Сэм, когда занимаете очередь надо спросить кто последний. Когда он ответит, сказать что вы за ним("Тогда я за вами буду"). А потом спросить у него за кем он и запомнить этого человека. Потому что тот кто был последний может решить что ему очень долго ждать и он придёт в другой раз и забудет поставить вас в известность о своём решении. И вы можете потерять свою очередь.
It is significantly easier to visit Russia for a month or a year then, say, Japan, because of the standart of living. You can use your savings from an avarage job in th west 3 times more efficient in Russia and on the conrary you'll have to save 10 times more to get comparable amount of services in Japan!
Nice video Sam and interesting facts. I'll soon be travelling to "Provincial Russia" for my first Russian New Year celebration. Near a town called Dmitriyev in, I believe, the Kursk Oblast. It should be fun despite the cold and snow which normally I can do without.
the checkout story where everybody is racing to get at the front of the queue at a new checkout, that could also be in Germany. We are as disciplined as the British when we are in a queue but as soon as a new queue opens there is total mayhem 🤣

I like the videos about differences in "good manners" - how to be polite in Russia & how to avoid being rude. Also when Russians don't respond appropriately to our good manners "they're just being Russian" - similar tolerance with us. "They just being English"- but I found attempts to learn their ways really "oiled the cogs."
Love your content Sam! It is always so nice, as you tell us what happens in Russia in a very relaxing way. I find that queuing is respectful towards those in front of us. Wow!

Hi Sam, glad you are enjoying the new year weather. It appears that your footwear is inadequate. Buy some snow boots, frostbite is real. Always take care of your feet and your back, life is miserable when pain is constant. Also, as a retired mechanic, you have a difficult and expensive vehicle to fix. I don't know much about Russian auto sales, maybe that could be a video topic. I am always willing to learn new stuff. It is -10c here and 60kph wind. Stay warm and have a nice day!
Hi mate, I’ll have a think about how to make the video. I have some boots, I pick and choose between which ones I wear. The boots I wore in this video have fur lining and I wear woolly socks too. I’m really careful with my feat and I apply creams.

One time during Christmas in Astrakhan, I was sent to get a special bread in a store. It was maybe 200 people in line to buy this bread. I applied the tactic I learned in Walt Disney, magic kingdom, Orlando. Since the line was several people wide, I had to tactically make sure I'm always on the inside of curves. I cut about 50 people doing that. It works wonders in airport security ques as well!

Hi mate! Glad you like the channel. It’s been difficult to film every day and upload. The other channel makes me a little bit of money but this one brings me pennies. Who would you like to see in the videos?
17:40 Vostochny Express / Orient Express is just the name of the car service center... The Russian font style used in the name slightly resembles Chinese characters.
Engine light is constantly on. In the last six month I’ve replaced the pistons, coils, spark plugs, membrane, compressors, valves… I’m sure there is something else I’m forgetting
Я думаю, они подразумевают российские номера, но без триколора. С некоторой времени появилась мода не такие номера. Думаете, сервис не станет обслуживать машину из братской Беларуси?
In Patagonia this happens and more around every 10, 11, years, My mother and her siblings inherited a farm, and it was 25 Kms away from the next town and when they wanted to go to a big city on the coast they would connect whit other people by radio and go in caravan because there is a meset over 1.000 mts over the sea Papma Castillo, that if something happened to you there alone, nowhere to go around with a meter or two of snow.
Such a great video, really like the winterscape and snow. An underground car wash and service garage all-in-one location. Great idea. I understand the queueing system. The social ‘norms’ are differing. I still think they are fine folks. In Britain, the car wash staff do it, but they are not undercover - and the usually Kurdish or Romanian car wash people - have all the cars in a line. Sam you look after your voice, it sounds a wee bit hoarse. Look after yourself. Plenty hot drinks. I am right glad your car is getting serviced. I am noticing quite a few Cayenne vehicles here, 2 diesel variants and 1 petrol is for sale also. The gentleman in the pea coat at 17 minutes looks a fine sort. The other driver/ customer. The sign reads ‘Mobil centre’ - ‘Autoservice’. I can’t see an Eastern connection, unless he changes the fuses & the scented tree with chopsticks. _/laughs/_ Really really great video upload Sam.
🤣🤣🤣 the car wash is really only for people who are taking their car to be serviced, all the snow would melt and flood the garage! In other car washes they have an orderly quint system and a cafeteria to wait inside.
Michigan winter here - sometimes we can climb out of second floor windows in winter. That is very little snow! A Porsche would not do well here -- too low to the ground! - and car washes have trouble here -- the water lines freeze and ice forms all around so you cannot drive without sliding. The U.S. is more like Russian than Great Britain!
@@robertholland7558Обычно главное - это центральное отопление (батареи), а в качестве вспомогательного - электрокалориферы (но у нас в одной комнате оно из-за недомогания свекрови уже давно постоянное). В зале у нас сейчас тоже работает (услышала шум электрокалорифера с вентилятором, муж включил пока спала). В межсезонье тоже включаем, а пока мы ещё не отрегулировали на зиму стеклопакеты, но, может, и не будем (пусть лучше идёт "мелкощелевое проветривание", всегда можно подогреть, это не особо дорого, по карману не бьёт).

