing
this I mean that’s not really that’s not
reality uh I’ve had loads of speeding
fins yes I had one in Australia and that
was it and my dad will still talk about
it to this
day oh my
gosh uh learn something new today
yes uh yeah I guess if I let other
people talk about the what the answer of
the word is
then um it’s easier wow I caught up to
this to the to the chat 1 hour 25 wow
thank you everybody who’s still watching
live that’s very nice 128 people I think
that was the
highest was it no 169 people was the
most people in the chat at one time so
that’s really amazing that we’re still
over a hundred I mean I don’t expect
thousands of people mean somebody did
ask me a long time ago why if you’ve got
140,000 people who are subscribed you’ve
only got 100 people watching live that’s
how it is you know I’ve seen a uh
YouTube channel that’s got nearly two
million people on their who are
subscribers and then they’ve only got
400 people in a live
stream so you know people don’t
necessarily like live streams versus
like watching the normal content on the
channel
so uh Russians are a good laugh yeah I
guess the more you get to know people
then the more they are funny and
engaging and even if I just take our
plumber from the other day you know he
we know him from it’s actually he
mentioned it too as he said so in the
four places we’ve lived in in this
building he’s come and helped us four
different times to help to do something
so and he’s you know we he had a coffee
you know had a cup of coffee while when
finished doing the the T rck
thing um and you know he’s good for a
laugh and I think that’s very normal
actually today while I was waiting for
the bus at the lero Merlin at the
hardware store the guy when I was just
because I was just asking about what
time the next bus was and then he’s like
aren’t you the guy on YouTube and he
recognized me and he was a channel
subscriber and I didn’t get his first
name actually because we didn’t really
talk about names but you know we were
having a good laugh we were actually
talking about the cars parked in the car
park and where they were from because
where the lero millin is it’s backs onto
a Toyota
dealership and you can see all the cars
park there all these Toyotas are just
there forever and supposedly Toyota is
not in Russia right but we were talking
about all the other cars parked along
the uh the car park while we were
waiting for the local bus to come and we
were having a good laugh for about 20
minutes
so uh Nick you can watch a video of this
uh apartment tour
it’s about four or five videos ago
Russian typical lowcost apartment toour
could you live
here um you could watch that video and I
do a walk through of the apartment
obviously when it was empty well when it
wasn’t there was actually furniture that
was still left here this this sofa here
was
here um some cupboards that were in the
loung room the fridge washing machine
table and chairs in the kitchen were
here so all these things we like to
replace right but it’s not necessary but
um yeah you could watch that video I
mean I I was thinking about doing all
the things wrong with our apartment
video but I don’t really think it’s kind
of what I should do on the channel as a
video because I’ve be nitpicking you
know like oh my gosh like there’s a
piece of trim around these glass blocks
that’s not here and it literally would
cost about a dollar to replace that
trim um but it’s not necessary to do it
right now you know um but it could be
done I mean like the glass in the door
that’s now broken well it was broken
before that we didn’t realize you know
but the cost to replace the door was how
much should we look at today it was
about
a
$100 what’s $100 10,000 rues no less
than well yeah because you’d have to pay
for the
frame the trim and then You’ need to pay
for the guy to install the door so yeah
about $100 to replace the whole door and
you kind of think yeah it’s necessary
but it’s not really necessary
[Music]
so um yeah we never laugh Russians never
laugh yeah they’re very I
mean you know I’d say you know it’s
really a matter of getting to know
people and then they do warm to you and
you they warm to you are you warm to
them thought yeah we love this area we
like the town with like the location we
like the view out the window uh when I
first met my wife before I knew her she
was living in this
building um so she chose to live here 10
years
ago and a real estate agent brought her
to this building and you know suggested
this area to live
in um blogging trucker hello we’re in
our apartment right now the one I’ve
been talking about in a lot of live
streams and my crazy idea well my crazy
idea didn’t come to full fruition so the
40 or 50
Rubble individual donation would make it
come true
basically uh did the attacks scare you
and make you want to leave Russia or you
don’t care uh okay so this is tough
question to
answer because I was there on Wednesday
and it happened on Friday I was at the
uh Convention Center which is next to
cocer
uh Concert Hall it’s all one huge area
it’s two shopping centers it’s a garden
center it’s aquarium it’s a hotel it’s a
big place so I was there on Wednesday
and then I was there Wednesday night I
normally would go home 4: or 5:00 p.m.
