I am very concerned about you getting out to go to Uzbekistan to meet up with Matt. I would not recommend he come join you. According to the Georgian and American media, the government is conscripting anyone and might grab him, even though he is a British citizen. I realize the media can't be trusted, but I usually try to err on the side of caution. Nice video and it is good to spend time with family when you have been away. :)

You all NEVER lived that well even prior to all the sanctions. Your govt. is stealing from you. No money for upkeep of your military vehicles. 50% of your tanks hadn't been even started up , let alone maintenanced and kept up to standards in 10 yrs. WE as a people of the world need to stop these megolomaniacs running our countries. No more Wars unless you're attacked first. No STARTING the war anymore! We must all stand up for the good of all people. No one man should be allowed to threaten the entire world like your piece of trash leader Putin.

I have learned so much from your videos. Politicians are continually feeding us propaganda. The ideas I had of Russia & Siberia were so distorted…thank you for opening my eyes

It's nice to see how normal people inside Russia live and go about life. These are the dearest of pictures we don't see from each other around the world.

First of all. … you guys know video. Your warm human message is beautifully presented. Excellent visuals and linking narrative. I don’t know what you do but clearly you should run your own video production company . You have produced a Heart warming message that we all need to see in these increasingly nationalistic and frosty times. In a nutshell, you’re both very sweet. You know what. We should all be a bit more sweet.. to each other. .. keep videoing. .. I watch with pleasure. Grumpy old Scot, London.

This looks like many places in the USA. I had the picture in my head of a frozen tundra. Beautiful thank you for sharing.

Crab Apples. Our neighbors had a tree when we were small children. A very unique flavor. 25 years later We bought the house that was once our neighbors, and when my brother came to visit he pulled one of the apples off the tree and said, "yep, that's exactly how I remember them". They are delicious.

Ohh wow..I found your channel randomly, started to watch this video and what I see is Kemerowo. I recognized it immediately. I'm a student from Germany and I lived there the whole year 2020 for an university exchange. And I had one of the best times of my life. I went back to the city several times and soon I'll go back again. Я скучаю по тебе, Кемерово, но скоро вернусь, конечно вернусь)

Nice Video. I am impressed about how beautiful Kemerovo is in the middle of Siberia. So green and lush. The "fog" that happens in winter, also occurs in Alaska. It is called "polar inversion". When it is colder than -30 the smoke from the cars, factories etc. doesn't rise as it normally would because it's warm, but it condenses immediately and drops.

I’ve been following your journey since your Philippine visit. Thank you for this enlightening video. Take care lovely couple.

Your city is so pretty , especially with the leaves changing color!

McDonalds is a franchise - this means that all the restaurant are owned by independents owners who are obliged to use the same fabrication instructions/supliers and marketing system. The majority of the restaurants had Russian owners and the majority of suppliers were Russian companies so it was easy to maintain all the system and change only the name.

What a lovely video. Thanks for sharing your walk through your hometown with us. It was nice to see Siberia outside of wintertime. I always think of Siberia as a frozen tundra - did not realize it was not always frozen. It is so pretty with the leaves changing. I hope your Gran, mom, brother, sister and other family are doing well. I think of them often with everything going on since 2/24. I hope Matt is doing well; wondering what he is getting up to while you are with your family? Take care Julia. Be safe.

Those small apples may be what we call Mayhaw apples in the US. They are hard to find because they only grow in certain areas, but they make great jam.

It's very important that you make these videos to show younger people, especially in the US, that Russians are more like us than anything. The arts and sciences are very rich and deep, just like the history. And the country is so vast that anything is possible. I have lived a lifetime hoping that we would see the day when we could openly admire one another, and it was so close. I hope it is still possible. Best to you and your motherland.