I thought you will quote Lord Montgomery of Alamein 1887-1976 British field marshal Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: ‘Do not march on Moscow’…[Rule 2] is: ‘Do not go fighting with your land armies in China.’
Interesting to know! This gets people talking to each other, too. Be careful walking on the road! That looks slippery! I'd like to see some details about the cars over there, the Russian cars. I love cars and it would be interesting to see under the hood. Any car racing over there? Any tracks to race on there? Seems you need some higher boots for that snow! Stay warm!
I have an idea for some videos, although a bit morbid or strange? What does a Russian funeral look like? Or a wedding? It sounds kind of crazy but they are unique topics. Or you could just cover a beauty pageant? 😂. Great content mate and you are appreciated 👍🏻✌🏻
@@SamsRussianAdventures the pageant as male viewers love the birds and it could be good viewing for a wedding as surely it is much different than in the west.
What's the protocol for the queue jumping when it occurs as it did? Does the person who was ahead of another in the queue generally trouble themselves to go tell the other person who jumped the line that another was actually the person behind them, or does one not bother to unless the person who was actually behind them seeks the help in telling the queue jumper that there was somebody else in line behind them?
The Soviet style of queuing is a separate type of torture. Previously, you could come to the hospital for example and wait 6-8 hours. And a dozen people always came “just to ask.”
Just waited 8 and a half hours to see a doctor at my hospital in Canada. Some friends of mine had to take their toddler in and they waited over 10 hours.
Да, друзья, у нас бывают снежные зимы) и у всех русских высокие ботинки с мехом или валенки или угги на полке на этот случай. В прошли году и снега то не было 😂
Not hard but depending on what part I need it can be expensive. Porsche is a very popular car here but since Porsche have now left Russia, original parts can be expensive.
Yes! I walked there today to collect the car and realised that I can walk through the supermarket to warm up and come out of the other side nearer to the garage!
That is an excellent queuing system, it wouldnt work in the western countries, people there would never talk to strangers every time they arrive to the queue.
let me try a wild guess: you bought Valenki? PS. You know you deal with some serious auto service center if they provide you with free car washing, no need to waste your time in a queue (if you are British) or a line (if you are American)
Usually I get to the service before they open and just drop off the key! Then they need to clean it themselves!!!! Not Valenki! But something along those lines!!!
Interesting video. I’ve been living in France now for 30+ years and have been thinking if we have that type of queuing system. The frogs have their own querks but I think that we’re somewhere between the russkies and brits. More like the brits, I suppose. Kinda self-policing.
Now, the registration can be done online. It's great! They also have that new office where you can pay taxes, register a marriage or pay utilities all in one place. It's so convenient.
ohh, interesting! I was in Moscow last year and we registered at a special office. The second time I entered in August 2023 and we registered in the same office. They told that the rules had changed and to use a computer. I was registered online at one of their computers and we got a little worried because we had to wait for approval. It was 5 days later and we got the confirmation and my girlfriend printed the registration at her job. @@SamsRussianAdventures