from the uh conventions that I’d go to
but I ended up meeting a channel
subscriber who invited me for
dinner and we went for dinner at Crocus
uh City the shopping center and I ended
up getting a taxi home about mid night
because we stayed until the restaurant
closed we had a great night and then
that happened on Friday so yeah it’s
it’s just the the fact that I’ve been
there A lot of times I’d say hundreds of
times that it’s more real when you know
the place you know where it was you know
the street you know where they drove the
car through there you know everything
and obviously if you’ve watched the
video of me
go back there
um you know 911 okay blogging truck is
from New York so he would understand
about 911 and everything like
that um leaving Russia I mean that’s you
know giving in to
certain things by just literally getting
on the plane and
leaving so excuse me um
I don’t think I was at that
point does make you think twice about
things though you know um that things
can happen at any time anywhere in the
world you
know
um Cindy hello hope you’re having a good
day we are I am apart from getting wet
catching the bus home
tonight I keep getting caught by the
same
camera 20 yes and you you get if you pay
it early right so 250 in Australia it’s
20 25,000 rubles if you get caught
speeding in Australia probably more if
you get caught on a public holiday it’s
double uh shushka yeah I guess you saw
my post on telegram where I um so yeah
just talking about the
kitchens so today when we went to lero
Merlin uh we decided Well I decided take
the plans or the measurements of our
kitchen that we have
here and so the kitchen we’ve got
currently okay just has this piece here
and a couple of cupboards it doesn’t
have that because that’s where the
fridge is and we propos to put the
fridge over here and then this is
actually a whole new
kitchen and this is
the well I guess there’s the tells you
all the pieces you let them know what
size it is they let you know what can
fit
okay that’s the
layout so they give you the plans of the
kitchen and they give you the actual
parts list of all of the pieces and they
even gave us the quote to have it
installed so to get it installed is
$300 well less well less than 300 then
you got to pay delivery to have the
stuff delivered so but
oh that’s the potential kitchen that we
could get
if the world was
a you know was uh was round still was
flat what do we call
it and that’s what my my wife wonders
why we went and did this right but you
know you can go there you can give them
your measurements they can give you the
quote for the kitchen
setup um and we can get
that we
could have youever been to New Zealand
is it true that they have a similar
language a different language yes
Maui do you have a dialect in Australia
well not really I guess people from
different states have slightly different
accents if there such a thing I’ve only
been to the airport in New Zealand a few
times did the ockland to La flight many
times going back to cruise ships in
America yeah fines in Russia for cars
and for speeding is very cheap that’s
why a lot of people speed and a lot of
people don’t care when they speed
because they know that the fine is
$250 or two50 to pay the
fine and they don’t worry about it and
it yeah you can get you basically get it
sent to your goosta lugie which is your
government
account um and you can pay the fine and
you get discount if you pay it
early New Zealand ACC is a wee bit like
South African accent that’s yeah that’s
very
true are you now in your new apartment
Peter yes yeah I guess you watching live
streams for a while right so you
understand yeah this is the new the new
it’s no more the kitchen now this is
kind of a
bedroom um and then there’s the glass
blocks and then that goes to the lounge
room and then the kitchen and then
balcony and things like that yes oh
youve just
realized we last video and sound at
times we lost video and sound oh okay I
hope no one’s into the
chat how does how much does the
apartment cost if it’s not a secret and
how many rooms so yeah it’s basically a
one well technically it’s a one room
Place CU they call them rooms in Russia
but it’s a one-bedroom place because
they’ve built a separate bedroom to the
loung room in this place uh in the two
places we lived in previously if you
remember the one with the yellow and
green kitchen it didn’t have a separate
bedroom from the loung room so a lot of
people put a sofa bed in the loung room
and then they pop it open every night as
a
bed I won’t really talk about the price
