I find it funny when russians (and other non-native english speakers) say they are doing "sports", when they are doing exercises. In the USA, a sport is a competition, like basketball or soccer, while exercise is any physical exertion (working out, running, lifting weights, or playing sports). Good luck on your finals!

[@me_and_two_cats]

Awesome videos Dasha. You're definitely more relaxed and happier in the USA. Hope Natalia and alena visit one day. Happy holidays)))

[@Voyager2525]

Other cool things to look at for Christmas in NYC: 1. Rockefeller Center. This is where you have the iconic NYC Christmas tree, as well as the most iconic (albeit small) skating ring. You also have a lot of the most beautiful Christmas decorated buildings and shops around that area. If you want to see the ultimate in Christmas lights on private homes, go to Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. Trust me, it is Very impressive.

[@jnfromiowa]

It's so nice to start a week with one of your videos. 😊 You will do amazing on your finals...just be sure you get some good sleep during those days! What I always admire about you Dari is that you don't take things for granted. You make the most of your surroundings, no matter where you go, and you do it with an open mind and heart and lots of joy. It's refreshing and so nice to see. Keep being you and enjoy your chocolate and tea! ☺️

Magic of christmas in NYC. If it wasn't so cold it would be the best time to visit.

[@DariStep]

It’s actually not that cold now ahaha

[@solconcordia4315]

The weather stays warmer until much later than when I first arrived in New York. It was cold enough to snow 🌨️ in early October in early 1970s. I came from a subtropical city so I was always fascinated about what I've heard of but never seen (except in the freezer of our refrigerator -- don't lick the aluminum ice-cube tray; as a kid making ice cubes for the first time and seeing frost, I got my tongue frozen to it, stuck and painful). My Mom said that in the olden days, sky god sent flour from heaven to feed people and no one starved but some people were so greedy that they trampled roofs to collect flour and damaged them so the benevolent sky god substituted snow for the flour falling from heaven. Then people had to work to grow and make the flour they wanted to eat. 😂)

[@JimJenks1]

Hey Dari, great video! It's wonderful to see you having such a great time and living life to the fullest in New York. Good luck on your finals, though I don't think you need it. Your work ethic and drive are going to get you through. I hope you have a very special holiday!

I’d enjoy knowing where you get your style from and I’m very interested in getting your feedback from the books you bought and read. I know you are honest and your reviews would be equally so. Good luck with your finals! YOU GOT THIS, DARI!

Hi Dari, Happy new year! I wish to thank you for your inspiring videos, because I live in Canada and I went south to Florida by car with my family for Christmas... and I feared to stop to NY (car traffic, big city etc), but you inspired me to stop by on our return trip. We spent 1 day visiting the Empire state building, time Square, etc etc I even saw the ice skating in Central Park. So many memories for the family now❤ Thanks to you!

[@JeffSchwenke]

New York City looks like so much fun during the holiday season! I've only visited during Summer.

[@Trick-Framed]

If you are going to do Times Square for New Year's Eve, which is almost a must for your first one, make sure to be with a dozen friends or more. The more people you are with the safer you are. There are ALOT of drunk people wandering around that night. People have gotten killed accidently there.

[@evegreenification]

I wonder if the same people who are attracted to world travel also enjoy Advent calendars the most? Something about opening new doors and seeing what you find. Thank you for your vlog!

[@VicariousAdventurer]

Also: American hockey rinks are about 15 feet narrower than the general international standard. So most rinks feel narrow to international travelers.

[@randomamerican6320]

Such an awesome vid Dari! It's absolutely wonderful seeing ya have such fun and exploring around NYC! I've visited twice back in '17 - '19, and both were amazing, but I gotta admit it does NOT compare to the 2 festivities you've been to thus far! It's so awesome everything you've experienced so far and your confidence is absolutely shining through it's impressive! You've become a lot more outgoing and really taking everything in stride! I think the person you were a year or 2 ago would be astounded at who've you've become! Done with the rant, I'll be looking forward to the next vid series!

I didn't have any problems when I watched your first video, but I watched this one too. In this one I caught that you poured hot water into a green cup, but you ended up drinking the tea from a white cup! Here's a slight correction on your English. You mentioned that you did not know the "ingredients" that were used in your sweater. Ingredients usually has to do with food of chemical formulas. When it comes to clothes, we say they are made of different cloths, or fabrics, or materials, or even yarns. Merry Christmas!

[@DariStep]

Merry Christmas!

[@rons3103]

Dari, don't get stressed out over the $35 Uber. You were basically dammed if do and dammed if you don't. Better the professor is late than you! Yes, the ice skating was pricy, but I will say, the view was amazing, you had fun, and you were with your friends, it could not be better! 👍👍 Cider is one of my favorites, but I will have to try it hot! (Always drink it cold and sometimes with hot cinnamon donuts, freshly made (Yummie)! It's great to see you so excited about the Christmas season. I think my neighbor has those same kind of lights on his house! Question: I know you are taking up and enjoying some of our traditions here, but will you still be celebrating your traditions from home as well (I think Sanction Ivan mention Christmas there is in Jan or something, but it nothing like here, or was it kind of similar)? Sorry, but I can not wish you good luck in your finals! I think your very smart and you will knock it out of the park because your hard work pays off. So, GOOD LUCK....with everything else! Ha-ha-ha! 😁😁 As always, your video was Amazing. Very well put together!

[@DariStep]

Thank you so much! Answering your question, I don’t really celebrate Russian Christmas, it’s mostly for religious people ✨ but I’ll have some russian food 😅

[@johnjamerson1759]

Dari, don't worry you will ace that final. See you next time.

[@Larry-jh8gf]

Great video Dasha! Best of luck on your finals, you've worked very hard your first semester and Im sure your grades will reflect that. New York is magical at Christmas time. Hopefully your friend gets to experience it with a nice snow storm. You must go to Decker Heights in Brooklyn to film the houses decorated with Christmas lights. Its unbelievable 3 or 4 streets of amazing light displays. Hot cider definitely needs some rum or bourbon in it to make it right. Merry Christmas to you and all your friends at St. John's

When you visited Ithaca you guys passed on the cider but it was non-alcoholic too! Alcoholic cider is called “hard cider”.

Alcoholic cider will generally be referred to as Hard Cider in the US, and regular cider is basically just fresh pressed apple juice, and apple juice is pasteurized and processed.

I'll admit, living in NYC for a couple of years, the holidays are truly the best there. Almost yearly, I read The Catcher in the Rye(especially with you eating the chicken dumplings & the horse carosel in the background) & Hearts in Atlantis(the "Hearts in Atlantis" & "Blind Willie" chapters) to get me in the mood. *if you have the chance, see The Rockettes in Radio City.

I want to share a recipe for a nice meal with you which is nice and probably cheap meal. Beans in tomato sauce. TexMex, I guess. I also cut finger thick onion rings which I sweat in a frying pan (slow cook) on low heat. Might take 20-30 mins. For the tomato sauce I use crushed tomatos, Sziracha sauce, honey, salt end pepper. You may also fry eggs, bacon and sausage + bread. Chive spring onion on top. Bon apetite. This is breakfast for me for four days.