I'm an expirinced bike driver and when i drive my bike in the way as in UK, but i alway see this USSR heritage when a peson is worried to move along the traffic and goes towards the traffic. Some time we drive towards to each other, i try to keep the rightest side of the road and make worried face and sight at him givin a this brake ruller undastand that hу is just breaking the rules. Actully In russia we have to foolow the rule and go on the bike along the traffic
I will go out on a limb and say you got your snow plower. 😜😅 So you park your car away from your home with lots of snow. Do you ever worry about it getting broke into? Car theft or vandalism is an issue in America. I keep my car in the driveway but i also have a camera system setup in case someone comes onto the property to saw off my catalytic converter. I know how much you love icicles. I am surprised you grabbed one. Your's and Milenia's superstition of icicles always is funny. 😅 That que system looks like a pain in the butt especially for those that are parked on the sides and need to get out. Argueing on who is next on the line for a car wash in winter. 🤷🤦🤣 The ghostbusters no entry sign was creative. 😁 I would like to see a veterinarian video with you and your cat. I will think of other topics but its almost time for me to hit the hay. Its 0439 in the morning. 😉 Tea snd cake sounds wonderful. 😁
I actually have a video of going to the vet clinic with my cat! The video only got about 200 views!!! Haha, I’ll need to buy something else now because you are expecting the snowplough!!! The Que system always causes arguments. The one guy said he pushed in because he needed to have his car cleaned before entering the services, but we all required that!!! About the car, I don’t like parking it away from my house but my gates won’t open if there is too much snow. They were designed poorly. All of my neighbours have a sliding gate, mine opens outwards. Luckily the car is insured and the criminals would need to clean the ice and snow from the windows before stealing it!
@@SamsRussianAdventures oh makes sense now. I saw one video as 1 day ago and another 17 hours ago and thought to myself maybe the clever British man created a time travel device in provincial Russia .
What a stupid system for car service: in normal places you need to make an appointment in advance and they will tell you what time you need to arrive. This is not a queue for bread or a queue to simply change tires in the fall and spring. 🤔🤔
I know it can be a pain in the ass, and it's cold, and it can be dangerous, but I just love the snow. A good layer of snow can make even the drabbest place a bit cheerier and more beautiful. I used to live in a place where it snowed in the wintertime and I loved it, except when I had to shovel the damned driveway! At the store I shop at, if they open a new register, the cashier will walk up to the person next in line and advise them.
That’s great that the store will do that! They don’t care here! The just shout that the checkout is open! Snow is great apart from the shovelling! As you said!
Hi Sam,it's not always like that, I stay one time in a shop in the queue, but some gay just passed everybody straight too the counter, nobody says anything, not one word.😮
Sam my friend andI have two questions for you. Is it impossible to receive mail from the UK to Russia. The second one, why didn't not take your bicycle with you the car, when it was dropped off. Your journey back home on bike, would have solved the problem.

