Please keep us updated James! We miss you! You are a wonderful Journalist.

I cried out loud. Pushkinskaya, 2-4, there is my flat. The first building you showed. I left home on 24th of February. Just put my 2 cats and 2 dogs in the car and left cause I worried I could save them otherwise. It’s painful. I will come back. I will come and revive my country in some time whilst donating money to our armed forces. The coffee shops you showed - I went there every day working from home during quarantine with my dogs. I miss waiters and managers, miss friends who stayed and my cousin who decided she wasn’t going with me and I couldn’t persuade her. My deepest shame is that having so many pets I couldn’t go to territorial defense or the army. This shame will be with me forever cause I’m don’t have a husband or children I could’ve taken place of some person who had and who went and died for our country. Thank you for showing me my home

Hi James, I hope you and your family are safe still in Poland. Long time no new film.

You've imported 2 kilos of pure pierogi body mass from Poland :D

Anyone heard from James ? Concerned for him and his beautiful family.

Trams are nice. They run with electricity, stop in the middle of city centers and mostly don't run on car streets and that's why are faster than buses

It dosen't look at all like a country at war. I've been to Kiev before the war. Really grand and beautiful city.

Hey James. Long time no new video. Are you ok? Give us an update that you’re safe.

Moved by your video! All the best to you and your family. 🇵🇱

Has anyone been in touch with James and knows if he's ok? Getting a bit worried, but I hope he's just taking some time off YT 😥

James, how are you? Are you now safe in Poland? Sometime I ve seen you in Warsaw, but now it didint happen. Is everything ok?

Hi James, everything ok with you guys? I hope you are just busy with the newborn and therefore no new videos. Just say a quick hi so we know you are ok.

James where are you. We miss you

where are you James?

Where the hell is James?

Incredible video, thank you for sharing once again a bit of your life with us. Obrigado!

33:52 If you ever come to Prague (CZ) (or pretty much any other Czech or Slovak city / town that has a tram network), you will see that those trams (Czech Tatra model T3) are still running in here as well. And not really for economic reasons. The T3 are so iconic and loved that we still want them and we just refurbish and upgrade the interior :) It will be a very sad day when they get completely replaced by the new modern trams. And btw, Vienna still uses their old E2 trams by Simmering-Graz-Pauker / Bombardier from the 1970s as well. It's not a lack of progress, it's because of nostalia. At least for us.

I’ve been watching for new videos and don’t see any. Hoping you and your family are ok!

It must be something special for you. Take care! ❤️ 🙌

Is everything fine?

Ukraine is still in our family prayers over here in the Philippines. I am happy that there is some semblance of "normalcy". We hope that things get turned around and that Ukraine gets back what was taken. Nothing more, nothing else. I have always wanted to visit, possibly even work there (if there was work). Take care and stay safe.

The trolleys are colorful and give a little old world ambience. San Francisco prides it's self for their trams, trolleys and cable cars. My friend was a brakeman on the cable cars and it is one of the most prestigious positions in the whole public transportation system. I was born in the city in 1953 and we rode the cable to the baby sitters every morning and evening. One of my most fondest memories of the City By The Bay.

the scene at the very end is so iconic, its so Slavic. That's just something that can happen only in this part of the world. God bless and take care.

Very modern and beautiful city. Greetings from Poland.

I was there just last summer in Podil. You walked by a coffee shop right at top of the hill I stopped at, I also went inside the church. It was so beautiful and the view of Podil from the outside of the church is amazing. I like the trams. I think they are cool. Lucky that my wife is Ukrainian so I have my personal translator and guide. I miss Ukraine hopefully will relocate there to help with reconstruction in future.

Where is the sequel? I enjoyed it so much. You left Poland? If have than for where? :)

Hope you and your two ladies are doing well in Poland.

We dont see You anymore. Whats happened? 🖐

It looks like that city slowly back to life. I hope Ukraine win the battle with evil forces. All the best.

