I liked this video. Armenia looks fascinating. Love the big markets. Good to see you again.😊❤

Your unique “depression” and understated sense of humor and character always makes me feels nice and grounded. Sooo thank you! And Happy Holidays-wherever you go.🎅🏻🙏🙌💜

Definitely. Her dry humor cracks me up. She would fit right in with my friend and I, always giving each other a hard time.

what is unique about her depression

What a treat to find a new video from you. I'm glad to see that you're getting to go places.

Thank you for this little tour of Armenia. I'm an American and kind of pathetically these were really the first images from Armenia I'm aware of seeing. I enjoyed that and your commentary. Also was curious about the numbers of seemingly homeless cats and dogs rather peacefully wandering the streets. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors.

I'm not so sure that these are "homeless" cats and dogs because they may just be community-owned Socialist cats and dogs with multiple castles and palaces to retire to in which they spend parts of their time getting a backrub here, a bone there, etc. My son's cat was apparently such a community cat. (owning multiple humans)

Ahhhh, Socialist cats and dogs. That is the perfect clarifying answer. Greatly appreciated and thank you.

Good to see you're still with us Alena 👍🏻💜

Thank you for sharing and for all the pets! Glad to see you back again.

Dogs usually know a good person when they meet one, that's why they liked you. Love your videos, your English is great and your sense of humor is as well.

It always makes me happy to see your face and the quick moment of Natasha ! I'm sending positive vibes for you both from Connecticut U.S.A. Peace !

Heyyyy great video! I love your ironic observations about stray dogs & cats, and hanging garden cultural exhibits and strange food and coffee. Please make some more short chilled out relaxing city vids like this when you get back to Georgia. You’re brave and strong to leave Russia and make a new life for yourself at such a young age. Peace.

I love your sense of humor! Great vid. ❤

It's not easy to look depressed on a swing, but wow, she really pulled it off. Still living up to her name, even when it looks like she might be having fun.

Maybe she's thinking of Russia where swings seem to be quite common. Swings were time-shared in the district I grew up in: 100 cycles of swinging for each kid waiting in line. I was stymied because it was more like a wriggle to me: nothing to push against ! 😂 Here's why I appreciate having a Big Brother: push, push, more, more, higher !

Hey, thanks for sharing your visit to Armenia in the way that you do. Somehow it is comforting - especially petting all the dogs and cats and just chillin’ on the swings and random shots and thoughts of common things. It just all feels peaceful.

Great video👍thank you for sharing🌻

Love your videos keep em coming! Stay healthy and safe!

Hi dear! It's nice and refreshing to see your latest video. You are so young and brave. I can only imagine all these new experiences under such circumstances. I came to America when I was 19 and it was an adventure. Stay strong, keep updating us. It's always great to hear from you !

Love your sense of humor. Hoping you upload videos more often.

YAY…Alena makes a rare appearance! Also…’Hi Natasha!’ ❤

The dogs love you so much 😍I love your channel very informative with a bit of banter. All the best from Australia 😎

Thanks for sharing your experiences traveling.

Great to see the channel growing, almost 50K ... keep it up. Lovely video today and I detect a much more cheerful tone to your voice. Very pleasing and a positive change.

Cool! Love your videos. "Visa Run" sounds like a great title for a road adventure movie.

Another super cool video, as always! Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing 😊. Hugs and kisses from Minnesota 😘

Loving your amusing off beat videos and natural beauty! x

Love it as always. And oddly, I do get some sense of Yerevan from just a few clips.

Always interesting Alena. I enjoy your sense of humor, your excellent english, and your honesty.

I always enjoy your videos. I Look forward to the next one.

These are good videos. You all are doing a great job. Nice work

Cute video, you're adorable and so are your friends

Allways good to see a new video from you. Keep doing your thing and stay healthy Alena! ❤

Well...everything I had to say has been said here 🤷‍♂️ I find your videos and insights, and voice compelling to watch/listen to 😁 You Rock....with a real 🪨...👍🏻🎊👍🏻

Best of luck in your travels Alena. It will all come good in the end and your life experience is enriched every day. You’re one of the good people. 😊

You might be the only sane vlogger on KZread. Nice recording, I enjoyed your tour, thanks.

As usual, came to support our favorite Russian(s), stayed for the understated humour. Fine video. I really dig Yerevan. Hope you find a place to call home once again, Alena. :)

I loved all your videos... I'm glad to see you started posting them again...stay safe and God Bless...

I always enjoy your channel! Thank you! Hello from Seattle!

It never ceases to amaze how well you speak colloquial English. And prospective congratulations on your imminent 50,000 followers. Brava!

Good Friday evening from me in beautiful Dunedin, New Zealand. I just discovered your channel and you are beyond wonderful and delightful in every possible way. I hope you are amazing

Greetings from "somewhere" in the North Atlantic ocean. Good to see your channel grow. Your irony works well.

Excellent video, TYVM!

I see cool street dogs, I click thumbs up. Nothing more is needed...

Finally a new video from you

Great to see you again.. still so beautiful ❤️..i missed your vlogs.i was so happy to your video again..👍

You always crack me up ❤

Your dry sense of humor makes your videos.

It's good you were able to visit another country. Maybe it will lead you to do more travelling. :) Good luck with whatever comes next for you.

Finally, I was waiting for long time for your video.

There’s something quite unique about your videos and personality. In a good way… Kinda sucks you don’t post more often. Hope you have a good 24’ and that you remain healthy and as depressed as you need to be!! 😊

It would be great for Alena and Natasha to travel all over the world for their videos.