If you had moved to Canada you could have the same weather "experience", without having to learn Russian and, I suppose less trouble with cleaning the snow.🙃

@Sam Many of us grew up in weather like this. It is not very interesting to us. In Montana were I grew up, it could be 72 F and in a few hours be -35 F. In winter we would have -100 F wind-chill, that will freeze your lungs, if you breath it straight in. You have to cover your face and mouth. What I am saying is this. The reason I clicked on this video is this >>>" Learn THIS RULE before it's too late " 23 Minutes is a very long time, Bruh. Maybe tell us about "Learn THIS RULE before it's too late" first. This way people that like snow can keep watching. And people like me can say Thank You and click like, then move on. BTW I have a Love/Hate relationship with snow and cold weather. I love it when I am playing in it, and I hate, Hate. HATE! it when I am working in it. 😃😆🤣
@@Sergey_Bezhentsev you're telling me. Anyone can land on our beaches. Boats filled with 30-40 people land in California beaches all the time unchallenged.

@@Sergey_Bezhentsev I don't even have a passport or visa. Most Americans can't even leave this country without them. Takes money and fees to get those things and most Americans would much rather spend their money on food and rent. Usually nothing left for unnecessary fees from government just to travel. I am able to freely travel inside the United States but without a passport I'm not allowed to leave this country.
@@Sergey_Bezhentsev it would be nice to travel. I wish I could. But even if I applied for a passport I need to wait to be approved. Basically pay for privileges. Nothing is free on the US for US citizens.
just stand in the queue and make people pay 50 rubles, so they can skip to your spot in the line.. ( maybe a good way to make a living for the first days living in Russia )
@@SamsRussianAdventuresthats insane. How much taxes do you pay to drive your car? Do yiu need to pay on the highway in russia? Would be an interesting video
@@timothy6893 Russia has a very stupid car tax system: the more horsepower your car has, the more taxes you have to pay. If you have more than 250 horsepower, then you are paying a lot. Therefore, smart companies in Russia wrote in documents for expensive cars that they have 249 horsepower, so that more people would buy them. 😅😅
Transport tax rates in the Vladimir region in 2023: Passenger cars [up to 100 hp ] 20 rub. / hp Passenger cars [from 100.01 hp up to 150 hp ] 30 rub. / hp Passenger cars [from 150.01 hp up to 200 hp ] 40 rub. / hp Passenger cars [from 200.01 hp up to 250 hp ] 75 rub. / hp Passenger cars [from 250.01 hp up to 5000 hp ] 150 rub. / hp Motorcycles and scooters [up to 20 hp ] 2 rub. / hp Motorcycles and scooters [from 20.01 hp up to 35 hp ] 5 rub. / hp Motorcycles and scooters [from 35.01 hp up to 5000 hp ] 20 rub. / hp 100 rub. = $1 approx Just imagine a man who save $200 per year in taxes with fake 249 hp. papers :)
@@timothy6893 That is, in Sam's small town the tax on a Porsche Cayenne Diesel is $200. And the tax on Porsche Cayenne gasoline is $500, due to the fact that the gasoline version has more horsepower. 😅😅
Мы Русские сами хотим понравится, достаточно быть искренним и будет конект. Главное, когда пьёте с Русскими, в тот момент, когда пьяные Русские, начнут ругать Россию, не нужно с ними соглашаться 😂
You need permission but if they are on a public place and they get on the camera then there is not much you can do. I guess there could be fights. As I said in the video, I have seen fights in the past.
What a shit show in regards to getting your car washed and serviced. All of this is so simple in Canada that a 3 year old child can figure it out, in this case Russia is in the DARK AGES....BTW we get lots of snow in my town of North Eastern Ontario CANADA, and we are 'Set-up' for fast snow removal, as most of Canada is.
Yes it’s pretty crazy. Probably about 15 cars needed to enter the services in that morning and all were required to be washed and dried before entering the services.

Hi mate! Glad you like the channel. It’s been difficult to film every day and upload. The other channel makes me a little bit of money but this one brings me pennies. Who would you like to see in the videos?
I solved the London visa queue in the old days of embassy submitted applications by arriving at 2am to be first for the 9am opening.
Wow! I remember going to the embassy! When the the visa form was only 1 page!
Thank you Sam! Wish u all the best!🎉
Thank you! You too!
17:40 Vostochny Express / Orient Express is just the name of the car service center... The Russian font style used in the name slightly resembles Chinese characters.
Well done! You are the first to get it! Or at least to comment!!!
Interesting. Good to know.