because you know it’s
not overly necessary to do that it’s not
a secret you could Google it I
guess uh so yes now it’s owned well we
own it and the bank and a few of
everybody who’s been a channel
subscriber Channel member people that
have done donation alerts boosties super
chats everyone owns a tiny fraction of
it
yes uh is that the faucet yeah so that’s
the if you talking about the
kitchen that would be where the sink is
or the tap to the sink so yeah when you
do this you basically just you can
change what sync you choose you can
change What tap you use you can change
okay the fridge we wouldn’t but uh the
key is the
layout so that’s the key is to get the
right layout and then where you choose a
better or worse sync or tap then that’s
up to you then
um congratulation Russell thank you cat
oh thank you so much yeah the last live
stream I was here but it was a lunchtime
live stream so I caught a different
audience during the lunchtime
stream yeah thank you Cindy yeah a few
people are catching
on
um yeah speeding in Russia $250 I lived
in Saudi Arabia 10 years ago and
speeding there is $80 yeah in Australia
looking at about
$250 a fine and then it gets doubled if
it’s a public holiday so public holidays
like
Easter uh or Christmas New Year uh
whatever other holidays they run they
double the fines so if you speed on a
public holiday $500 50,000
rubles uh did you
test didney
I don’t know what that is dney did you
test dney I’m not sure what that
means uh Pet’s not been online much yeah
I saw you you’re in a few live streams
though maybe you’re not watching as many
videos
but there is life we’ve got to live
right did you test drive any
Brenda is that a type of
car I’m not sure who Brenda is it’s also
a lady’s name
yeah fast internet $6 yes I don’t have
that fast of internet but yeah we’re
paying about $7 or so I think I was
there when we had to change the uh I had
to crazy story so yeah we the Wi-Fi we
just wanted to connect in this
apartment and we didn’t realize at the
time but we didn’t think there was
Internet connected here so we called the
company and said can you come they’re
like yeah we’ll come and then when we
moved in and got the key there’s a
router plugged in on the wall in the
corridor and it’s the exact model that
own myself I bought one thinking we’d
need
one um and then they said oh you got to
bring the router down so we can just re
get the password set up and the
internet’s about $7 a month that we’re
paying uh when’s the housewarming party
well we need to do that right we should
do a live stream which is kind of a hous
warming live stream I I can get my wife
to sit here long
enough uh that would be even more better
even even more
amazing uh I’ve not test driven any
Chinese cars I’ve been to some
dealerships but I’ve not been on a test
drive of them I’ve done the test drive
in a Tesla but I didn’t drive it it was
someone else driving because the guy was
crazy and he wanted to show me the
abilities of a Tesla I have done uh I
have personally driven the mosovich 3
which is the Russian Chinese car I guess
uh the jack seven um I’ve been to
Chinese dealerships but I’ve not been in
one for a test drive I’ve rented a
couple of taxes well booked a couple of
taxis that with Chinese cars though
they’re very
nice hundreds and a sech charge on your
insurance for seven years
wow so we we have a small mortgage or
big mortgage whatever you want to say we
have a mortgage
yes
um but I mean the my crazy idea thing
still stands
right 46 rubles a person I think it is
it’s probably gone down now has more
subscribers watch the live
streams uh I have this idea if everyone
gives me 46
rubles 50
cents 50 Euro cents whatever you call it
we can
basically not have a
mortgage that would be a dream that
would be really a
dream how many subscribers are here
today I think a lot of subscribers we’ve
had as high is 169 people watching live
now we’re at
131 kind of keeps going up and down a
little
bit uh Savannah says hello oh hello
Savannah Georgia well the um Masters is
on I was watching a little bit of it
earlier and I’ll watch it a bit after
the live
stream uh I don’t tend to have an
Australian accent because I tend to
speak a lot clearer English and a lot
more British than I speak Australian
because I like to make sure that people
understand me and if I really talk
quicker and more slang then people just
genuinely won’t understand me um you
know so the more clear I can speak the
more that it’s an easier conversation
with
people uh Germany has no speed