Hi, James, I hope you're all right with your family.

Shout out from "Sydney Australia"...I was born in POZNAŃ POLAND im coming back next march 2023.Thank God you and your family are ok🇦🇺🇵🇱🇺🇦❤💯

yes, he's American, if you have followed him his channel previously known as "American in Ukraine". He's an Ukrainian American & holding American passport

Never been in Kiyv, so I loved your video, you know how to make every place on Earth look cool :)

I will definitely visit one day when the war is over. However Odessa is probably gonna be first on my list. Kiev might seem the same as before (population wise) but people tend to forget that besides migration to foreign countries there's also been a massive migration within Ukraine. Many of people we see here might have come from the areas heavily hit by war. Greetings from western Poland James.

Wow, downtown is hopping! I haven't seen that many people out on any of your Polish city trips

It has been 3 weeks now - are you OK?

Piękny film, mój brat pracował kiedyś w Kijowie, mieszkał blisko Chreszczatyk. Dzięki temu miałam okazję trochę poznać to miasto, piękne wspomnienia i jakaś nostalgia mnie dopadła. Dzięki za pokazanie miejsc, które pamiętam z odległej już jednak przeszłości...

WHERE ARE YOU????? What's happend to you and your family? You've vanished. 😟

James I wish the best for you and your family. Be safe

Are you OK? I hope you'r not a victim of Russian/Iranian drone in Kiev.

:/ Safe trip James. Hope things get back to normal soon.

You ended this film with a group of elderly women singing and it touched my heart.

Does anyone know what happened to James? Why he doesn't post new videos?

Hi James, I hope you and your family are doing well (in Poland or elsewhere). Let us know how you're doing, even if it's a short snippet. You guys take care!

Note, Rolling stock for a Tram line is millions of Euro for just a few train sets, not including the needed track upgrades. The old stock works, and I'm sure they have a lot more priorities remaining.

Great how you keep it real. Thanks from Montana, USA.

I keep my fingers crossed for your safe (as safest as possible) journey and fortunate homecoming James

James, are you speaking Ukrainian when u ordered that food? Growing up did you speak Ukrainian or Russian with your parents? Are you fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, I never heard you clarify this. Thank you , peace.

James where are you ? Are you and your family safe and okay ?

Are You ok???

James, knowing your hometown pretty well since 1991 although I visited last time in 2018. I do appreciate the city very much so your video brought back good memories . And I was actually happy to see the Czech designed Tatra model of tram is still in service just like you find these in in Prague itself. In Milano, Italy and Lisbon they discovered the quality to keep them running.

Kiev is really beautiful !

Time to go back home for good.

Hello from Port Saint Lucie, Florida James! Hope you and your family are doing well and staying healthy and everyone treating you good in Poland. I've watched most of your videos which have brought back some faint memories of my homeland. It's been over 33 years since I've last stepped foot in Poland as a small child. Thanks to all of your inspiring videos, I cannot wait to go back and visit. Look forward to watching more of your upcoming videos.

yes, james, i can see that you would be shocked at the sight that met you when you returned home. wish you all the best going forward.

THANK YOU YOUR VIDEO PEOPLE IN UKRAINE STAND AND STRONG THE CITY OF KYIV IS AMAZING LOOKS BACK TO NORMAL

I like those old trams. Hope to find one if I ever visit Kiev or Ukraine. I would start building new hotels if was Ukraine. The country is going to become a huge tourist destination after the war.

Nobody went to Dombass in the past 8 years. Just to check the bombings.

I hope you are doing well🇱🇹

Bro where are you?

Curious what brought you back? Thanks for the video. And best wishes to Marina and baby)

Bardzo ładne miasto♥️

The old raggedy tram is good! In Austria they have an old tram system from the 1800s as we do in Blackpool, UK. Need to preserve these things, it's good that it's still in use rather than in a museum.