In Patagonia this happens and more around every 10, 11, years, My mother and her siblings inherited a farm, and it was 25 Kms away from the next town and when they wanted to go to a big city on the coast
they would connect whit other people by radio and go in caravan because there is a meset over 1.000 mts
over the sea Papma Castillo, that if something happened to you there alone, nowhere to go around with a meter or two of snow.
In Russia this happens often but everything carries on as normal because it’s not a surprise and we are prepared.
Such a great video, really like the winterscape and snow. An underground car wash and service garage all-in-one location. Great idea. I understand the queueing system. The social ‘norms’ are differing. I still think they are fine folks.
In Britain, the car wash staff do it, but they are not undercover - and the usually Kurdish or Romanian car wash people - have all the cars in a line.
Sam you look after your voice, it sounds a wee bit hoarse. Look after yourself. Plenty hot drinks.
I am right glad your car is getting serviced. I am noticing quite a few Cayenne vehicles here, 2 diesel variants and 1 petrol is for sale also.
The gentleman in the pea coat at 17 minutes looks a fine sort. The other driver/ customer.
The sign reads ‘Mobil centre’ - ‘Autoservice’.
I can’t see an Eastern connection, unless he changes the fuses & the scented tree with chopsticks. _/laughs/_
Really really great video upload Sam.
🤣🤣🤣 the car wash is really only for people who are taking their car to be serviced, all the snow would melt and flood the garage! In other car washes they have an orderly quint system and a cafeteria to wait inside.
Sam, Ksusha is beautiful! She is well behaved too.
She trusts me!!!
One inch of snow in the U.K. & it’s a national emergency.
Michigan winter here - sometimes we can climb out of second floor windows in winter. That is very little snow! A Porsche would not do well here -- too low to the ground! - and car washes have trouble here -- the water lines freeze and ice forms all around so you cannot drive without sliding. The U.S. is more like Russian than Great Britain!
Hi mate, they are extremely popular cars here in Russia. Wow! Thant is a lot of snow!!!!
Looking like a very cold and snowing time this year.
It will be fine once I get my coat back from the dry cleaners! My cat decided it was a great toilet
Global boiling they say…..and the governments here in Australia tell us to go easy on the air conditioner use…….. PS what do Russians use for heating?
@@robertholland7558Обычно главное - это центральное отопление (батареи), а в качестве вспомогательного - электрокалориферы (но у нас в одной комнате оно из-за недомогания свекрови уже давно постоянное). В зале у нас сейчас тоже работает (услышала шум электрокалорифера с вентилятором, муж включил пока спала). В межсезонье тоже включаем, а пока мы ещё не отрегулировали на зиму стеклопакеты, но, может, и не будем (пусть лучше идёт "мелкощелевое проветривание", всегда можно подогреть, это не особо дорого, по карману не бьёт).

Interesting to know! This gets people talking to each other, too. Be careful walking on the road! That looks slippery!
I'd like to see some details about the cars over there, the Russian cars. I love cars and it would be interesting to see under the hood. Any car racing over there? Any tracks to race on there?
Seems you need some higher boots for that snow! Stay warm!
I have an idea for some videos, although a bit morbid or strange? What does a Russian funeral look like? Or a wedding? It sounds kind of crazy but they are unique topics. Or you could just cover a beauty pageant? 😂. Great content mate and you are appreciated 👍🏻✌🏻
I could perhaps do a wedding! I’ve been to many weddings without the camera! I don’t think I could film a funeral.
@@SamsRussianAdventures the pageant as male viewers love the birds and it could be good viewing for a wedding as surely it is much different than in the west.
What's the protocol for the queue jumping when it occurs as it did? Does the person who was ahead of another in the queue generally trouble themselves to go tell the other person who jumped the line that another was actually the person behind them, or does one not bother to unless the person who was actually behind them seeks the help in telling the queue jumper that there was somebody else in line behind them?
The Soviet style of queuing is a separate type of torture. Previously, you could come to the hospital for example and wait 6-8 hours. And a dozen people always came “just to ask.”
6-8 часов, это, пожалуй, перебор. Но потратить 2-3 часа было обычное дело.
😂same in Serbia
Yes! I talked about that in the video! The same thing used to happen at immigration!
6-8 hrs is NHS emergency queues with triage.
Just waited 8 and a half hours to see a doctor at my hospital in Canada. Some friends of mine had to take their toddler in and they waited over 10 hours.

