Gareth Leonard this is such a great video it’s my first time here my aunt from the USA is your biggest fan 🥰 she literally is only subscribed to you and me (newbie KZfaqr) oh and by the way I have subscribed too love the content 👍👍👍 watching from 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

Thanks for map, Crimea- Ukraine

Yes Yes. We have a KGB agent in each house, a bag of cocaine, and one ballerina. All this is poured on top of caviar and vodka.

Gareth Leonard u see not much in my city 🥺

Good time to travel in SPB is in White Night season. It' s so fairy.Also there are so many touristic places on periferia such as Tsarskoe Selo(Puskin) , Vyborg and stuff. But .. Town contains so many beautiful places exept popular touristic routes: Finnish Bay ,Pulkovo Observatory

Спасибо, что оцениваете высоко нашу работу ! Мы рады стараться для гордости страны

был в Питере, не знал про тот музей... надо пилить туда еще раз.

да, я например не знала, что по каналам можно прокатиться на каяках.

I know right? It's more just that people have respect for strangers and only converse in an informal setting or if they feel it's welcomed. It might also be our stoic expressions. All of these are Slavic habits, but people think it's just a Russian thing and not just cultural differences.

(с) Расеянин

I think the thing is we don't have a culture of small talks here in Russia. Which is very important in Western culture. And this alone makes us look somewhat unfriendly and rude. It takes time to sort of learn about a new person, know someone better, etc.. And then it's all good, froendly and warm haha

dude, it nowhere near a lie, it's just nobody's going to showcase how rude and cold people are in a youtube tour video

@@dazzbourgh they could showcase it if it was the case, why not?. I went to Russia never had a problem, friendly people. also seen others youtubers go coast to coast and only encounter friendly people. Isnt your surname russian dude? hahaha

Да, это удача всей поездки, из 25 дней только 3 часа рабочего времени провели под дождем. Это очень круто, что даже в Приморье между двумя тайфунами успели отснять материалы.

6 часов, то есть.

KasianaLight Вот именно-

Был дважды в Питере, первый раз 8 дней, второй раз 4 дня. Оба раза было очень солнечно. Был один слепой дождь с радугой.

@@GarethLeonard "na zdorove" speak Russian then so pleased, after the word "thank you" you say "na zdorove (I wish you health)", but not when you drink vodka 🤷‍♂️

When you drink it's "Za zdorove", when you reply to "Thank you", it is "Na zdorove". Although, personally I don't drink. But when I did - "Za zdorovie" was very common, at least for gigs. Actually, you say that when you have nothing better to say or you wanna just drink and gotta say something in order to not seem like a complete alcoholic. Details, you know, important.

Dont be so unambiguous (about best city) . Not even best in Russia. Just nice one

Maks_wan of course it’s my personal opinion and I’m interested to learn yours and why , but having spent 30 years living and working all over Europe, and I have been in almost every city several times so I have a good idea about which cities are safest , have great public transport systems , great value for money ( all main stream euro cities don’t come near on prices of SpB or convenience of public transport ) and also popularity , SpB has been voted a few times in recent years best tourist city in Europe and also considered one of the safest , so in your opinion what city’s are better and why and what cities offer a better experience to foreigners in Russia, ones that have as much history or culture to see and are foreigner friendly , again I’ve seen most of the European Russian cities as far as the Urals and yes there are some nice ones but I don’t see them offerings the variety of things to do compared with SpB , and without doubt people of SpB are some of the most friendly you will ever find, it’s a tough package to beat , amazing parks , great architecture , waterways , palaces , museums , high quality restaurants without high price tag , amazing metro system that nowhere in Europe has such and only Moscow can compare in Russia , biggest city forest park in Europe , ski resort , amazing nature and huge lakes nearby , beaches in summer - it’s a pretty diverse place , Barcelona runs close but it costs twice to stay there with less options , Anywhere in Germany treble price and no sea , anything in uk forget as its expensive with crap food and terrible public service coupled with huge crime , Maybe Athens in Greece , Rome possibly but its a long way short of SpB in terms of variety and very expensive . Prague and Budapest very beautiful architecture but what more ? Paris - way way too expensive and overrated and full of arrogant French 😜

@@julianstevens8968 what about Amsterdam? Or cities of Switzerland, Denmark? And smth about Petersburg. Its government don't care about historical places properly (and it's real problem)- no doubt this city is great but could be much better

What's your favorite city in Croatia?

it's not so good city for living, except if ... no, no exceptions

Haha, I think that's a great idea! 😃

Wow, that's great, however it's often in St Petersburg that spring isn't really coming early, so don't forget to take any warm and waterprof clothes, at least one jacket.

