Its just pretty affordable and in some cases even covered by the state insurance. Also the food is more healthy so there are fewer problems in general.

I hated looking at the snow at the end of April. When I lived in Moscow.

[@bobgoodall1603]

That was a very relaxed video, the meal looked great. Nice family to meet and treat. I had the opposite problem to you....i flew in to Sydney on the 1st of Jan from the cold northern winter and found myself locked out of the hotel until 10:30 it was 40C by 9am nothing was open and was being cooked along with the luggage. I think it was nearer 11 by the time i got into the room. I'd been up for 40 hours. I cant imagine if it had been the other way round.

I hope you continue the videos even after you come to the U.S. (and welcome, when you come!) I wish I knew what spices you put on the chicken. I love to cook and need new ideas. I will assume the spices were salt, pepper, and something like herbs of the province, maybe? I can see all the rest so.... off shopping now. I will make what you made. Thanks!

You lived in Kansas? I spent many summers there in the 80's as I had family there. Best memories! And your friend's daughter is just the cutest! The temps in Surgut remind me of my winters in Finland, -30 to -35 degrees, brrr! But mostly sunny... here in Germany where I am from winters are mild to very mild but totally grey and overcast.

[@khecke]

Always nice to get a video from you, Svetlana. I will have to look-up, where Surgut in Siberia is located - but I know that it is cold in Siberia. We have it warmer In Arkansas and the Lilac will bloom very soon. I moved a little bit earlier from Germany to the States - it was the end of June 1957.

Svetlana how long did you keep your chicken in the oven? I just want to say that your friend was blessed with a beautiful girl.

[@SVETLANAFROMRUSSIA]

One hour in total! I will let her know you said that😊

[@ChristineHK]

Love your videos and look forward to more. I'm in Arizona and it's 78 F today. I can't have gluten, either, but there are a lot of gluten free choices here in the supermarket. Where in the United States are you moving to? Oh you may not like the chicken here. I went to college with a girl from Russia and she said our chicken tastes strange. So did another student from Africa. I think he was from Nigeria.

[@martinkasper197]

US chicken tastes strange because of all the chemicals... They are forbidden in the EU...

[@magnusjohansson6517]

Hi, love your vlogs! You asked if we have any requests. If so, I would be curious to know if you could in a safe way ask people in Siberia, how they feel about what you diplomatically worded as the "situation". I much appreciated your tour to the polling station! We, who follow your vlogs knew more about the process than the international journalists covering the russian "election" . Be sure to take care of yourself! Scary times!

Surgut may be cold but it's low humidity. So perhaps -25 in Siberia is better than -10 in SPB

Do you think you could do the apartment tour, since you are moving from there anyway? Is it a typical Russian apartment? I love the purple wallpaper and the kitchen mirror, haha! Greetings from Slovenia!

Sounds like someone needs to come up with a Gluten Free Cinnabon for you! 😁😁 I know, it won't be the same. 😭😭 It would be great, in your vlogs, that we get to see the Asian side of your Russian city. Its great to see the differences in the architecture and culture! Svetlana, I am hoping that they will not close the boarders due to recent incidents, preventing you to leave. It would be a shame to do all that effort and be stuck for a longer period of time!

It is in the 'middle of nowhere' as we say in English. -30c oh no what a tough arrival. In Wales we would buy a little present for t your kind neighbour probably a bottle of wine or some expensive chocolates.

Those soviet era buildings are just so beautiful, i heards they are built to last the only problem are the sewer and heating pipes thats breaking in coal wether and I see video of poop water river in a downtown area, really gross.

[@user-xm6zs6ez6i]

Previously, the pipes were metal, they wore out and burst in the cold. Now, plastic is being used more and more often.

[@joojoojeejee6058]

"Beautiful"? I know that some people have a hard-on for "brutalism", but most people certainly don't agree. The Soviet buildings are cheap and basic, and esthetics were the least of their concern. The point was to cram as many people as possible to these buildings as cheaply as possible. Yet, typically you still had to wait years or decades to get a flat. Meanwhile you would live with your parents (and even grandparents..).

[@Cory99918]

I like that shirt too 💯✌💫

Well thank the good lord you have a friend in the neighbor to respond and open it up. A good vibe exists, and the resonance with harmony to the good of all.

Is there a code to enter or are there no names and just apartment numbers? (I remember that from early 90's from Poland, it was common in Kommuna it seems). Lucky in our house you always have a freak who is not sleeping and you can see it through the windows and then ring there^^ I wish you a good start in the US!

I lived in the US in the Midwest for a number of years but the work-life balance is better in Europe. In US if you have a job you will get 10 days paid vacation every year compared with 25 in Europe. The US though is the land of opportunity and if you work hard and have an entrepreneurial spirit who knows what you can achieve. It’s a fascinating country. It’s a dangerous country too. Good luck.

[@craigsowers8456]

Thanks for the glimpse ... and yes, "uninhabited" is the correct word. Sorry but Surgot is too damn cold for this Texan ... that lives in the French Riviera (of course). BTW, F and C are the same at -40 ... yikes !

[@johnmcguigan4456]

Hi Svetlana, lovely to see you again, I have watched you in Surgut before and it does have a certain character, I hope you will be giving us your opinions of the US, I have been many times due to having family in New York Alabama and Florida, it’s a country of extremes and sure there’s a mixture of cultures some of which I find distasteful, I have learned with all of my travels that there are lots of things to avoid and I’m sure your partner will guide you through, the gun culture can be a difficult thing to consider although my only experience was when I visited LA when someone held up a gas station, fortunately I was around 200 metres away and left on instruction of my friends, it’s a great country to visit and experience but I couldn’t live there, if you are able to travel freely it certainly makes a difference in how you settle and make it your home then you can look forward to returning, my favourite place to be is Tokyo because of the way of life but I don’t have good language skills and would never be accepted into their community, I have therefore learned that the best place for me to call home is on the south coast of England, and like I say it’s good to return home, I wish you so much joy in your new journey and hope you find the happiness you deserve ❤