Hi Sam! The sign was "Восточный Экспресс" - Eastern Express - that's a name of car's service you visited
Yes! Or probably the orient express is the term used in English.
@@SamsRussianAdventures oh, thank you! ))
At Lidl here in the US, if a line opens up, you get over there as fast as possible.
Isn't it hard to get your Porsche properly serviced in Russia?
Not hard but depending on what part I need it can be expensive. Porsche is a very popular car here but since Porsche have now left Russia, original parts can be expensive.
That que system is good
i got cold feet from that walk back..
Yes! I walked there today to collect the car and realised that I can walk through the supermarket to warm up and come out of the other side nearer to the garage!
That is an excellent queuing system, it wouldnt work in the western countries, people there would never talk to strangers every time they arrive to the queue.
Haha yes!
let me try a wild guess: you bought Valenki?
PS. You know you deal with some serious auto service center if they provide you with free car washing, no need to waste your time in a queue (if you are British) or a line (if you are American)
Usually I get to the service before they open and just drop off the key! Then they need to clean it themselves!!!! Not Valenki! But something along those lines!!!
Interesting video. I’ve been living in France now for 30+ years and have been thinking if we have that type of queuing system.
The frogs have their own querks but I think that we’re somewhere between the russkies and brits. More like the brits, I suppose. Kinda self-policing.
Now, the registration can be done online. It's great! They also have that new office where you can pay taxes, register a marriage or pay utilities all in one place. It's so convenient.
I’m required to give my passport for a week while it’s done.
ohh, interesting! I was in Moscow last year and we registered at a special office. The second time I entered in August 2023 and we registered in the same office. They told that the rules had changed and to use a computer. I was registered online at one of their computers and we got a little worried because we had to wait for approval. It was 5 days later and we got the confirmation and my girlfriend printed the registration at her job. @@SamsRussianAdventures
Do you have winter tyres on,
Cross country skis lad it would be awesome
To the translator - - it is ‘queue’ not ‘que’.
Finally somebody mentioned it! Thanks!
I'm an expirinced bike driver and when i drive my bike in the way as in UK, but i alway see this USSR heritage when a peson is worried to move along the traffic and goes towards the traffic. Some time we drive towards to each other, i try to keep the rightest side of the road and make worried face and sight at him givin a this brake ruller undastand that hу is just breaking the rules. Actully In russia we have to foolow the rule and go on the bike along the traffic
I will go out on a limb and say you got your snow plower. 😜😅
So you park your car away from your home with lots of snow. Do you ever worry about it getting broke into? Car theft or vandalism is an issue in America. I keep my car in the driveway but i also have a camera system setup in case someone comes onto the property to saw off my catalytic converter.
I know how much you love icicles. I am surprised you grabbed one. Your's and Milenia's superstition of icicles always is funny. 😅
That que system looks like a pain in the butt especially for those that are parked on the sides and need to get out. Argueing on who is next on the line for a car wash in winter. 🤷🤦🤣
The ghostbusters no entry sign was creative. 😁
I would like to see a veterinarian video with you and your cat. I will think of other topics but its almost time for me to hit the hay. Its 0439 in the morning. 😉
Tea snd cake sounds wonderful. 😁
I actually have a video of going to the vet clinic with my cat! The video only got about 200 views!!!
Haha, I’ll need to buy something else now because you are expecting the snowplough!!!
The Que system always causes arguments. The one guy said he pushed in because he needed to have his car cleaned before entering the services, but we all required that!!!
About the car, I don’t like parking it away from my house but my gates won’t open if there is too much snow. They were designed poorly. All of my neighbours have a sliding gate, mine opens outwards. Luckily the car is insured and the criminals would need to clean the ice and snow from the windows before stealing it!