cameras it’s crazy how things are cheap
in Russia yes I mean I could prob
if we were very
very smart with doing a live stream we
can probably pay for the
kitchen
literally
um and we could have the kitchen
delivered and installed in less than
less than a
week cooking oh where 11 here no cooking
here in Russia but I guess I’ve
got um well no I won have it now my wife
we we met made some uh like beef it’s
more like a beef stew I wouldn’t say it
was a beef soup more like a beef stew
like beef potatoes
carrots way cheaper
yes some highways with no slud
limits uh yeah they the the the fridges
are definitely small so in our other
place where we were renting it was a
double fridge which was more the
traditional American twoo fridge but
there was a bigger space for it in that
apartment in this place we just have the
normal kind of traditional you know
upside down fridge they call it this is
more than enough for two of us really
and
truly um and it’s
perfectly suitable for two of us you
know and if it we actually the fridge
that’s here doesn’t need replacing you
know it’s not it’s completely it looks
very new so I don’t know where it came
from prior to I was acquiring the
apartment uh drinking water is safe to
drink a lot of people still drink
bottled water though but that’s through
Choice
[Music]
um
uh okay I misspelled the word Gulfport
Mississippi Jordan how’s it
going I’ve been to um well no I’ve not
been to Mississippi I’ve been to Mobile
Alabama I’ve been to Galveston Texas
I’ve been to New
Orleans got everywhere but Mississippi
all the cruise
ships and not going
there thinking of going to Georgia as in
Georgia as in C Georgia or Master’s
Augusta
Georgia ah Mariana no no worries it’s
okay I have an Australian accent yeah it
comes and goes I guess the more I’m
talking the less that I correct the
English uh everything’s cheap except
apartments and cards Apartments can be
cheap it depends on the region right so
however far you are away from Moscow it
can that’s why we’re living here because
you know it’s well it was within our
budget of what we had as a deposit you
know to go with the
mortgage I mean we’d love to pay down
the mortgage and not have one I think
that’s everyone’s life dream right I
mean um then we’d love to change the
kitchen we’d love to get the curtains
we’d love to we really want to change
the wallpaper as well which is quite an
easy thing to do in
Russia um thank you Shel
me crazy ideas are still relevant I
agree with you it needs some
recalculations it’s not pretty much it’s
not changed that
much uh so your crazy idea donation is
not that far off where we’re at if that
makes
sense you know so if we
could hit this number exactly how you’ve
done it then we’d be right there now I
know I’m talking in
riddles but
[Music]
uh why don’t I see disable people in the
Parks malls are in the streets there are
here in Russia people you see them in
the Metro I mean you see
people you you don’t see as probably I
guess as many as you would see in other
countries but they are definitely here I
mean even today going to the hardware
store there was some elderly ladies
catching the bus there’s a free bus from
the shopping center to the hardware
store right the hardware store runs its
own buses
you know as a courtesy so that people
who do use public transport can get
there they’re happy to get on the bus
and go and buy their things and go home
and things like
that it looks more beautiful and more
spacious yeah we we like the cupboards
we’re not a big fan of the open
cupboards you know remember Ikea had the
Open Glass one with with the back lit
where you can put the if you don’t have
very nice plates and things like that to
put in there you want cupboards to hide
things you know and
not have them on show um I’m completely
happy with how this
looks this is my wife’s color choice I
chose the bench she chose the
colors
so um
yeah yeah mosovich yeah I went to the
factory which is the Renault Factory and
there’s the video on the channel where I
went and did the tour of the
factory yeah everything sounds a bit
more epic it’s that’s very true yeah we
get a little bit more fired up and
excited about things that don’t look
like they should be as exciting you know
Northern Arizona here oh Georgia in the
[Music]
CIS the senors in Russia most of them
even live alone due to how easy it is to
navigate in the country yes so during my
visit yes there is a lot of elderly
people who are very active and get out
and about and do things and embrace some
suers Embrace Winters you
know uh I don’t really watch a lot of
