I think this is actually the first time I can sense Boris feels 'This trip was much ado about nothing'. Hope you recovered financially and one day able to brave the equatorial countries!
come get robbed in brasil one day boris!
Dubai was pretty much "we have Las Vegas at home" for me.
He better be coming to India.
@@gladehartdreamer5620 I would be glad to guide Boris in Rocinha or any other Favela from Rio till we find someone with an @K47 (what will not be so hard at all)
He could have written this whole trip off as a business expense.
I laughed way too much at the animation Boris made for the restaurant encounter.
😂😂😂😂
eggbird, xaaxaxaxaxa
That was great. Better than seeing Dubai for sure.
Lol
bruh was full on cringe
Hope he is okay with the current situation. Stay safe, Comrade.
Didnt age well...
@@anonym1192 dang
@@anonym1192 It aged perfectly. Now more than ever we hope that Boris is ok. Come to think of it, he's never actually told us his nationality or where he lives, and we don't know where he is now after his latest video, so it's natural for people to wish him safety.
@@karmakameleon113 I mean his about says his in Estonia, so his safe for now
There isn't a war in Russia and I don't think this gopnik is out protesting... Too busy doing gopnik things.
Boris, I'm delighted to see you safe in Estonia (hopefully noone ever "asks you if you're lost"), but do you know who I'm scared about especially? About Anatoli. From what it looks he's recently completed his military training (I think while serving with his driving skills) and since he's very young he might have been drafted back and sent to Ukraine. I hope he wasn't taken from your family.
My prayers are with their family, as well as anyone else caught in this mess.
Wait where did you learn that he's in estonia?
He moved from St Petersburg, Russia to Tallinn, Estonia last year to start working as a programmer, making RUclips once again a hobby of his rather than his full time job.
@@Human-san Well, he told that he has moved there to work.
why do you hope nobody asks if youre lost in estonia
"Here is 16 lanes of highway; leave us alone. We have skyscrapers to build!"
From a city planning perspective, this sums up Dubai perfectly.
Dubai is bad at Cities: Skylines. That's an endless truck traffic jam.
@@FroggerbobT it's a motorheads dream.
@@B0Sajwah all cities in the US state of Texas are a motorheads dream.
Boris: Goes to a Muslim country and orders pork.
Waiter: There is no pork.
Boris: surprised pikachu face
no pork no alcohol makes slav man go crazy.
there is pork, just need to go to the right hotels which have the license to serve them =D
source : been living in the uae all my life.
@@jayromasanta8072 I get outlawing alchohol and pork. Males sense culturally, if a tiny bit overbearing. But having special licensing to sell it anyway is just strange.
@@Halinspark the reason is to allow the residents and citizens to live with peace of mind and without worrying about the food they eat and what they drink.
@@Halinspark They have to compromise with the rich immigrants who actually use the place void of people.
Boris, I sincerely hope you’re okay with all of the craziness that is currently happening in your part of the world. I hope you’re safe, hope your family is safe, and you’re not affected by anything that is currently going on. Sincerely, from USA.
Only the Ukrainian need to be afraid.......
@@aaaaaaaaaa97 he’s not located in Ukraine?
@@jamesfiles4314 i mean ion know ive seen him in moscow and ik thats russia sooooo
@@jamesfiles4314 he lives in Estonia. A NATO country. he should be safe.
Hope you're safe boris! Stay cheeki breeki
Ultimate Slav King: "If you want second part of video, just do...nothing, I'll make it anyway."
That’s the part of the video I laughed at the hardest. Everyone expects “like and comment or subscribe.” Blew me away with just that line
This aged like milk
Out of every video that is possible, I did not expect the big slav king himself to visit Dubai. But still nice video!
Although if you ever financially recover from this, I do suggest visiting Egypt whenever possible. It's basically the most slav middle eastern country you could visit.
Just make sure you don't have a female companion with you if you go to egypt.
How much did they pay him to visit the city?
Haha, laughs in algerian
Nah, you meant Syria by that,
You guys are western compared to Syria
Just remember not to go to cairo. Unless of course you want to get scammed.
(read this in a boris voice, it sounds really weird without it)
This may get taken down, but Boris please stay safe. I am not sure where you are located, but I hope it is away from the conflict.
i hope you and all your family is safe, Boris
happy valentines day
first
Hope you get a nice slav girl
I love you Boris
Ayo that's haram 🤨
Love you Boris
Imagine being more car-centric than the U.S.
Yeah makes my town seem like the land of walking meanwhile we literally only have 1 sidewalk
What do you expect from an oil country?
Not Just Bikes would have a FIELD DAY in Dubai
To be fair, it’s super hot all year round, so they can’t really walk or bike everywhere
I would not want to walk or wait for a bus when it's 120 degrees, personally.
Are you safe? Are you fine? I dont want politics, just to know you are still alive and kicking.
