Vladivostok is actually much closer to San Francisco & Seattle than Moscow is. Only around 7,000 KM. There used to be a Direct Flight between Seattle & Khabarovsk (With a 15 min Stop in Anchorage). Unfortunately, they cancelled that flight ✈️ about 15 years ago. Hopefully, it comes back someday!
I love when you show us around Russia, I'm always pulling up maps trying to imagine being there.. and am so thankful that you take us along on these journeys with you. I was quite surprised at the distance between Vladivostok & Moscow.. Then I became curious to see where Sochi is, I had seen someone post a video one time & there were PALM trees!! My mind is boggled by the vastness & the diversity of your country. I hope someday I might be able to see /tour Russia with my own eyes, God willing.
да, для многих это, наверное странно, что в России есть такой город как Сочи с субтропическим климатом. Обычно на западе показывают Россию как очень холодное место.
Я живу в Хабаровском крае. Зима холодная, но очень солнечная. Солнце 300 дней в году. Считаю это большим преимуществом. Зато летом от жары можно помереть🤪@@ДмитрийШайтура
Fantastic video! As an American who has lived in Vladivostok since 2013, I find this city to be amazing! The region in general is quite beautiful, as well.
It's not even 25% of the potential it has. You were shown only the best of the best places, another 80% look different, rundown , dimn and old , but I love Vladivostok so much anyway:0, just saying it would have been much better if the authorities really wanted it:(