Russian news tcash so I would imagine I
only saw it on my I guess I opened MSN
when I opened the Internet Explorer
browser and it showed it there um I
didn’t even look on Australian news to
see if it was on the Australian online
websites so definitely I would say it
didn’t make the news in
Russia UH 60 mes for 10 million
um probably outside of Moscow you
could probably inside Moscow in terms of
the region of Moscow it probably might
be a bit difficult 60 square meters
probably something 30 square
meters definitely outside of Moscow and
Moscow region definitely you could 10
million blessings from Massachusetts
I’ve been to Boston love the
place uh not one person in these videos
do I see pushing granny in a wheelchair
outside this right yeah you do see
people it’s not as
often I
mean Moscow is a big place good night
everybody yes I’m going to slowly head
out as well so we’re going to go for 11
more
minutes 10 plus one and which is my
2hour normal live stream
time uh fresh beef tastes perfectly
fine yeah good place to hide the wine
and VOD bottles we don’t really have a
stash in this place we have a couple of
bottles of rum that we brought back from
my old stash of rum in Australia my wife
put them into the luggage bubble wrapped
them and brought them
back uh sear all seem the same very safe
and good people very clean streets
yes very opposite of your expectations I
think that’s going to be a lot of
people’s answer when they come and see
what’s available what you can and can’t
get how easy things to get things yeah
the kitchen’s very nice
yes maybe we can do that as my wife’s
live stream the kitchen live stream and
then the microwave definitely we want an
oven we don’t have an oven here that
would be if we don’t do the kitchen we
want still want to get an
oven as a
default Peter thank you oh did I miss
because I’m not looking over here that’s
why thank you for second Super
sticker Peter Zed VZ
Peter my dad’s brother is also called
Peter as well sometimes he’s in the live
streams maybe with a time difference he
won’t be tonight
but uh 10 million can buy yes where you
live absolutely could two-bedroom
house not in Moscow you’re looking at 15
or well for a house I’d say 15
million not in Moscow though in Moscow
region north
Texas Adrien
Stevens we have seniors cruising in
yes thank you firef
flux thank you so much for being here if
you’re heading off early than 8 minutes
before we leave the live stream if
anyone wants to do anything like
donation alerts super
chats booties every time I think of booy
I look at my phone because I can see
booy on my
phone um and things like
that um
yeah I live in
Kazan so cool that you live there are
there many homeless folks not very
few and there’s a lot of help for people
here too and a lot of people have an
ability to get helped and a lot lot of
people have a lot of family who help
each other as
well and also in winter it’s not very
nice place to be in Winter if you didn’t
have anywhere to
live please get her to do the kitchen
video Adrian do you promise Susan as
well everybody’s saying we should do
that I guess we should work it out
should I work it
out well we can’t it’s be impossible to
work it out no it
wouldn’t yes it
would um one where we
at that would be crazy imagine doing
that and getting enough to do the
kitchen from a one live stream
683
00 so we don’t have the delivery price
but we’ve got the installation price
[Music]
um no that’s not
right 206
967
two so 141 so I’m just going to divide
it by
subscribers
206
797 it’s still not going
[Laughter]
right it’s not a lot if we divide it by
the entire subscriber count of the
channel we could do it on a live
stream the only negative side here is
the long Winters they’re not that long
you know and I I prefer winter because I
know it’s going to be cold I know what
to expect I know if it’s going to be
snowing or
not thank you Dennis yeah my wife’s back
to work tomorrow she has bookings well
she has more bookings on the weekend she
she have midweek so
yeah Street s sterile not a bird poop
not a cigarette
cruising do you see anyone wearing
hearing aids uh very few I see people
doing sign language so there is deaf
people in Russia I know it’s to say it
like that but there was a lady at the
hardware store today who was working
there with a lanyard and she was doing
signing to somebody on a on a on a
stream or on a video
call I’m not sure who how or what thank
you for the tours you’re
welcome oh in
Macedonia or macadonia sorry as let go
Macedonia never North only Macedonia oh