Boris, everyone is worried for you and your family. We hope you are ok under the circumstances
Hey Boris, I'm having a bit of a hard time right now with life kicking my butt. The part where you recorded yourself cackling in delight at how angry the drivers were at you crossing the road warmed my shrivelled, dead soul. Thanks for that.
Hey, I'm pretty much in the same situation... Boris' videos brighten up my days... Greets from Spain and hope everything will be fine soon! ❤️
Sorry to hear you're having a rough time.
Hang in there, we see you.
Hope things lift up for you!
You'll be fine. Everything gets better eventually.
Most news outlets: "Dubai -looks- is heaven for those who can live there"
Anyone with half a mind: "Wait, where do the poor and middle class live? and why is there so much road? and were are the buses?"
Life of Boris: "Yup, is city for cars only. Everyone speeding because those who can't afford car are banned (also pork)"
@Among Us Thank you captain obvious,
without you we would have never known that the United *Arab Emirates* was Islamic like all other Emirates or the Islam (the second most followed religion in the world) bans the consumption of pork.
truly we would have been lost without you guidance
@Among Us I can't take it with your username
dubai is build on misery , slavery , and corruption
I live here and I’m middle class. I’d say it’s pretty swell.
@@neness6620 AYUP!
Boris, hope you are safe wherever you are!
Hey bud. The world is turning on its head right now. I hope you and your family are safe.
This is the first time i feel like actually trying out a sponsored product. NordVPN really need to keep sponsoring Boris
The sheer hype of getting that nordvpn sponsor has to be one of the best sponsor gains I have seen. I wasn't even mad.
Same
first one I actually didn't skip
Boris? Are you alright friend? Please stay safe during these times.
I hope you are safe Boris, I don't want you to be a Casualty of WW3
2:26 The entire level of that parking garage is full, but the handicap parking spot isn't taken, while Boris hasn't seen much of any police presence at all, meaning they aren't just keeping it free because it would be easy for them to be found out and fined if they did.
That already tells you that these people have their priorities straight.
... but then you realize there is no way anyone could be a pedestrian in a wheelchair on those streets so never mind.
lmao so true
The people of (Dubai specifically) largely are all very nice and kind, it's unlikely that someone who isn't disabled would be rude enough to park in a disabled spot, however the problem of this country lies in its government and higher class and companies, not it's working class and just common people
(but also a lot of the people living in other places in the UAE that are less tourism oriented, i.e ajman are very rude, bigoted etc especially locals bc they are all treated like royalty here)
@@Miss_GiggleFarts That's very nice to hear. In my birth country even disabled people are assholes to each other. I was parking in a disabled spot, my wheelchair was literally in the back seat in plain view for everyone, and someone with crutches walked up to my window asking what the hell I'm doing in "his spot".
It's not only because of the huge awareness campaigns they have about handicapped parking, they have zero tolerance for parking in it, it's financial fine, black points on license and the car will be towed away and impounded immediately, and the likelyhood of that happening is very high, if you park there for half an hour I would say there is 100% chance you will come out and not find your car there.
Just this afternoon, I thought to myself, "Huh, he hasn't been posting for like 3 weeks now". Somehow Boris read my thought - and possibly everyone's thought - and posted a video. Life is good again.
im gonna rewatch all videos till he's back
I come back after many years and find this gem. Love these travel vids and am currently binging the ones i missed. Glad to know you're still around :).
NO PIG BITS ON STICK!? TRULY TRAVESTY 😔
Because UAE is a Muslim Country
@@jeryndavelauan2453 duh. But if he goes to the right licensed places he can get pork actually. Otherwise there's no way they can have all the rich foreigners working there if they take their religion seriously and uniformly.
Beef bits on stick. Take it or leave it.
- the guy who sells beef bits on stick, probably -
Solution: beef bits on stick
muslim country
Boris got new programming job, and can now afford Dubai holidays. What am I doing with my life, blin.
But he explained that he doesn't want to pay the big bucks to travel by bus to the nearest shopping centre, the travel costs alone are insane compared to anything local in Eastern Europe. I wouldn't want to visit a country where most of my saved up cash for trips ends up being used for the trip itself, with no cash left to spend in the actual country you're travelling to
At least you can enjoy the weather here and not worry about getting stabbed by a drunken madman in a tracksuit in a grey city under snow
@@hishamhilal8332 you laugh, but currently Eastern Europe is statistically safer than Western Europe in a number of categories. So I've no idea where you got that from
@@abcmusicman1 i love boris but hes lying about transportation costs its about 3.50 dirhams/0.90$ per km in a normal taxi and 8 dirhams/2.90$ in an uber and its more expensive because they use high end cars like teslas and lexus and the city isnt built around pedestrians they expect everyone to drive becuase fuel prices are super low and u cant really walk anywhere with its hot weather
@@aba2152 i don't think he's lying, i mean why would he? it's probably just to his own experience at the one/two taxis he was on, and seeing that he is a foreigner, maybe that specific taxi driver upcharged. Also, airport prices are generally more expensive
To everyone asking about Boris, he is Estonian, and on his Instagram he posted "i will be back one day, but now is not the time for laughs and comedy.."