Привет, Мэтт, Юля, помню встретили вас, когда гулялис мужем в Кемерово на ноградской в конце декабря 2022, классно, что вы продолжаете ваш блог и путешествия! Желаем Вам вдохновения и здоровья❤
Vladivostok looks really nice. It's nothing like what I was expecting. While I was watching this, I was imagining what it'd be like to have one of the flats in the hills overlooking the harbour. It must be interesting to see all the different kinds of ships coming into port there.
You know, I live in a city much further north and east than Vladivostok, and the windows of my house overlook the Beautiful Harbor, the deepest naturally enclosed harbor in the world and the second largest. Every morning I can see in front of my window a bay that is located 30 meters from my house, in that place the bay is a little over 2 miles wide, on the opposite side there are high hills 300-500 meters high, and above them you can see the peaks of volcanoes. Every day I can watch ships and you know what else, Nuclear submarines, sailing around the roadstead. Our town at one time in the 80s was the largest nuclear submarine base in the world with over 120 nuclear submarines based. Today, neither Russia nor the United States has so many nuclear submarines. Therefore, our town in the USA (Pentagon) was called the Hornet's Nest. It's a pity that you can't post photos here
Во Владивостоке не один порт, их много, разных, и они в разных частях города есть. Город "растянут" по изрезанному побережью и заливам, равниных частей почти нет, везде сопки. Так что думаю то, что вы представляете, не будет соответствовать действительности. Но будет точне не менее интересно и захватывающе выглядеть в разных уголках города.
I've been wanting to visit Vladivostok for quite some time. Pleased to see your video. It looks like a terrific city to visit, and the surrounding areas appear to offer plenty of tranquility.
Thank you for showing us all your adventures. I love learning of other cultures and countries. You have showed me so much of Russia that I never would have known or heard of. Growing up I was always told Russia is one way in culture, structures, heritages, and more. You all have showed me that is not the case. I love traveling and learning from the three of you as traveling to all these areas is not possible for me. Yet, with all of you I feel as if I am right there going on an adventure. Thank you.
90 percent of what they say in the West about Russia is a lie, and moreover, the West provokes its sins on Russia and this has been going on for at least 300 years. Russia is the only country in the world that has given freedom to almost half of the countries in the world from Europe to Africa and South America.. You know, let's take the history of the last 100 years and compare it with the History of the United States, this is that part of the so-called black history of Russia that the West wants to use as propaganda. 1-Holodomor The West accuses Russia (at that time the USSR) of deliberately famine the Western part of Russia, that is, Ukraine. But it was not an intentional famine, it was a real famine that occurred not only in Ukraine but also in Siberia, the Urals and in Europe itself, the cause was severe frosts and crop failure. But in the USA there was a real famine - an intentional famine, it was caused by industrialists and officials who inflated food prices and fired people from enterprises. And this was all supported by the US government. The goal was profit. you know this period as the Great Depression of the USA. 2- Russia is often accused of forcibly relocating some nationalities, for example the Crimean Tatars. But the West is silent that this was a period of war on the territory of the USSR and some people of these nationalities collaborated with Nazi Germany, which indirectly harmed the advancement of the Russian liberation army. But the Russians have never had hatred towards the nationalities of these groups themselves. and these people were simply resettled to new territories inland. This is considered an adequate measure. But the West is silent about the fact that the United States after Pearl Harbor, the US authorities forcibly resettled its citizens, the Japanese and not only the Japanese population, into concentration camps where some of them died of hunger and desentaria. At the same time, there was no war on the territory of the United States, but in American society itself there was enormous hatred towards people of Asian appearance and they were subjected to humiliation and persecution in society itself. 3-They often talk in the USA about how the Bolsheviks dispossessed wealthy peasants and nobles. The goal was to provide food for the population in those difficult times and create collective agricultural land for the entire society. At the same time, they are silent that similar things happened in the USA, but the goal there again was not great goals, but the goal of profit, that is, money. The dispossession of farmers in the USA was called Defarming in the USA, banks and officials took away wealthy farms from farmers. 4 Often in the West we hear about the terrible word GULAG. But in fact, the Gulags were labor camps; most of them contained traitors and criminals; there were no more than 20 percent of political prisoners. In the USA they often keep silent that they had their own Gulags and in the USA it was not prisoners who ended up in them, but the unemployed, homeless people and people disliked by the authorities, these people lived in more terrible conditions than what happened in Russia. Many people died in the USA in these camps, most of them hunger, these people built various US megaprojects. Here is a reverse story that the West is trying not to talk about, but turns such moments around and blames Russia for it.
Hi, from New Zealand, enjoying your trips and information that is given, keep on trucking you guys, all three, are bloody good value....kia kaha....kia kaha...stay strong
Thank you for the video, I travelled here in 1997, by the trans Siberian from Moscow, the city looks very different. I remember the russian fleet and going on a submarine ( on the land) It really felt like I was at the end of the world, I then flew back to Moscow. I'm English and was a social work volunteer there.
Russia 1997 and Russia 2024 are completely different countries. Russia in 1997 is Russia when it was robbed by all Western and other countries, including corrupt officials. And today this is a new Russia that has been reborn and is being revived, intensive construction is underway in every region of Russia and even in Moi, which is truly at the end of the world, 3.30 hours flight from the USA and Japan. It is much further east and north than Vladivostok

In terms of infrastructure and life, Russia 20 years ago and today are completely different countries for the better. And yes, you are right, we have 197 major nationalities and more than 300 minor ones, they are of different religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and others) and different races from Europeans to Arabs and Asians, and you know, all these nationalities are united by one people, this is the Russian people who are an older brother to the younger ones and as an older brother he must always protect them no matter what. And you also know that all these people have been living for centuries on their native land and in one country called Russia
Great video! You made me falling in love with Vladivostok only by me watching this video. I definitely have to visit this city one day, looks so beautiful.