Thank you for the video, enjoyed it very much. As far as the “old trams” - personally I love them. Wish all cities preserved those older style trams. Слава Україні and also Chwała Polsce for the incredible assistance the people of Poland have provided to their Ukrainian brothers and sisters in need. ❤️ 🇺🇦 🫡 🇵🇱 ❤️ Aloha from Hawaii.. 🏝💕

James what’s good, let’s get the scoop on the channel . 👍

I just watched a very recent KZfaq video from Kharkiv. I wonder if Marina's mum is okay.

All the best for you James, and for your family! Cheers

To answer your question, trams are incredible expensive... compare to buses. The one on your video looks good and it is in good shape... has a character

Ukkrain is beautiful nice ,old buildings clean and wide streets so nice.

WELCOME HOME MY FRIEND SLAVA UKRAINE.THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME

stare tramwaje są fajne, ale żeby oprócz tego też jeździły nowe. W Italii, w najbogatszym tam mieście, w Mediolanie też jeżdżą stare tramwaje i robią tam klimat.

Fajnie widzieć jak Kijów wraca do życia.

Czy ktoś zna ich nazwisko? Można byłoby Jamesa i Mariny poszukać w internecie. Ta cisza jest naprawdę niepokojąca.

W Warszawie też jest kilka nieukończonych budynków np. w centrum na placu Politechniki.

Thanks!

Omg I hope you're safe

Regards from Lviv, James. Drop me a line if you happen to come over here.

41 min! full respect James! its too bad that u didnt make longer movie with Your mom.

Hey James. Greetings from Oz. Thanks for the very interesting vid. Good luck to you and your family.

Kyiv is *beautiful* and has a lot of character! It is so grand and things look properly dispersed, not crowded or chaotic. Honestly, I wish Bucharest (my home city) would look more like that. 😕 Long live Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇷🇴

It's sad, that so many people have to suffer because of one person. War is the last thing we need in 21 century.

James you are right about the trams. The tram you show is a slightly upgraded USA PCC Car, first avaliable in 1936. Shown is a USSR version, I think.

Why did you decide to leave instead of staying and fighting?

When new film?

I love that Ukrainian restaurant, it's affordable and grea for families

I hate to ask it , but is James....alive?

Live goes on. You almost can not believe war is out there.

Certainly does not look like a large city that is at war....shocking

Refugee?Economic refugee of course

You make very good reportage- beter and better...

I guess my first question is why are you not fighting in army? Join your neighbors. Do certain people don't have to fight in war? Don't feel sorry for you. Go make peace with your neighbor.

It is good that you found things ok at home

Maybe now your devote your time for your child, for your son or you daughter? Now you have to make for you life to get your family together, don't you?

super vlog, fajne ujęcia z Kijowa

Need you on the front lines

U r so quiet lately, hope you're doing good man

Where is James originally from? His accent is a unique mix of East Coast US and Eastern Europe

I'm a brand new subscriber and I loved your video. How did I just see this channel now?

I am from Poland. I am thinking of visiting Ukraine all the time. I was only once and for a very short time in Lviv, unfortunately I didn't have time to visit more before the war broke out. I am not afraid of the war because I do not intend to go to dangerous places and most of Ukraine is relatively calm and safe, but I have another doubt. It seems inappropriate for me to go on a trip to Ukraine to have a good time when the entire Ukrainian nation is suffering. On the other hand, the lack of foreign tourists is also a blow to the country's economy. I would feel really good spending my money on vacation in Ukraine instead of in another European country, but I don't know how Ukrainians would take it and if they would feel good if someone from the West comes to rest when it is so difficult for them. This is a difficult dilemma for me. I would be grateful for the opinions of Ukrainians how they see this issue.

James, I would consider going on to Johnny d and his channel and connecting with him on his different projects to raise more funds for Ukraine. He's an American raising funds for your country he lives and works there.