I always enjoy your videos. Cheers from Austin, TX!

yes i would also like the teapot to be coffee pot, and possibly with less holes :D

Haven’t seen DR for a long time. Hope doing well in Armenia, best wishes from Germany. Happy holidays and hopefully a better new year.

omg the food in armenia looks so good. thank you for the tiny coffee tour, and i hope you get to expand its geography! there are some really good coffee places here in seattle! im just sayin'. ;)

I really enjoyed your video. I'd love to have some Armenian cognac. You're very funny and Natasha appeared to be pleased to be in your video. Thank you. Cheers.

Your English is very good 😀I loved all of the parks in Yerevan. One of my favorite is Vardanyan park. I am planning to visit Armenia in a few months then I want to spend a few days in Georgia.

Great to see you do a video. Next time Get a guide or friend to drive to some of the incredibly interesting sights in this country outside yerevan. Done it twice . Some Norwegian goes to Armenia Mountain hotel every year as its nice location . I preferred the medieval fortress ruins and the ancient religious sights . Some pre Christian too. Best of luck,

Nice to see you again. "Seasoned traveller", lol Your sense of humour is very good.

Good to see another video DR

Hi Alena!🎉 I enjoy your ‘ I just drank some coffee’ vibe. You also have a great eye for color. That Natasha’I’m not here’ glance was funny.😂 As always ; great video, & hope to see the next one, soon.

Thid is a re-release 🤔 Good to see you again 🌹🙂

It looks so warm for December!

Your English is exceptional. Near fluency. May you live in warmth and peace.

I love your videos. You should be the host of a regular TV show.

Thanks for giving a glimpse of Yerevan. Your short vacation seemed quite chilled, which is great. I'll now remember Armenia as a place to perhaps visit one day.

Thank you for your time in Armenia. Great shots of the hanging gardens. I guess we do not or cannot understand how it is to be a stateless person even if it by choice. Keep going, things will get better even if it takes time. Thanks again.

Good to see you back

Great experience! I enjoyed the video very much but I was really impressed to see how many stray dogs there are even in Armenia! Anyway this country is so beautiful and it was worth a visit. Thanks a lot. Your English is fantastic❤

I suspect that these so-called "stray" dogs are actually living closer to the lifestyle of their ancestors. They probably serve as community sentinels in mountainous areas such as the Caucasus. My first baby picture taken with a companion was with a completely black 🐕nobody and everybody owned. We were living in a garrison shantytown by Phoenix Creek under a mountain range.

With a personal cameraperson, what a professional production!

Beautiful ❤ Armenia nice vlog 🎉 watching fr Jamaica 🏖️

Curious to see how Armenia celebrates Christmas. It's a Christian country so I'm assuming they have it. Maybe it's even better than in the West. All the best to you in your new country and merry X-mas already ^_^ 🎄

I'm glad you found a place that you miss when you're gone. That's a nice thing to have, especially when you haven't had it in the past.

Watching your videos is addictive . more videos should come

Nice to see tyou again, Armenia looks nice and I see you have your friend with you nice. Enjoy.

What a nice and entertaining Intro for a vlog!! 😗- a depressed Turkish guy

Thank you for sharing.

I loved your video in Armenia it was really cool I had never seen this place before and being my favourite depressed Russian I remember when you left and I often wonder how you are doing the 3 of you left yes to go to Georgia so I was pleased to see you are ok! Your English is amazing too I wish I could talk Russian like you speak English! You should become a translator you could do it I think! Love and respect always David Porter❤️❤️🐈‍⬛

Why are these Armenian street-living dogs so chill and friendly? Street dogs in other countries have a reputation of being aggressive and dangerous... Is it the Armenian people who are friendly to the dogs and treat them well? There is maybe a Life lesson in that... 🙂

I believe that it's mostly due to societal culture influencing their dogs. These are probably community dogs owned by nobody as well as everybody. The capitalist dogs are far more territorial and bark at strangers (who are nearly everybody not in their small friend-circle).

Nice to see you again, I wonder where you had been.

Thanks for the tour. I put the video speed up to 1.5 and then your English speaking flows along nicely at a good cadence that sounds more fluent.

Hello Alena, love your channel and your videos. Hope things are going OK for you. Peace and love from New Hampshire, U.S.A.

I love this channel her depressed life makes my life ever more depressed.. but I'm surprised she doesn't like cognac as alcohol is a depressant ..

A very interesting video, show us more !

Your sense of humor is phenomenal...i liked the community post "to cheer up go outside..." I thought Azerbaijan was the russian enclave....i was never good with geography .

...... nice to see you, my best wishes to both of you....

You’re such a sweetheart ❤️

You keep on smiling like that you're gonna bring this channel into disrepute. And that just might be a very good thing. The dry humour still cracks me up though.

Happy to see you are safe and well and still have that sense of humor that l enjoy. Why do the dogs have tags on thier ears... "Always a good day when you can pet a dog". I hope you make a Holiday post , it would be nice , thank you and stay safe.

Hi Alena, great video. I would have done all the same things you did: drink coffee, visit restaurants, buy books, and play with the cats and dogs.😀

Try to video more. I like your show and I like seeing the places that you travel.

Travel is an educational activity. Armenia looks very civilized. I envy your youth and ability to be adventurous. Thanks for this.

Glad things are still going well for you and Natasha! Please stay safe over there! Wish you could come to America and see my floofy poochies!

Fun video. Stay safe!

..you have less 'crunch' in your voice, depra is kind a fading away....veri gud😋