Мой любимый город. Родилась тут и живу уже 41 год. Переезжать даже мысли не возникало. Владивосток со мной навсегда❤очень люблю наше приморье за невероятную природу, разнообразие морских деликатесов и душевных людей
Vladivostok is not the end of Russia - there's still about four thousand kilometers to North East. The end of Russia is small town called Uelen on the shore of the Bering Straight.
You can’t leave us hanging with the “don’t ask” comment…lol!! 😂 Always love your videos!! I get so wrapped in the videos, it’s an amazing feeling to see things I would otherwise never get to see! ❤
Last year when I was in Russia I did the Trans Siberian Journey, landed in Moscow, boarded the Krasnaya Strela train from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Took the Sapsan train from St.Petersburg to Moscow. For rest of my journey I traveled in Platzkart, Moscow to Kazan, Kazan to Yekaterinburg, Yekaterinburg to Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk to Irkutsk, Irkutsk to Ulan-Ude and finally from Ulan-Ude to Vladivostok. It was a wonderful journey, ate in Stolovayas, visited the beautiful Lake Baikal from Irkutsk. I also got chance to run 10 KM in Vladivostok International Marathon VII 2023, running over Zolotoy bridge, saw the old USSR T-34 tank at Park Pebody (Victory Park) in Vladivostok, T-34 was used against German forces. Getting down on the stations to stretch my legs and breath some fresh air and try to buy some food on longer stops Krasnoyarsk, Khabarovsk, Chita and locals trying to smoke as much as they can before getting inside the train again. Took the Aeroflot flight from Vladivostok to Sheremetyevo(Moscow) and finally back to India. I just had 16 day e-Visa and I guess, I used it well. I had good conversation with locals and couple of Babushka I met on the trains. When I mentioned I was reading a book on Gulag, Babushkas immediately mentioned Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. All the trains were on time, which is very helpful. During my entire journey the timezone changed 4 times (Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Vladivostok). Hope Traffic situation will improve in Vladivostok. Russia Kharasho ❤
Кстати о Солженицыне: не знаю, известно ли Вам, что его в ГУЛАГе удачно прооперировали от рака, и долечили на воле так, что он смог прожить до глубокой старости.
Are you from India? Even I am from India i am planning to do trans Siberian journey this year end or next year beginning, why only 16 days visa? I thought Russian visa is for 30 days

@@nevagerber2434 Владивосток - уникальный и небольшой город с гигантскими доходами, 90% которых уходят в гос.бюджет. Его странно сравнивать с такими гигантскими мегаполисами, как ЛЭ и Нью-Йорк.