Can you tell me name on his insta?
@@wavy6470 the_life_of_boris
He is Russian living in Estonia, don´t you recognize his slavic russian accent?
Papa Boris please stay far away from the war we need you safe
More Boris content. Life is still good
Update: no date today, but still, happy Valentine's day comrades!
Indeed
No date today either but happy valentines for you too
happy valentine's day, comrade.
Happy valentine's comrade
happy Valentines comrade, still i don't have gf, but still, i celebrate Valentines with family ;)
“They can’t possibly ban everyone from country”
(Australia and Japan sheepishly avert their eyes)
LoL are Japanese banned there or what
@@NinoJoel No, Japan and Australia are just very isolated.
@@SkandiTV Australia completely shut it's borders due to the Panini. For a moment they didn't even allow their own citizens to re-enter, or even MAIL. Post to AU was not moving anywhere... So yup, a country can ban everybody.
Also, North Korea: Exists
@@dzr4421 you can still come in if you have a visa and can prove you are vaccinated and don't have the mad rona. Family friend from the Philippines just come here for uni. As for Japan, they have always hated gaijin. Now they just have a valid excuse. Lol, I remember after I moved back from Japan my friends their weren't allowed to leave Japan to visit home or anything as if they left they would be permanently banned from reentry (not sure if they is still the case)Lol after like a solid year of no foreigners being allowed in the media was still giving such great tips for avoiding covid like "don't share meals with gaijin"
@@dzr4421 owners of russian citizenship still can buy tour to North Korea for ~ 485€ (and even return back, lol)
Hey Boris I don’t know where you are in the eastern part of Europe but be safe man.
Estonia. He's fine
Thank you for your upload as always!
Boris roasting Dubai is the kind of content I live for
Not as a person who lives there 😢
Ordering pork in Dubai... never change, Boris. Love your stuff. I laughed pretty hard.
Stay safe boris and family!
STAY SAFE, COMRADE.
The slav superstar posting again, thx boris for years of content and laughs
Who needs a valentine when you have a new Boris video to watch
He's OUR Valentine. :)
Hope youre safe, Boris
Glad to see the king back on the move, I missed the country reviews over the past couple of years.
This is a surprise, as I never expected someone like him to want to visit a middle eastern country, let alone one which was heavily criticized for it's practices
That's the UAE, not Saudi Arabia
And he came in and criticised the place.
More of a international finance city than a middle-eastern to be honest.
Real middle east would be like saudi arabia or afghanistan.
@@republicshallriseagain419 Since when is Afghanistan a part of the Middle East? Afghan is central Asia)
@@republicshallriseagain419 there is no “more middle eastern”. just because a place is really modern and has a bunch of tourist attractions doesn’t mean that it suddenly isn’t in its geographical and cultural area..
Top tier video, journalistic investigation of a very misrepresented tourist destination
Boris got called to the army for cooking lmao
4:58 I love this smol bit
That was a clean sponsor segment. I am not even mad. Good on ya Boris.
It was so good I might dump my Nord VPN and re-sign up using Boris' link.
NordVPN.
If you want to keep internet from turning into inter-njet.
I think your contents at its finest when you really talk out of your heart and fully express yourself, keep being wild Boris, we love you!
Yeah
Thanks for the warning about the cost of taxis! It's that attention to detail that makes me love hour travel videos.
This was awesome as someone who could never afford traveling and watching you this made my night! Thanks.
YOURE TELLING ME HE WAS IN TOWN AND I MISSED THIS?!??!?!
crying sobbing Boris why didn't you tell us
Prolly-
*cries in Arabic* 😭
Ikr
"town"
About the pork, as an Arab who lives in jordan, there is surprisingly a rare amount of pork products in grocery stores and and even more rare amount of pork shops in Amman. So next time when you want shashlika in jordan, you have to make it at home.
Isn't pork banned there
@@atherapists3331 Well no, as the reason Jordan has pork products is to cater to the Christian population living here, and maybe some tourists.
I love you covering transportation in other countries!! As someone absolutely fed up with car centric design, I'm so glad to hear other people echoing the same and grading other countries
These are are best!
Congrats on the sponsorship. only time I didn't skip as it was as fun as the whole video..
4:29 they even have a PS5 there? Amazing!
Honestly what a brilliant review of Dubai I'm really looking forward to the second video.
Stay safe Boris, get your family to safety as needed
BORIS ARE YOU OKAY?? PLEASE BE SAFE
Now this is a premiumly funny video. Not sure what it is, Boris is just really on his game with these jokes. Can really feel his energy and his honesty.