North because of North Macedonia okay
got
it uh shops are nearby you can go on
order anytime therefore a large fridge
is not always needed yes this is very
true
shushka right we can go literally
downstairs to a couple of shops in our
building even today when we’re at Globus
coming home she’s like I can buy
everything in a prel car why are we
buying stuff at the supermarket there is
no real difference in price
either but there’s not really a
difference where to shop locally versus
going to a
hypermarket uh before and after well
that would be that would be definitely a
long a bit of a wait to get the kitchen
and everything changed I mean the uh
wallpapering would be simpler and things
like that we were thinking of changing
the flooring
which uh when we were at the hardware
store today we saw a guy with the the um
you know what do you call the laminate
flooring and you just get a guy in to
come and do
it yeah long Winters yeah you live in a
different part of Russia so
you’re not in the same region where
people have longer
Winters Take Care thank you King if
you’re off do their hair and nails on
weekends mostly yes that’s why my wife
has a nail salon in the same building
downstairs
so ever do a tour of Russian
prisons um I don’t think that would be
possible unless I meet somebody randomly
in the street who knows somebody who
knows
somebody pre- delivery within 10 15
minutes from Summer cut yeah I know we
can do stuff like P could deliver and
things I mean for me I can just walk
there I’m not as it’s not lazy factor
it’s the fact that it’s convenient to do
it in Russia it’s not for me it’s not a
lazy thing oh I’m too lazy I can order
even I’ve ordered KFC for
delivery and literally it comes quicker
than I can even walk there and walk back
to go and get it so yeah there is a lot
of conveniences to getting things
delivered in
Russia
um to Aid blind or disabled by having a
voice command yes and
beeping very safe that’s true
Kelvin for the last couple of years in
the UK the cost of food has gone up a
lot I wouldn’t say it’s gone up a lot
definitely prices have gone up on things
but that’s normal as well around the
whole world uh it doesn’t matter the
factors of what’s going on I mean a lot
of food is domestically produced in
Russia so there isn’t necessarily as
much Logistics most of the logistics in
Russia is
getting something from one side of
Russia to the other and having it in the
same chain of stores at the same price
and that’s the logistics but the fact
that most things are domestically
available
then you know it’s
not as you know things haven’t gone up a
lot but I think that’s everyone’s going
to have an opinion of that based on what
they what their normal diet is or what
they normally Buy on a daily and weekly
basis uh thank you Josh for becoming a
member of the channel thank you a few
emojis that you can use you get to see
videos a little bit earlier than
everybody else thank you that’s super
nice of you to do
that um what next new place well
there’ll be a food
um Food Expo video coming on the channel
tomorrow uh Queen Street systems oh
hello how’s it going I didn’t reply to
your last email because we went out my
wife got home from work and we went to
the hardware store to go look at this
kitchen thing which is well this is my
thing my wife we went around in circles
about five times and she’s like you
measured up half of the house and then
what are you
buying um yeah we had a lot of we have a
lot of ideas we bought just some little
knickknacks for the house we bought a
new uh like welcome mat for when you
walk in the apartment we bought a new
mat for the kitchen
table we bought the cover to put in the
microwave on the food for some reason we
just realized we left it in the old
microwave in the old
place uh we bought some cushions for the
chairs in the kitchen cuz they’re really
crazy old chairs with a dining room
table uh did go up honestly two times
after Co firstly and secondly after
sanctions oh yeah Co was a massive thing
that in Australia I was in Australia at
the time working in supermarkets
uh yes imported products yeah mostly
because of logistics of getting it here
and where it’s now coming through third
countries and parallel
importing I mean especially a lot of
things maybe like Electronics or certain
things that just not as available as
they could
be hello from Canton Ohio where we are
super wet been raining for 3 Days yeah
we had a shower then I wouldn’t even say
I got Dr but it was a shower but I just
we didn’t plan for the weather today so
