7 Things that SHOCKED me in Tomsk Russia

[@RJinspire]

Tomsk is a beautiful Siberian city that makes you feel like you are in the Soviet Union. Hitchhiking in Chechnya kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpbbpGNsfN9krtk

I am from Tomsk and I adore it

[@RJinspire]

Thank you, Dylan, I love Tomsk and the people are amazing over there. I will certainly visit again, thanks for liking the video, my friend

[@dylanbaker8876]

@@RJinspire Oh of course! Well I am now an American but will always have a Russian heart and soul.

[@Texaca]

@@dylanbaker8876 ...how do you go from growing up in Tomsk, to living in America? There's a story to that 🤔....are you in Witness Protection 😂😂 You didn't steal a Mig or a Sukhoi aircraft 🤔 Just kidding my man. ✌️

[@dylanhernandez1886]

@@Texaca I know 😂 I was adopted. That’s the big story

[@timvandenbrink4461]

My adopted son is from Tomsk!

[@carlosnavassax]

Oh my god! You sing too! We can make a duo with saxophone 😁😁 great video my friend! 👍👍

[@RJinspire]

Yes, I am a very good singer. We should make a collab with the saxophone and I will sing my friend

[@auksasful]

Seems like a lovely adventure. It is usual to invest in home security, stuff like security cameras, alarms or armored doors in Eastern Europe though.

[@RJinspire]

They do take home security seriously. Snow has finally caught up with me 😂

[@RaiFlyAway]

Hi RJinspire !!! Brilliant video a pleasure to watch!!!

[@RJinspire]

Thank you my friend

[@Y_Not1]

😃👍😁👏Very good video. Important to know these things. Thanks for sharing.👍👍

[@RJinspire]

Thanks a lot, my friend. I thought it was worth sharing interesting things about Tomsk

[@donroy7825]

Yes, that worked ! Serious Tomsk snow, serious drinking, serious lock security topped of with jolly singing gentlemen !! Thanks ;-)

[@RJinspire]

Never sang in Russian before but I was asked to try and I am never one disappoint people. Singing Soviet songs wasn't in my travelling plans but I loved it, thank you

[@PeacefulPotatoYoga]

Great vlog! Love your energy! Looks pretty chilly 🥶

[@RJinspire]

Certainly chilly but lovely people, thank you 😂

[@GngJackson]

Good voice! Thanks for sharing another nice place😊

[@RJinspire]

Thank you, my dear, really appreciate that

[@krissmgvlogs]

Another great vlog. I love those traditional songs. I visited Russian homes in Moscow when I worked with the BBC and also experienced the 'vault' doors.

[@RJinspire]

No matter how much I spend in Russia, the surprises never stops, so many interesting things to see and do. Most homes in Russia have those big metal doors for the outer side and another wooden door int the inside, two-doors-home are a norm throughout Russia. Thanks for sharing your BBC Russian experience, you must have had a wonderful time in Moscow and yes, I love those traditional Russian songs, I think I sang well 😂

[@Steve-mc7nc]

Nice job singing with only 20 minutes to prepare. Looks like you're having a blast there. A little music and some liquor is all you need ;)

[@RJinspire]

My Russian friends insisted that I sing those old Soviet songs and I think I did well singing in Russian. Sing before drinking the liquor, Russia has so much to offer and a lot to explore, I am loving it, thanks

[@__safeguard2154]

A good music band lives their called reminorband they make amazing music

[@RJinspire]

Does the band live in Tomsk? I would have loved to meet them and possibly do a jingly together

[@buthoeden7298]

i am impressed lol singing on key....brother representing lol

[@RJinspire]

Singing in Russian on a song I didn't know was my first experience but loved it, thanks

[@SmallDrives]

yeah those volted doors are no joke, very common with many apartments, i am from Kiev and we had an apartment when I was a kid with the same kind of door, lot's of break-ins and these doors were not easy to break through. Especially if your apartment was on the first floor, it was the doors that many drunks would try the most to open.

[@RJinspire]

The doors really impressed me and I have seen them in other former Soviet countries, see you in Ukraine after the pandemic

[@SmallDrives]

@@RJinspire I live in USA now :) one day I hope to go back for a visit with my family. :)

[@unfairfight3625]

Russians are so lucky,the friendships, the people and communities are together, it is unbelievable,im getting really good at speaking and understanding russian,i love the culture, the people and Russia.thanks for sharing RJ,,every vid you make goes up in quality, im impressed,

[@RJinspire]

Learning Russian helps a lot in Russia. I think I did well singing in Russian with little preparation. Russian communities are very traditional especially in towns and cities away from Moscow and St Petersburg

[@unfairfight3625]

@@RJinspire yes your doing very well,,i can sing the most popular song of Kino,,they are awesome,

[@RJinspire]

When i visit Canada it would be nice to sing with you for a fun collab 😂😂😂

2 layer door is not a safety measure. it is an airlock keeping indoors warm.

[@RJinspire]

Thanks a lot for that, he said Kruto, what does that mean

[@guga_man]

@@RJinspire it means "Cool"

[@RJinspire]

thanks

[@mtalhafaryad1609]

What about part time jobs near Tomsk State University?

[@RJinspire]

Tomks is an interesting place, no idea about jobs there, I travel and make videos

[@stepanserdyuk4589]

The house thing goes back to 90ths, the "freedom and democracy" time. Theft and robberies were everywhere. We didn't have to live in safehouses back in USSR.

[@RJinspire]

Sounds like USSR provided more safety and zero theft or robberies, thanks for such an enlightening comment 👌👏

[@PipinhoSnow]

Good voice. What medals were those?

[@RJinspire]

Soviet medals from World War II, I wanted more info but they were to busy with the show

[@shereep6332]

How cold was it? In Fahrenheit if possible?

[@RJinspire]

-2.2f

[@shereep6332]

Double vaults and they own nothing! I don’t think it’s for safety: I think it’s social prestige.?