How did it go from so much snow in this video to almost clean and sunny in next video? Weather control device?
It was filmed in September!!! I filmed done interviews when the weather was better and I’m just editing them now!
@@SamsRussianAdventures oh makes sense now. I saw one video as 1 day ago and another 17 hours ago and thought to myself maybe the clever British man created a time travel device in provincial Russia .
That queue system certainly relies on civilised behaviour and mutual trust.
The snow sounds dry and crunchy. What’s the temperature?
-12
@@user-jd6ev6kz1y That’s not bad at all. We normally get about -20 but more moisture in the air.
@@squashdevicer когда идёт снег, тогда тепло. Тепло по нашим меркам
It’s between -10 and -15
The coldest I hade in Omsk/West Siberia in 2013 was minus 46 degree.Usualy around - 28 to - 34 degree.
I can't see the point of washing a car in those conditions? Is it the law
It’s because the car is going to the services and it’s not possible for the me mechanic to fix the car if it’s covered in dirt, mud and snow
What a stupid system for car service: in normal places you need to make an appointment in advance and they will tell you what time you need to arrive. This is not a queue for bread or a queue to simply change tires in the fall and spring. 🤔🤔
People come here to wash their car before taking their car inside the repair centre
In America it's first come first serve. No such thing as making reservations at a car wash.
Hey Same If you can why don’t you change ur car by old model Russian Lada truck 🛻 or Niva; I think is better for ice & difficult road !
I know it can be a pain in the ass, and it's cold, and it can be dangerous, but I just love the snow. A good layer of snow can make even the drabbest place a bit cheerier and more beautiful. I used to live in a place where it snowed in the wintertime and I loved it, except when I had to shovel the damned driveway! At the store I shop at, if they open a new register, the cashier will walk up to the person next in line and advise them.
That’s great that the store will do that! They don’t care here! The just shout that the checkout is open! Snow is great apart from the shovelling! As you said!
Hi Sam,it's not always like that, I stay one time in a shop in the queue, but some gay just passed everybody straight too the counter, nobody says anything, not one word.😮
I always argue with them! I’m for fairness and I can’t stand selfish people!
😊
Thanks mate!!!
😊😊😊
Sam my friend andI have two questions for you. Is it impossible to receive mail from the UK to Russia.
The second one, why didn't not take your bicycle with you the car, when it was dropped off.
Your journey back home on bike, would have solved the problem.
I’m sure it’s possible to send mail! Though I haven’t tried. With regards to the bike, it’s too icy and there is way too much snow to ride the bike!
Have you tried cycling in winter in ice and snow? Lol.

Кто последны? sums up Russian queueing.
It’s changing! But slowly!
@Sam Many of us grew up in weather like this. It is not very interesting to us.
In Montana were I grew up, it could be 72 F and in a few hours be -35 F. In winter we would have -100 F wind-chill, that will freeze your lungs, if you breath it straight in. You have to cover your face and mouth.
What I am saying is this. The reason I clicked on this video is this >>>" Learn THIS RULE before it's too late
" 23 Minutes is a very long time, Bruh. Maybe tell us about "Learn THIS RULE before it's too late" first.
This way people that like snow can keep watching. And people like me can say Thank You and click like, then move on.
BTW I have a Love/Hate relationship with snow and cold weather. I love it when I am playing in it, and I hate, Hate. HATE! it when I am working in it. 😃😆🤣
OK, a little over 5 minutes in, we started getting to the queue, Thank You Sam. Top of the day! to Ya!

@@SamsRussianAdventuresthats insane. How much taxes do you pay to drive your car? Do yiu need to pay on the highway in russia?
Would be an interesting video
@@timothy6893 Russia has a very stupid car tax system: the more horsepower your car has, the more taxes you have to pay. If you have more than 250 horsepower, then you are paying a lot. Therefore, smart companies in Russia wrote in documents for expensive cars that they have 249 horsepower, so that more people would buy them. 😅😅
Transport tax rates in the Vladimir region in 2023:
Passenger cars [up to 100 hp ] 20 rub. / hp
Passenger cars [from 100.01 hp up to 150 hp ] 30 rub. / hp
Passenger cars [from 150.01 hp up to 200 hp ] 40 rub. / hp
Passenger cars [from 200.01 hp up to 250 hp ] 75 rub. / hp

Motorcycles and scooters [up to 20 hp ] 2 rub. / hp
Motorcycles and scooters [from 20.01 hp up to 35 hp ] 5 rub. / hp
Motorcycles and scooters [from 35.01 hp up to 5000 hp ] 20 rub. / hp
100 rub. = $1 approx
Just imagine a man who save $200 per year in taxes with fake 249 hp. papers :)
@@timothy6893 That is, in Sam's small town the tax on a Porsche Cayenne Diesel is $200. And the tax on Porsche Cayenne gasoline is $500, due to the fact that the gasoline version has more horsepower. 😅😅
