Go To Russian Post Office With Me | regular life in Russia and beautiful fall in Krasnodar

Wanted to take you with me to our local post office to send a couple of packages with socks and USSR postcards to my friends and relatives and show you how our post office looks like. Russian Post is something that people here usually make a lot of jokes about because it's quite slow, outdated, and sometimes lose packages but, honestly, I have to admit that it works better and better as years go by 📮✨

I get so excited whenever I see that you’ve posted video. I love learning more about your culture. It’s so interesting and fun!

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

Have you been interested in Russian culture for long?

[@milliearnold5087]

My husband was a mail carrier. He passed away 19 months ago but every country we visited he always would go check out the post office. Special memories. Thank you for the video. Your new town is beautiful. Love the videos.

[@heatherannshepardofficial8905]

I am sorry for your loss. What a neat idea to visit each post office!

[@sewpeaceful1906]

Thank you for letting me see Russia outside of the movies. Peace and thanks. 😊 😊

[@Penny-bt4gc]

I can’t get over how clean everything looks. You have a beautiful park to enjoy the autumn colours. I think the biggest misconception people have of Russia is that it’s old and not modern in comparison to the West. It really looks beautiful and you have all the same conveniences we have in the western part of the world.

[@ЛизаХ-л2г]

I'll tell you a secret that Russia has long overtaken the West in technology)) For example, recently in Moscow, at all stations, a fare payment for the face was earned, - 2 seconds and go to the metro. The tax system in Russia is the most convenient and modern! I am already silent about cheap and high-speed Internet, good cellular communication and luxurious public transport in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

It's very pretty, but too bad the graffiti doesn't get cleaned up. It looks really trashy. When I say it looks trashy, I mean anywhere there is graffiti, not just Russia.

[@karce77]

@@gingersmith2888 I agree with you. It’s so sad to see old beautiful buildings, statues etc with graffiti:( it ruins the atmosphere of a city and looks very inappropriate. In my city graffiti are constantly removed in the center part but not everywhere unfortunately. It costs a lot of money. Greetings from Siberia

[@kkungkkung6013]

Yes, I think it's worldwide some people dont like being filmed. Sometimes other youtubers blur strangers' faces in their final edited videos/vlogs, you might want to consider to do that as well. But the way you handled the situation really amazes me; you still could smile and being light-hearted ❤️👏

[@n.jboltz599]

I don't know if they get bothered about someone filming just in the vicinity, so long as the camera isn't pointed at them. Even then in a lot of places the general mindset is tough, expectation of privacy is reduced in general public.

[@tillievantonder]

I've always seen her blur faces in previous videos, which I thought was very thoughtful. I agree with you, she's always sweet about difficult situations!

[@houndlover870]

I'm not crazy about being filmed either but I'm not going to be mean to anyone about it. For all they know, you might have been filming for a college project. You certainly look young enough. Sorry people can be so rude. ♥️ Love from America!

[@HouseFlipperJenn]

I have never ever seen or heard a negative neither agressive comment when there's a camera in someones hand here in Latin America... It's not worldwide, maybe is related to the age?

[@caroleberreur9585]

I don’t really think it’s a big thing here (Western Europe, UK, Belgium, France). Some people are paranoid that you’re filming something they’re doing, but generally, we have also many youtubers, and it doesn’t phase us anymore.

[@MrsStewartRathbone]

You feel so much happier in Krasnodar! Everything from the music to the images, even your beautiful smile and your eyes are brighter. It's wonderful to see you're having such a good time now that you're back home!

I admire your bravery in filming in a country where most people are offended if you film them. We were lucky that you did that as we could see what it is really like in a Russian Post Office. The scenes of your walk through the area where the trees were turning their autumnal colors were so beautiful. Krasnador looks like a well kept city with historic buildings and monuments. Thanks for this vlog today. I hope that you and your family have a pleasant and rewarding week. 🤗❤🍁🍂🙏🌎

[@bondmood]

Well, you may never see this comment, but I really enjoyed the birds at the end. I had to Google to see what they were (I knew some type of jay) and they're Eurasian Jays. I'd love if you guys just walked in the woods or something and filmed birds, plants, flowers. You could have a picnic! 🙂

I like your new town so much better, it looks like there's more nature and trees, it looks happier. I find the Russian alphabet letters so intimidating! It looks like it would be hard to learn. I admire anyone who can speak another language. Thanks for taking me along on your errand!

[@HippoPixel]

the cyrillic alphabet itself isn’t actually that hard to decipher, once you understand how each letter sounds! you should give it a go. of course you would still have to learn the russian language to properly read and understand it, but it is fun to be able to read some simple signs and words :) and oftentimes it sounds enough like english that you will know what it means!

[@zipi3132]

I don’t know why I’m watching this, because I am Russian too and live here. I had to visit the post office several times, it was a long time ago and since then I have been trying to avoid such stress. By the way, I have a version why some people in the post office were annoyed. A space like that, even being modernized, pulls out all the negative from the subconscious. The same thing happens in clinics, pharmacies and other social facilities. The collective memory of the long, dreary hours of waiting in a line that doesn't seem to move... Well, thank you for the video and for giving me a reason to practice my English))) Beautiful quiet autumn, I really enjoyed this walk. Best wishes from St. Petersburg.

