Delicious. Again . I’ve met so many wonderful people from Siberia . Thank you for your podcast

You got it fine there with prices..❤

When I'm on vacation in Canada I eat out every meal (but usualy have breakast-lunch as one) + lattes, scone, donut throughout the day etc. I allocate myself $400 a week so $50-$60 a day but that's because I know the place and go to favorites, regular places and places with great food but affordable, also not alcohol. 👍 Shakshuka for example is considered a fancy dish, rare delicacy and would be $22-$28.

Thank you, Sveta, for taking us around your hometown. It is very charming. Love those white bark trees. Birch I imagine. Compared to US, the Surgut prices are very reasonable. $35 a day is really quite modest especially if you are eating out. Best of everything going forward. 👍😊

You probably work at entry level wages and try living beyond your means by buying things that people who work at much higher wages then you do. Russia is a whole different economic system. Communist. They have been subsidized by their government for, well, almost forever. The Russian government made it illegal to own property in 1918, and have only had Freedom to purchase a house since 1990. Purchase power parity is way way in American favor. Russians make very little money compared to U.S. citizens. It's easy to look over the fence and see something that looks better, but if you do the diligence required to be educated, you find the actual details.

That young boy looked well behaved and cute. I liked that floppy hat on you. Looked warm. Look after yourself.

Hi Svetlana, lovely to see you again, it’s so good that you have given me a better understanding of the costs of daily life, I’m not interested in how much people earn every month that’s quite easy to find out, it’s knowing what it’s like every day, it appears to me that you’re fond of children and you would be a great mom if you chose to, it’s so nice that you value your friendships and to have the memories of them by choosing rings, where I’m originally from in northern Scotland things can be very difficult to find and expensive so it’s not much different to your life in some ways, I especially like that you enjoy cooking many women don’t like to cook now but I’m quite a traditional type of guy although I enjoy testing my cooking skills, my biggest expenses daily is accommodation because I spend a lot of time travelling, mostly I try to find budget hotels but it’s not always possible and it would usually cost between £50 to £100 a night depending what part of the world I am, I don’t think black is a good thing for you it’s only my opinion but you really are more suited to beautiful colours/colors, it matches your personality and I’m sorry to hear that you lost your hat also, I’m looking forward to your next video already ❤

@@justinasbar You are misrepresenting the average salary in Russia. The problem is that Russia and the United States have different tax systems, for example, in Russia they pay tax from the minimum wage, so most enterprises show the minimum wage of their employees (or close to the minimum), which leads to a distortion of statistics. Few people pay taxes on a real salary. It seems to me that you are a troll, because you know this feature of the Russian tax system, but you specifically kept silent about it.