uh zel I’ve been to once we drove to zal
and Vladimir we actually stayed there
for a couple of nights we got Airbnb
well Russian style
Airbnb uh with with my wife’s uh friend
and her husband was very nice very
beautiful place it’s probably two
summers ago we were
there I love pugs and cars
fun to make it your own now yes well
slowly slowly slowly the next thing is
the curtains in the lounge room that’s
our next must thing to do is to get the
curtains sorted out and
uh uh well there’s no curtains there now
there’s just the rod with the Rings
which we need to remove and then we’re
going to have somebody install the
track where you can put the curtains on
a track track and then open and close
them cuz we need blackout curtains in
the windows absolutely especially for
summer now
coming uh Roma thanks
CBA ROM
Cola price of Cary the
same oh you can see I’m at my limit now
with a little bit of a
ywn um price of cars is insane yeah I
mean definitely car prices have gone up
I mean I I’m not in the market to buy a
car so I can’t really answer that as a
question
though E3 E200 for 75k when it was
selling for
50k love pugs
hello that was nobody was buying for 60k
is now selling for 2 million
what 600k lader is now 2 million you got
to be joking is that like a must be a
real
AR yeah I don’t know who how or what I
would find someone or someone who served
in a prison or worked in a prison that’s
quite a niche Niche video to find
that uh really and
truly Peter I know I could I I have an
Ikea screwdriver set you know the tool
kit that you get from Ikea for like $20
that’s the only thing that I own for
tools literally and a scraper cuz I
bought a scraper uh to scrape something
off the tiles that’s we can’t get off
the tiles and that’s all I own
so if I had a friend who lived in the
building who you know could just help
out like in Australia I’d have my
brother-in-law Graham he can pretty much
do anything and my dad as well of course
but and I’d call Graham and or my dad
and would get something done now I don’t
have those calls right
so thank you
Adrian North American hello

Railways I need to go on the railway to
make a video though my previous one was
about the uh Russian um
trams what do you
mean about American people from Russia

many times about going to the Far East
now unfortunately at least in the next
immediate future it will be about doing
things to the apartment that we need to
do and the money that we need to pay to
do things in the
apartment have you ever thought about
traveling
to the Russia for
three nzia thank you nzia
cheers glad you answered my comments
you’re welcome Happy April yes Paula in
Ottawa hello my last name is ottaway by
the way ottaway not
otwa I think it’s not a secret my last
name so okay
everybody I think we’re going to wind up
it’s just clicked over two hours the
live stream I so want to thank people
who did donation
alerts essentially that will magically
come in my bank tomorrow and then it
will magically go to my wife’s bank so
that we can work on these curtains in
the lounge
room um and then whoever did live chats
super chats thank you so much as well
uh where are we here no left turns
ELO
bamal vladislav claudo Peter Andrea
Peter thank you so much for super chats
or super stickers you’re amazing and
everyone who’s watching you know uh
thank you for putting thumbs up thank
you for putting comments thank you for
watching old videos on new
videos Taco Carlson do you like him or
unlike him I didn’t really know much
about him I know about him from American
television from working on in America
for quite a lot of
years I can’t really form an opinion of
him if you don’t watch him enough to
understand his opinions and I did make a
video about him making videos in Moscow
so if you want to watch an interesting
video which I got a ton of views the
video that’s like uh where did Tucker
Carlson uh shop or dine and where did he
you know visit in Moscow I made a couple
of nice videos about that
um there’s no Cruise Ships coming to St
Petersburg anymore uh they basically all
the cruise ships around the world that
were’re doing the Baltic capitals pulled
out of going to St Petersburg as
a port stop on the Baltic capitals
Cruisers uh thank you for the awesome
content I enjoy your
video while I work Jen in Texas my
wife’s name is Jen as well but Yia
Jennifer thank you you like me thank you
naika thank you so
much uh what surprised you most about
the Russian cities of Russia um I’m
pretty easygoing about things so you
know there’s a lot of amazing things