No clue how I ended up at your channel but just love it. You guys are authentic, kind, informative, mildy and lovely lightly amateuristic (is that a word) and really heartfelt. I will keep watching and I'd love to travel Russia one day myself. Greets from a Dutch dude in Prague. xox
Thank you guys for this amazing video. Vladik seems so far away from us here in Brazil. Although, we, generally speaking, have very strong and fruitful relations with Russia. We usually catch the idea of a Muscovite Russia. So, after having watched your video, one can understand the vastness of the Russian territory. And, at the same time, as it happens in Brazil, the country’s huge size does not affect or diminishes the national identity. Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for filming this! I recommend visiting Vladivostok in autumn (Sep-Oct). You will guaranteed fall in love with it.. Also there is plenty of spectacular places there beside the now closed viewpoint. One of which for example is a newly built Nagorniy Park. Its an absolutely special city. Mariinsky theatre is worth visiting too :) Sending you lots of love, cheers.
Не ну по нашим то понятиям, согласен , рядом. Как говорится для бешеной собаки и сто верст не крюк, учитывая море и проливы. Но гордость берет , это же надо такую территорию освоить и обустроить !
What a beautiful city, love the landscape, the architecture is so nice , simply beautiful!!!! It has a San Francisco vibe, sort of, without the homeless!!!
Since childhood, I have heard that Vladivostok is the Russian San Francisco. It seems that this comparison was made in 1959 by Khrushchev. I myself live in Vladivostok. In 2006, I had a chance to visit San Francisco, and I realized that, apart from the terrain, it was not similar to Vladivostok. We don't have such a pronounced Latin American component. But the suburbs where we went on a bus tour - yes! Very similar to the south of Primorye.
So many places in Russia look so incredible - I wish it was easier to travel there as a European at the moment. The two of you seem so nice and I really like your content, but what really makes the video the best is the appearance of Lera, she's so lovely. Let us know if she ever starts doing her own content because I'd really love to see it. I wish you all the best!
@@j.k.1239 I'm in the UK and looking to visit Russia later this year. With sanctions do you know how to book accommodation and pay any required deposit from here? As I understand it you need accommodation booked to apply for visa?
Wow so Beautiful and exciting city 👌❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your so wellmade and informative video with the spice of your Lovely personalities❤ Love it! Look much forward to your next vlog Journey on the Transsibirean railway ❤
I really want to visit Vladivostok! I'm from Vladikavkaz) just as Vladivostok is also called Vladik for short, so our city Vladikavkaz is called Vladik
Loved the video. What an interesting city seemingly on the edge of the world. It really is hard to imagine such a “European” city in the Far East. Still the remoteness and the geography remind me a little of Anchorage, Alaska. BTW, loving the slightly longer format.
In reality this is not the case. There are many cities in the Far East and they are all European, and in Siberia there are also many cities and they are also European. For example, Irkutsk was at one time called the Siberian Paris. And Vladivostok is also a southern city and far from the easternmost (by the way, a new modern city is being built nearby, a 30-minute drive from Vladivostok). The same Khabarovsk European and other smaller cities. Further east than Vladivostok is Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, on the same line only in the north is Magadan, even further east and north is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and even further east and north is Anadyr. Cities such as Petropavlovsk-K, Anadyr, Yelizovo and others can be classified as cities like Anchorage (by the way, 2 years ago there were direct flights of only 3 hours and 30 minutes from Petropavlovsk, but the same as to Japan, the only difference is that there is a land connection with the rest of the country there is virtually no, while Anchorage has it, and most of the cities in the Far East were closed cities even for citizens of the USSR, only people could enter them by invitation or for work, service, and this was until 1992 for residents of Russia and until 1993-4 for foreigners
Wonder if there is any problem visiting Vladivostok as tourist with a U.S. passport now with all the diplomatic tensions relating to the war in Ukraine.
@@hank4920 No and never has been / Such problems are created only by the USA and Western countries for Russian tourists.Because Western countries are waging war against the Russian people, and Russia is waging war only against the government of Western countries.And it was the Western countries that started this, it always lasted on their part
@@hank4920 не думаю, что есть проблемы, Matt (из видео) из Великобритании и путешествует по всей России свободно. В больших городах также у нас постоянно проживает много экспертов из Америки, Европы и других стран.
I love Vladivostok! As a Seafarer, we always travel to Vladivostok to take Russian Coal and deliver it to Japan. I love Russia so much. The people are incredibly warm and never have I experience even a little bit of racism in there.
There's not much racism in Russia. Russia is a huge country with 195 nationalities. And regular russians are kind, despite bad stigma on being not friendly
That crab looks delicious. It looks quite similar to what we call Alaskan King Crab in the US. I wonder if it's the same species. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure!
Great video and glad you guys got to visit. Well done! I'm absolutely fascinated by this city. As an American, I doubt I'll ever get to visit, so I'll have to live vicariously through videos like this.
The area has a much deeper history than what it seems to be. The area originally belonged to people in Manchuria. Then Koreans took it over about 2000 years ago, then Han Chinese after they united China, then went back to Manchuria again, became a part of China after Manchuria reunited China, and finally now Russia. Vladivostok has a beautiful Summer, and whatever the history has been, Russians did a good job in developing the beautiful modern coastal city.
It is reminiscent of San Francisco. Not at all what I expected, certainly more beautiful. Does your sisters journey end in Russia? Wiki she be staying there? What an incredible gift you gave her. Her life is forever changed. The last time I was in Russia(20 years ago) in Moscow and St P, everyone was pretty hostile towards us(American). I had been there before in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and the opposite was true. It seems that is case again. Maybe I should try another time include Vlad. Great video, as always!

