Greetings from Odesa Mama we are back after traveling for a month
so as you can see the shores of Black Sea a little bit off season right now and that is the theme of
today's vlog I want to give you a little bit of a taste what it's like to hang out in Odesa
Ukraine outside of summertime when obviously the hordes of horny guys invade the shores of
Black Sea here and it's a very different vibe but here you can see it's obviously
more tranquil you can probably hear the sound of the sea the waves behind me and yeah Odesa
is summer capital so what has it got to offer you in the winter time
And what is the weather like in the winter? - What is what? The weather? Ah the weather actually
it's so so it's between minus two and plus six but because it's weird next to black c
so it feels like -10 so I recommend you to buy a nice jacket before you come to Odesa
- You can see a little bit of snow behind me in fact it doesn't normally get that cold here in Odesa
we are by the seaside in the south of Ukraine so it's not Siberia but this winter we did get
a fair share of snow and it feels actually a lot colder when you're down by the port in particular
a lot of water in the air and it feels closer actually to minus 20 minus 25 at times I did go
down the port to film and I had to abort mission it was that cold my hands froze at the time but in
general the weather is pretty good for Eastern Europe here it's not the coldest spot to be
oh ah that winter sun has come out o sole mio did you know that the famous Italian song o sole mio
was actually written right here by a guy from Naples Giovanni Capurro
and actually you're going to see a lot of those vestiges of the Italian influence
on the early history of Odesa in the names of the restaurants and bars you got
Buffo you've got Bernardazzi for example you've got Fanconi these are all very nice places
in the center of the city and they are all named after famous Italians who helped design it
- You will eat it! It's for you!
- Let's see what happens when it comes whether you can resist it or not!
She claims that this is the tastiest lemon tart in the world
Alright where is the nightlife in the winter? - Nightlife is only in the city center
Arcadia is completely dead forget about it Deribasivkaya Katerinskaya area like two kilometers
around full of bars which is really good and we have a couple of bar
which open in this year I recommend you to visit they have amazing cocktails
- And what how would you describe the vibe is it like a fun vibe
or people sleepy? - Vibe a little bit sleepy and depressing
but that's why I recommend you to go to bar and before taking some glüwein to make your mood
somehow higher because you can see the weather is everything in a gray colors so you need some help
and this help call alcohol it's personally my tips my advice - So the the big tip from Marianna about
surviving the winter in Odesa is to get really drunk and be an alcoholic - It's actually no it's
not so bad and the good thing about Odesa is that people are actually very positive so wherever you go
you're definitely going to have fun it's just less places than during the summer and life concentrate
in a city center so it's even easier because all Odesa is hanging out only in the city center