there’s a lot of crazy things so there’s
a it’s a very hard balance to find where
is normal
right um and what’s normal where you
live in the world okay I guess you’re in
Russia with the Russian name and where
other people live in in the world is
normal as well and it’s very hard to
find that
balance of what is normal
so you know I guess you know you could
sort of say I mean I worked in retail
and I worked in
supermarkets and I worked in dutyfree on
cruise ships and I could say that
there’s way more opportunity to buy
things here more shopping centers more
stores more choices of products
supermarkets have got way more choices
of foods you you know than what we have
in Australia is a comparison so you know
the availability of things and the ease
that you can get things okay you can’t
get certain brands now you know I
understand that part
but you know I’m not surprised by things
as much I mean I find it funny and I
find
it comical and
trivial but you know is it worth telling
you that story no about something right
background for you that could be used on
your live streams that would be cool
somebody did that little icon in the
corner there love
pug interesting character
yes pronouncing the name
wrongly you have gya
Jen
thanks name is Shena oh Sia
Ora Nia thank
you I miss our one mle here we have one
but it is I’ve seen the Russian malls
there cool thank you yeah it’s
definitely interesting I mean okay Avia
Parks the biggest one in Russia it’s
just an easy place to visit because it’s
got every shop and it’s an easy way to
yard stick you know what’s arrived or
left what’s open and closed in Russia by
going to One Shopping Center you know
in Germany we live in a clown
world I’m sure there’s a lot of
positives about Germany as
well thanks for the answers you’re very
welcome okay everybody I hope this
sounds good when I lean back I need to
do this don’t I and pull it closer to me
that’s oh look at that that’s super
comfortable right
there wow
oh is that working
now soon as I fiddle with the mic it
must be just very very sensitive that
cable thanks for babysitting us you’re
welcome the northwesterners you’re
welcome in barley when you go to Barley
there’s a lot of bars that say husband
daycare center on the front of the bar
so the wives can leave their husbands at
the bar buy them a few rounds of beer
and the wives can go shopping on the
streets in CA and lean and stuff it’s
always funny when you see that because
it just makes you smile husband daycare
center oh you’re waiting for a report
from the day from the hardware I could
have made that video today I think my
wife would have been even more mad with
me walking around slowly on top of me
walking around slowly today without a
camera in my
hand
uh
so you can still come and have uh
Belgium beer in Russia if you’re coming
no worries
OMG yes yes yes yes yes I think it’s
working now so I think there’s a lot of
yeses
well drive on
up yeah so let’s see if we can convince
my wife let’s end the poll over
here that’s pretty interesting the 43%
to 57% on the poll do you own your own
home it’s not that big of a gap in the
poll it’s not like
onesided
474 votes even with only 100 or so
people watching the live
streams a lot people must have popped in
and popped out and did the poll so it’s
a lot closer I like these 5050 polls
sometimes when I’ve done it on the
community tab I think like the tea and
coffee one there was a couple of them
that had thousands of votes and it was
5050 and it’s just a crazy poll when you
see how close it
is yeah Coke and Pepsi yeah I see this
here Coke and Pepsi Nike and Adidas or
Nike and Adidas sorry Nike and Adidas
the chernova cola rather than Dobra
Cola uh okay out of
here Coke forever you can still get Coke
I’ve got a Coke lid right here well no
this is
Coke but the L the this is from
Iran this is Coca colola from
Iran that when we moved I had a I had a
plan of doing a Coca-Cola tasting video
and I had a whole box of
coca-colas and one of them was an
Iranian
one actually somebody gave me this
bottle when I went to the food market
the guy there had like pallets of them
pallots and pallets of Iranian
Coca-Cola um yeah is that the right way
around I think it
is um and the guy gave it to me because
I guess I was super nice to him and we
were talking about that he had Iranian
Coca-Cola you can get Afghanistan
Coca-Cola here I can get that from this
one I can’t get locally in a prka but
the one from Afghanistan I can wow you
can translate
that there my translator translated it
it says Coca-Cola oh