In terms of infrastructure and life, Russia 20 years ago and today are completely different countries for the better.
And yes, you are right, we have 197 major nationalities and more than 300 minor ones, they are of different religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and others) and different races from Europeans to Arabs and Asians, and you know, all these nationalities are united by one people, this is the Russian people who are an older brother to the younger ones and as an older brother he must always protect them no matter what. And you also know that all these people have been living for centuries on their native land and in one country called Russia
Да, запад не изжил своего расизма.
Ооо, как это было давно! За эти годы, произошло много изменений в стране и Россия стала ещё лучше..!
I agree with you!
We from Europe do not need Russia.
What a beautiful and informative video, you take me to places I can only dream of visiting, thank you. Stay safe 🏴🇬🇧🌷🌷
Amazing video. Thank you very much
Looks like you had amazing weather . I can feel the atmosphere as if I was there. Thank you . I liked the music too . Dreamy and relaxed .

What a stunning city it looks like. Beautiful and very atmsopheric video, thanks once again for sharing. Now I want Kamsjatka Crab!❤
This seems like such a unique, interesting city!
Really glad you enjoyed the video ❤️🥰
Love Julia’s face after the funicular ride, realising the viewpoint was closed haha 😀
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
卧槽 真漂亮 The natural scenery is beautiful
Great video! You made me falling in love with Vladivostok only by me watching this video. I definitely have to visit this city one day, looks so beautiful.
Really glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼❤️
It's not even 25% of the potential it has. You were shown only the best of the best places, another 80% look different, rundown , dimn and old , but I love Vladivostok so much anyway:0, just saying it would have been much better if the authorities really wanted it:(
Thankyou for another beautiful tour!❤
Beautiful city! Reminds me of San Francisco and little bit of Sydney Australia.

This city was so beautiful and had a unique charm to it. I feel like visiting Vladivostok now. You guys had an awesome time. 😍🤩
welcome
I could go from Montana, USA to Alaska then by boat to Vladivostok, would be an amazing trip. But only in my dreams.
@@joycehaines2055 unfortunately I guess you cant get to Vladivostok by your own boat from Alaska ) But let me know if you will have got to Vlad by another way
Thank you for your beautiful and impressive documentary. Greetings from Vienna
Really enjoyed this video!!!🤍💙❤️ I 'd love to do the trans Siberian rail someday
Hello from Vladivostok, thanks for this video!!
Love your content keep up the good work❤
Thank you! ❤️
As always, a highly entertaining video. Keep safe guys 😊😊👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Nigel! ❤️🙏🏼
I was a glorious trip. Thanks for taking us along❤
Мой любимый город. Родилась тут и живу уже 41 год. Переезжать даже мысли не возникало. Владивосток со мной навсегда❤очень люблю наше приморье за невероятную природу, разнообразие морских деликатесов и душевных людей
Vladivostok is not the end of Russia - there's still about four thousand kilometers to North East. The end of Russia is small town called Uelen on the shore of the Bering Straight.
Same way Uelen can be beginning. The Light from East
Are you from Siberia?
Çok güzel teşekkürler gezip paylaştığınız için
You can’t leave us hanging with the “don’t ask” comment…lol!! 😂 Always love your videos!! I get so wrapped in the videos, it’s an amazing feeling to see things I would otherwise never get to see! ❤
Last year when I was in Russia I did the Trans Siberian Journey, landed in Moscow, boarded the Krasnaya Strela train from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
Took the Sapsan train from St.Petersburg to Moscow.
For rest of my journey I traveled in Platzkart, Moscow to Kazan, Kazan to Yekaterinburg, Yekaterinburg to Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk to Irkutsk, Irkutsk to Ulan-Ude and finally from Ulan-Ude to Vladivostok.
It was a wonderful journey, ate in Stolovayas, visited the beautiful Lake Baikal from Irkutsk. I also got chance to run 10 KM in Vladivostok International Marathon VII 2023, running over Zolotoy bridge, saw the old USSR T-34 tank at Park Pebody (Victory Park) in Vladivostok, T-34 was used against German forces.
Getting down on the stations to stretch my legs and breath some fresh air and try to buy some food on longer stops Krasnoyarsk, Khabarovsk, Chita and locals trying to smoke as much as they can before getting inside the train again.
Took the Aeroflot flight from Vladivostok to Sheremetyevo(Moscow) and finally back to India. I just had 16 day e-Visa and I guess, I used it well.
I had good conversation with locals and couple of Babushka I met on the trains. When I mentioned I was reading a book on Gulag, Babushkas immediately mentioned Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
All the trains were on time, which is very helpful.
During my entire journey the timezone changed 4 times (Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Vladivostok).
Hope Traffic situation will improve in Vladivostok. Russia Kharasho ❤
Кстати о Солженицыне: не знаю, известно ли Вам, что его в ГУЛАГе удачно прооперировали от рака, и долечили на воле так, что он смог прожить до глубокой старости.
@@Olga-de3ru I didn't know about this thing.
Вы отлично провели время в путешествии, и оно останется в памяти,у вас навсегда, приезжайте ещё,. всегда приятно читать добрые комментарии
Such a cool journey
Are you from India? Even I am from India i am planning to do trans Siberian journey this year end or next year beginning, why only 16 days visa? I thought Russian visa is for 30 days
Such a beautiful city.
❤ Beautiful city.❤
I was surprised to see that this looked like any other modern city around the world. Interesting video.