@@user-dt3qb7cg5c- Thx, no worries :)

​@@elestromusicgamesfun1101 and also dont forget to bring a gas mask cause of dust and emissions which drives my lungs crazy every spring on march i would recommend you to come on 1st may since we have 5 day holidays which brings a lot of activities to the streets

i recommend you to go here on May. At least because there are lots of rains in the middle of the spring. Have fun and don't drink too much :)

Definitely

I agree, that series is absolute shit from a historical point of view

Agree a lot of it is twisted to make it more entertaining and to make money

Absolutely!

Thank you so much Kate! I truly appreciate the kind words. 🙏

Thank you so much, and I can't wait to share our adventures as we #TravelDeeper in Russia!

I can't wait to show more! I was the same way - I had no idea about Russia until this trip and I can't wait to share all of these adventures!!

That's awesome Alex, I would love to spend two months in Saint Petersburg to explore more!!

Gareth Leonard would highly recommend it! I didn’t go anywhere else when I was there just Piter and Moscow for a weekend.

@@GarethLeonard you are welcome!

Да Гарет супер четкий парень, с ним круто было работать: как свой, разве что не говорит по-русски.

Great to be here!! Thank you.

What about the other parts? Russia is not as good as you see there...

Alex Frt aw duuude , have you ever been in Russia?

@@alexfrt01 lol, I'm from a city of about 500,000 people, you're talking absolute nonsense. our city can be called very comfortable to live in and it is not worse than the same Petersburg. just because you only live in your own village somewhere in the backwoods doesn't mean everyone lives there. you just live by stereotypes...

@@quaribinat3371 I live in Siberian city and it makes no difference, thousands of people living in sh$t, working/studying in sh$t, forgotten by capital, lost in endless depression. And of course everyone don't give a f$ck about that because it's meaningless for dumb people to understand the situation.

You can check out mine as well :))

Thank you Eric! We got very lucky with the weather, which made for an even more amazing time in St Petersburg!

Gareth Leonard I was born in St. Petersburg and hell you are right about the weather. However I’m U.S citizen by now, but i visited in August and it was great experience to come back home after such a long time. There are huge minus which is mandatory army for all the males above the age of 18 so I can’t visit until I’m 27 or until I give my Russian citizens. Which is kinda sad, but thank you. This video keeps my heart warm 😊

Люблю Канаду... Я из России

I love Canada (although I haven't been there yet, but I hope to visit). I am from Russia

Thank you very much! I am loving this trip through Russia!! 🙏

Я в Питере уже пятьдесят с лишним лет, которые пролетели, как один день, постоянно что-то смотрим с моей семьей и всё равно ещё много такого, чего мы не посмотрели.

Да, а когда прилетишь домой, то оказывается что ...и этого не увидела, и это не посмотрела, и про это жаль что не знала.....снова в Питер хочуууу!

Хвастаться не красиво!:(

@@user-bo4rd2gk5t :D

Питер - это тот город, с которого нужно бежать без оглядки. Сочувствую горожанам, которые не видят его на духовному уровне.

Eh i honestly prefered Moscow and Yeketerinburg.

Thank you! Saint Petersburg was a really cool city, and it was a great first stop if for nothing else then a crash course on Russian history and culture. 😃

И запеканка и сырники случайно попались просто супер, Гарет опоздал на день (спасибо Аэрофлоту что помогли нам бесплатно переоформить билет) ничего более подходящего рядом не нашлось для съёмки этой сцены, и нам повезло что все оказалось вкусно.

Питер и Москва - это не вся Россия, это заезженные места для туристов. Есть другой блогер "Bald and bankrupt" - вот он уже несколько месяцев колесит по настоящей России, показывая со всех сторон.

Спасибо, в Питере было круто работать, несмотря на то что у ребят было очень сложное состояние после перелётов.

но надеюсь ты всё равно помнишь, что большую часть времени на небе нет солнца, что наркоманов тут больше, чем шприцов, что стоит выехать из маленького исторического центра и наступает серая, однородная, обшарпаная масса домов времён Хрущёва. Питер красив лишь частично, но эта часть занимает на столько не значительную часть у местного и на столько значимую для туриста, что меня аж передёргивает от мысли об сем.