In general I think people just get suspicious when filmed. I think you handled it very well. I can't remember the last time I was in a post office so that was very interesting. I used to love the post office but with other ways to ship things that are more convenient I haven't had the need. The rest of your video was so pretty.

[@xymonau2468]

That was fascinating. Over the years in Australia, the Post Office began selling some electronic equipment and office supplies. They also sell some children's toys, and lots of gift items like pens, keychains, fancy notebooks, fancy cups, fridge magnets, and a variety of other gift items. They never stock food items. I found that part of yours fascinating, and I imagine if someone is in a hurry, they could grab a few groceries there in the one trip. Handy for the elderly, maybe? I wonder if they are more expensive than in grocery stores? The town looks so pretty! Australian trees are evergreens, so we don't have that autumn colour, which is beautiful. In some places where foreign trees are in abundance you can see it on a small scale. What were those little birds? They are beautiful! That splash of blue on the wing was delightful. I had a friend who went to Russia with a group and loved it there. He returned a number of times, and married a Russian woman and brought her and her daughter back to Australia. I'm sure it was a bit of a culture shock to her. I never got to meet her as I had already moved away, but he told me she was amazing and loved her so much. Great video. Seeing daily life is so interesting.

[@Anne-id2zt]

The bird with blue spot on the wing is a jay. From their German name (Eichelhäher) you can hear that they collect acorns and hide them for the winter (I think). They have a great memory but occasionaly they forget a spot or are unable to eat the acorn (death, ...) resulting in the acorns growing into trees. Oak tress really need the light so they benefit from being hidden in a relatively open enviroment. Anyway the jay is related to ravens and the magpie but I think it's the most beautiful one. They make a "jay"-sound, hence the name.

[@Anne-id2zt]

Btw, you can find it in Europe, North Africa and then in a belt across Turkey, China to Indonesia.

[@sandor7594]

Not fascinating! The Post Office a very traditional establishment overall. A historical function for modern society with symbols: in England (red, black) in Germany (yellow) and own symbol the post horn. Not a Turkish basar!

[@trailerparksupervisor7046]

What a load of rubbish. Many post offices in Australia sell chocolate, gum etc. You are either ignorant or a liar.

[@lindsay_may]

@@trailerparksupervisor7046 wow that's kind of a rude response! I'm also Australian and I haven't seen food in any of our local post offices either. We have a lot more books, puzzles, children's educational workbooks, small toys and things like that. Maybe some do sell food, but it doesn't make someone a liar if they haven't seen that before.

So many things that are part of your everyday life are so different to mine. Even the birds are some that I have never seen before! Thank you! ❤

[@user-ro1vu9di2q]

In Greece we have nothing 😂 like here the post office has a big line and there is a "security guy" he seems like he doesn't care about the job. Also there is a machine with tickets and it gives you a number and you wait for your turn. That broke months ago and they still haven't fixed it. And the people who work there are sometimes rude. I love your videos💜💜💜

[@fvances]

I think having food and household items there to sell is a great idea. Maybe you’re sending a goodie package and want to add more. Or you need something and this will keep you from making an extra stop. I wish our post offices did that.

I get excited when I see you have uploaded a video as well. I asked my husband to watch one of your videos. He enjoyed it very much. You are helping people break many stereotypes, we love learning about life in Russia. I think it's a good idea to register everything before time, I don't think we can for everyday parcels. Maybe some. It is a very pretty walk :-) I can see a pink shopping cart being pulled by a man in the street; this is what I think would suit you bring your things home from the supermarket etc. Outpost offices in Australia have many extra things to buy as well; however, the candy and other household items are not sold in the Post Offices in the USA - they sell postal-related items, for example: posting boxes, stamps, cards, etc. I would not try to film people anywhere here or in Australia. They would consider it a violation of their privacy. I think you would find this to be worldwide. Thank you for the video.

[@sebastianzretthogf3516]

I specially love the way you subscribe your video´s with the music. That delivers a great atmosphere.

[@ginger1549]

Here in the USA all they sell in the post office are stamps (postage) boxes and various envelopes. In some small towns , like where I live in Florida, the post office is just a small window in a store.They have a MAC machine (banking machine) but no actual bank window in the post office.Still, it is convenient to get money there if you need to. At Christmas time people here send Christmas greeting cards to all our friends & family. At that time the post office prints special stamps with nativitiy scenes or Santa Clause on them. It stays warm all year where I live so we don't have the beauty of Fall leaves etc, or the nice crisp air.

[@LeoCapaldi]

In the UK, Post Offices started selling related stationery items, Many smaller P-Os now share premises with convenience stores but are separate cash-desks. The on-line facilities seem similar, offering pay on-line and drop off at P-O. It is usually a bit cheaper paying that way so it looks like the company want the customers to do some of the work so that they can cut P-O staff jobs. Its best to be discreet when filming and turn camera downwards when people are in shot. Some people get very annoyed and can turn violent.