@@kadya1712 Нью-Йорк или Лос-Анджелес, к примеру, тоже весьма обшарпанный во многих местах, еще и бомжи, мусор и крысы кругом.

Thank you guys for this amazing video. Vladik seems so far away from us here in Brazil. Although, we, generally speaking, have very strong and fruitful relations with Russia. We usually catch the idea of a Muscovite Russia. So, after having watched your video, one can understand the vastness of the Russian territory. And, at the same time, as it happens in Brazil, the country’s huge size does not affect or diminishes the national identity. Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for filming this! I recommend visiting Vladivostok in autumn (Sep-Oct). You will guaranteed fall in love with it.. Also there is plenty of spectacular places there beside the now closed viewpoint. One of which for example is a newly built Nagorniy Park. Its an absolutely special city. Mariinsky theatre is worth visiting too :) Sending you lots of love, cheers.
С Узбекистана огромный привет😘🥰😍 мы любим тебя ВЛАДИВОСТОК❤💯👍✊

What a beautiful city, love the landscape, the architecture is so nice , simply beautiful!!!! It has a San Francisco vibe, sort of, without the homeless!!!
Vladivostok is a brothercity to San Francisco
@@denistru8364 I read San Diego rather than San Francisco.
Like San Francisco without the fentanyl zombies and street 💩!
Since childhood, I have heard that Vladivostok is the Russian San Francisco. It seems that this comparison was made in 1959 by Khrushchev. I myself live in Vladivostok. In 2006, I had a chance to visit San Francisco, and I realized that, apart from the terrain, it was not similar to Vladivostok. We don't have such a pronounced Latin American component. But the suburbs where we went on a bus tour - yes! Very similar to the south of Primorye.
@@alexsyritsyn6307 Yeah, I think everyone is referring to the terrain.
Amazing place! Would too go there.
❤Good, appetit❤.
WOOOW THE CITY IS SO BEAUTIFUL ❤

So many places in Russia look so incredible - I wish it was easier to travel there as a European at the moment.