Awesome vid comrade! I absolutely love the way you describe your experiences. I would definitely watch a travel show with Boris as the host.
Boris, please stay well.
Please don't let this be the last.
4:35
The Sponsorship segment was smoother than Butter
ikr, the disbelief in his voice.
just looking at the roads, this place would prolly turn me into a human jerky. get flattened by a car then sun-dried instantly 😂
Stay safe brother
He's in Russia, not Ukraine
@@deodusio5769 real, seems like he lives a lavish life for a russian
@@deodusio5769 big bro I know that. Still could go bad man
Stay safe, comrade. Hope you, your family and your friends, regardless of wherever they are from, safe from the war.
"I not want cow or eggbird!"
I spat out my coffee. Everywhere.
The most accurate depiction is that almost all the time the traffic buttons do nothing lmao
I truly hope you, Artyom, your neighbor, neighbor cat, your grandma,and any and all your friends and loved one who are not characters on your channel are safe and sound!
Wwwow, that view ... so surreal,, great video Boris ,, cant wait for part two of your keep it real vid on Dubai
Boris: I am in Grandma’s Village today
(Some time later)
Also Boris: Ey guys i am in Dubai
Watchers: 👀
Dubai is like someone looked up how northern europe developed their cities and said “just do the complete opposite of that”
I actually enjoyed living there for the most part, but he wasn't kidding about the planning of the roads. Google Maps Dubai vs Google Images Plate Of Spaghetti? No difference.
@@AudikaLive Dubai is cool in a pixiv kind of way, but I can see how if you were born there, the structuring could leave you wanting for more freedom in another country.
Boris, dont know if you'll see this my man, but I received no notification for this, i decided to check up on the channel myself to see if you had posted anything. I have all notifications turned on for you, so thats why im putting this here. Also, this was a great video, try not to let youtubes crap keep you down, and stay cheeki breeki
I think Boris has a little more than RUclips stuff to deal with
@@GeneratedPerson Does anyone know where he lives??I was under the impression no one knew. If you're talking about Ukraine that is. Otherwise I've no idea what you mean.
Stay Safe Boris and funny video as usual :)
When schemeshki meets shawarma :
The dedication and money.. respect + I'm glad you have a sponsor! The stock videos themselves must've cost like a couple hundred.
I hope Boris is ok. This world has gone insane again
Same here man
Mark my words 2022 and 2023 will just be 2020 but slightly worse.
@@maomaomaimaimao bi**h u were right
Boris before: Dubai is a target online, but has anyone been there?
Boris after: Dubai is an expensive tourist trap that makes no sense, you shouldn't go there.
I've always said I'd never wanna go to Dubai but now...now I know that is definitely still the case, thank you for giving me more reasons Boris, Dubai doesn't look cheeki breeki at all!
Indeed! I feel that place was meant just for the ultra rich, not for the 99%...
@@MrsHyde92 but it isn’t. he literally went to the largest tourist attraction of the city and only that.
life here is great
As if big European cities are not for the ultra rich. You're just hating because its Arab
Yea it's blyat.
Japan sounds like a far better option
@@zaidalalaf9596 exactly they pick the worst places to go to for their budget
Hey Boris I suggest you come to Egypt! Busy streets and Ladas everywhere! Us Egyptians love lada so much we kept producing it to 2015!
Good bye Boris
Be safe. We need you
i miss boris so much, hope that him does not change so much...
Some people might complain about the NordVPN sponsorship, but as shown in video, there is no trouble in asking for money from a friend if it means otherwise excellent content.
Anything for the Slav King to live the high life!
I live in the UAE and honestly Sharjah/Ajman would’ve felt more at home for Boris considering we have our own version of Gopniks in those places
Exactly the places for Gopniks.
Ahhh I have a feeling that chammaks and boris would get along quite well
Boris, I hope you're safe and sound wherever you are man.
I suppose there is not gonna be any part 2 of the video for a long time now....
Can you blame the man? He literally has relatives in a country that's being invaded, by the very country he lives in.
9:33 love that part the most :D
*so i left and never came back, the end*
Dubai: The only city that tells pedestrians to fuck off.
Great video Boris.
What about every American city?
Amazing content as always
Yes! Country review!! I love this series blin!
thanks boris - you make everyone's day a little bit better : - )
Looks like the Patreons supporters really stepped up their game!
Love you boris.... glad yu could still do a travel vlog in this age
Hope you, your comrade's and Babushla are safe
Davai, can't wait for the food vidya
Especially when Boris made it with an extra gopnik twist
Stay safe boris
Whooow, this video just made my day 100% much better. Nice Boris, keep it up!!!
Hope all is well Boris, with you and your family and anyone in Ukraine, stay safe...
