The last time I came to Kyiv's Troieshchyna Bazaar was with Bald and Bankrupt almost 2 years ago. At the time this area of the city was known as the danger zone, and funny enough, people in the city center still consider it so.

Those 2 old Vietnamese dudes were so chill. My family is Vietnamese and I'm so glad you visited that shop and supported the owners. I honestly feel so bad for the Vietnamese people going through the war in Ukraine, simply because I know what our people have been through already. Of course, nobody deserves war, but frankly, it feels like watching my own family navigate a brutal and indiscriminant war (for the second time). Tragedy.

For information, the babuska with melons at the clothing market buys her produce at a huge vegetable market near the trucks with watermelons. You can have better deals there 😉 I spent my first 23 years of life there and I only was attacked a couple of times, so it's not especially dangerous. I can see that these places have not changed since I left Ukraine 11 years ago.

2:44 Honestly hearing about how companies in the West are still doing business in Russia just under different brand names, really pisses me off! We had an agreement as nations that came together to sanction the hell out of Russia for their acts of aggression and here we have companies not honoring that agreement by selling the products through secondary networks through Turkey and Georgia. A lesson we all seem to keep forgetting myself included is that corporations are not your friends and will sellout your country and it's allies for a few extra billion dollars... then again it's what General Motors and Coca cola did as well in WW2 they can deny it all they want and say they "lost control over their factories in Germany" but there is documentation in both the US and German archives proving that they did aid the Nazis in WW2 and in fact have profited off of forced labor camps in Germany to make a quick buck. At this point if we truly want to help Ukraine we must Boycott the companies that still have shops in Russia especially the one's hiding under a different brand name cause even though it's a different brand or name the money is still going back to the PARENT company and do what we did to Russian billionaires by seizing their wealth and assets as punishment for their treason.

Lol! 😂 I can see how a little child or even a teenager would feel in that sort of predicament… 🤣 I don’t mean to laugh, but at the same time I can’t help myself - hahaha!! 😝 Surprisingly, even here on the other side of the globe we had quite similar experiences, though they weren’t due to the lack of malls or places to go clothes shopping. In a good number of cities we had (and still do) weekly flea markets (which are typically called farmers markets), and you can buy everything from soup to nuts in these places, always for extremely cheap prices (compared to regular stores). Usually the clothing and higher priced goods were housed inside buildings onsite (filled with vendor stalls), and it was only the foodstuffs outdoors (except for meat products - they were indoors too). However, there were a number of sellers who either couldn’t afford an indoor station or booked a spot too late (of the available stalls that weren’t already rented seasonally) so you ended up with the same situation. Thankfully the times I remember going there as a child and trying stuff on (in the winter) usually was limited to a new coat or other outdoor apparel… Still chilly, but certainly nothing like trying on a t-shirt or underwear!! 😂😂😂 You’ll get over it someday, right?!? 🤭

I've hardly ever felt threatened in Kyiv. As a young girl I used to go out later after work and even coming back after dark by myself I never felt endangered. Now I'm in Europe (Budapest) and even in the middle of the day this place freaks me out sometimes. The worst part is not all the homeless/drunk/mental people, but the fact that in case someone acts aggressive, the people around don't do ANYTHING. I've witnessed a couple of ugly scenes, and there were multiple folks standing around, able to stop it, but did jack shit.

*Johnny this sounds a bit of an odd thing to think about* but I was talking to an Estonian friend of mine who's in Poland right now and we were talking about the difference between being inside of Ukraine and outside. Being a designer and thinking about colour and aesthetics a lot, she felt like it wasn't so much about being in night and day but rather that being in Poland or Estonia felt like being in full glorious technicolor but felt that crossing over the border, those colours get washed out and feels more grey. I see what she says. One of your older videos showed you and a friend heading off to a Polish shopping centre to get McDonalds, and it felt lively and vibrant like any European city. But watching you cross over the border and travelling for a while, it sort of felt grey, even though your camera depicts a lot of activity going on over there. You get the feeling that, just over the wall life is going to be grim. But I watch this video, and whilst I see people are doing the best that they can - despite the potato head in the Kremlin, the Ukraine's inhabitants seem to still have a warm character to them which helps to repaint the colour back into the picture. Apologies for using this analogy but its great to see you bring all aspects of Ukraine on to the screen for us to see. I will one day visit Ukraine. 🇺🇦 ❤ 🇬🇧

@JohnnyFD
@JohnnyFD 11 ай бұрын
You're smart! The intake of air (through the slurp ‘n’ suck technique) exposes the noodles and broth to oxygen. This has the effect of bringing out more flavours through the process of aeration. It all sounds very scientific, but people who are supposed to know about these things (chefs, scientists…..food bloggers), tend to agree that the process leads to a fuller, richer, smoother taste. Wine tasters follow a similar practice: allowing air into their glass, mouth and nasal passages in order to get a full spectrum and spread of flavours. Interestingly, the same argument could be made for the benefits of eating with your mouth open (there goes another established Western ‘table manner’).

I appreciate you making videos from Ukraine :) However, I wouldn't recommend them to somebody trying to learn more about the country. Eg, "this is the last remaining place in Ukraine where you can get Asian food by Asian people, because everyone left" - huh? Ukraine is a huge country, and I've only been to Lviv (and countryside) recently, but even I know of several Asian food places where food is made by Asians 😄 Please don't generalise and state something that you don't know. It's better to say eg "other Asian places I went to have now closed" or something, but don't try to present something as facts if you don't know. It would matter less if it wouldn't be the war, but these days random propagandists use whetever disinfo they find and try to turn things around, so please keep to personal impressions rather than fuel the barrage of misinformation coming from all places when people try to learn more about Ukraine.

I learned today how to eat soup Asian style. I'm going to try next time. I was in a similiar kind of clothing bazaar in Latvia and I liked the atmosphere so much so I bought a shirt I never used after. Your place looks even more inviting. If there are any Vyshyvankas under 200 euros, one would leave with me.

I’d gladly pay $200 bucks for a homemade Vyshyvanka that’s actually embroidered with beads and the like… 👍 I’m positive it’d be a great business (and earnings) opportunity for so many babushkas in Ukraine too if they only had a site setup for their use, plus locals to assist them in getting their makings to market and help them with shipping! I know that even those who put in their 40+ years of work get an absolute pittance for a pension (certainly not enough to survive on), and to think of how much good it could do them (and Ukraine’s overall economy) if all these granny’s were able to sell a few homemade goods like this each month?!? Especially if those helping them weren’t in it only for the money, and possibly even do it pro-bono (minus expenses)…

@@MikeOxlong- If I heard right, the one in video costs 1800 dollars, which sounds right price for a real handmade national costume. My budjet is under 200 if there are shirts at that price. Doesn't have to be handmade.

Johnny did not explain all of it either. When you do that w you host, the person providing the food, by slurping , you are saying, "It's delicious, thank you." This is why people do bit in my estimation, you just eat and you say "thanks" at the same time.