An incredibly beautiful city , wow , not expected , great tour guys ...😊😘
NICE CITY, СПАСИБО FOR THE VIDEO, HOPE TO VISIT SOON.
I really want to visit Vladivostok! I'm from Vladikavkaz) just as Vladivostok is also called Vladik for short, so our city Vladikavkaz is called Vladik
Loved the video. What an interesting city seemingly on the edge of the world. It really is hard to imagine such a “European” city in the Far East. Still the remoteness and the geography remind me a little of Anchorage, Alaska. BTW, loving the slightly longer format.
In reality this is not the case. There are many cities in the Far East and they are all European, and in Siberia there are also many cities and they are also European. For example, Irkutsk was at one time called the Siberian Paris. And Vladivostok is also a southern city and far from the easternmost (by the way, a new modern city is being built nearby, a 30-minute drive from Vladivostok). The same Khabarovsk European and other smaller cities. Further east than Vladivostok is Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, on the same line only in the north is Magadan, even further east and north is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and even further east and north is Anadyr. Cities such as Petropavlovsk-K, Anadyr, Yelizovo and others can be classified as cities like Anchorage (by the way, 2 years ago there were direct flights of only 3 hours and 30 minutes from Petropavlovsk, but the same as to Japan, the only difference is that there is a land connection with the rest of the country there is virtually no, while Anchorage has it, and most of the cities in the Far East were closed cities even for citizens of the USSR, only people could enter them by invitation or for work, service, and this was until 1992 for residents of Russia and until 1993-4 for foreigners
Wonder if there is any problem visiting Vladivostok as tourist with a U.S. passport now with all the diplomatic tensions relating to the war in Ukraine.
@@hank4920 No and never has been / Such problems are created only by the USA and Western countries for Russian tourists.Because Western countries are waging war against the Russian people, and Russia is waging war only against the government of Western countries.And it was the Western countries that started this, it always lasted on their part
@@hank4920по туристической визе можно находится в России до 30 дней.
@@hank4920 не думаю, что есть проблемы, Matt (из видео) из Великобритании и путешествует по всей России свободно. В больших городах также у нас постоянно проживает много экспертов из Америки, Европы и других стран.
I love Vladivostok! As a Seafarer, we always travel to Vladivostok to take Russian Coal and deliver it to Japan. I love Russia so much.
The people are incredibly warm and never have I experience even a little bit of racism in there.
There's not much racism in Russia. Russia is a huge country with 195 nationalities. And regular russians are kind, despite bad stigma on being not friendly
I can't speak for everyone, but I can say that racist remarks are a joke.
Thank you for inviting me along on your journey. So much life to live. At 80 now I’m really glad for you tube.
That crab looks delicious. It looks quite similar to what we call Alaskan King Crab in the US. I wonder if it's the same species. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure!
I just looked it up. It is the same! It's also called red king crab. Cheers!
Wow! Well that increased our interest in visiting Alaska even further 😍 So glad you enjoyed the vid! ❤️
The Russian and American boats pretty much fish side by side in the Bering sea for these crabs
Если учесть, что Аляска была тоже частью России, то...😂

Thank you so much for sharing your travels l really enjoy seeing parts that l have heard of but never been to keep it up all the best for the future.
The area has a much deeper history than what it seems to be. The area originally belonged to people in Manchuria. Then Koreans took it over about 2000 years ago, then Han Chinese after they united China, then went back to Manchuria again, became a part of China after Manchuria reunited China, and finally now Russia. Vladivostok has a beautiful Summer, and whatever the history has been, Russians did a good job in developing the beautiful modern coastal city.
А ты сам откуда? Ты на что намекаешь? Надеюсь ты не будешь спорить, что земля, где ты живёшь тоже когда-то принадлежала неандертельцам
became part of Mongol empire as well

It is reminiscent of San Francisco. Not at all what I expected, certainly more beautiful.
Does your sisters journey end in Russia? Wiki she be staying there? What an incredible gift you gave her. Her life is forever changed.
The last time I was in Russia(20 years ago) in Moscow and St P, everyone was pretty hostile towards us(American). I had been there before in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and the opposite was true. It seems that is case again. Maybe I should try another time include Vlad. Great video, as always!
А в чем, собственно проявлялась враждебность? Просто 20 лет назад Россия была крайне проамериканской страной.
В России нет враждебности ни к кому.
Простые люди относятся к иностранцам с большим интересом и доброжелательно, молодые люди многие хорошо говорят по-английски. Страна очень изменилась в лучшую сторону за 20 лет, приезжайте - не пожалеете. Просто избегайте политические темы и все.
