first time for my second chance
[Music]
well hello friends I am currently in
Yekaterinburg
which is the fourth largest city in
Russia and might I say might be my
favorite city so far that I've seen on
this trip like obviously I've been to
Moscow and st. Petersburg and those are
the shining stars as far our cities go
in Russia but yogatina and bordick has
this interesting sort of charm to it
where it's obviously a large city it has
a lot to offer but it just feels more
peaceful and relaxed and you definitely
get a very traditional Russian feel here
I don't feel like there's actually that
many tourists here I would really
recommend this city and overall I've
actually found the people really really
friendly I actually shot some really
good stuff with reporter fie here I did
some Street interviews so I'm actually
gonna insert a little clip for you guys
of a couple of chats that I had with the
locals here and if you guys are
interested in checking out the full in
the description
[Music]
move it I see emoji but getting back to
you considering would what this city is
probably most known for is the fact that
the last of the Russian royal family
before the Soviet Union really took over
was murdered here in yakety and border
and I'm actually going to show you guys
the place where that happened so I hope
you guys are interested I hope you enjoy
the video and let's get to it
[Music]
in this way despair
find something truth out alai
won't stress
and know that you made up your mind
[Music]
so here we are at the site where the
Russian royal family was murdered this
is called Haram knockoff which
translates to church on blood and this
church itself is not the actual place
where the royal family was murdered but
it was built on top of the house which I
believe was an electricians house just a
very simple house that the royal family
was being kept in by the Bolsheviks the
Red Army basically the start of
communism with Lenin they were being
kept in exile and then one night I
believe it was July 17 1918 the entire
family was murdered in the basement of
that house from what I've read people
were overall not happy with the rule of
nicholas ii who was the last king of
russia where after the first world war
russia had suffered so many casualties
and just had a very low standard of
living and of course the royal family
being the leadership were blamed on that
so basically from the time that
communism really started to take reign
nicholas ii ended up stepping down it is
truly one of the most beautiful churches
in all of russia but of course a very
tragic history
[Music]
canards lying down
I won't her
[Music]
as your eyes
[Music]
well that was honestly a bit depressing
actually such a stunning church but
quite sad who's to say who deserves to
die that's the one thing that really
shocks me about people that are super
Pro death penalty and I guess actually
when I was younger I actually for
whatever reason thought that the death
penalty was fine but first of all I
think humans can make errors of thinking
somebody's guilty when they're not and
the death penalty is kind of the worst
thing you could do if you're wrong but
second of all especially when it comes
to you know children it's like how could
you kill a child it doesn't matter who
they're related to or you know what role
they have in society like how could you
do that so it's just sad obviously and
very dark part of history but I mean
Russian history is littered with
absolute tragedy it's one of those
nations that has been through so much
which is why I still feel like in the
generations that have passed Russians
are very resilient and strong people
because they have been through so much
oh my god you guys the arrow Roche is
out of this world if you guys come here
you have to get this so here we are at
this tallest building in you concede in
wood
it's called Vysotsky which kind of
translates to the highest like literally
I guess the highest building here so not
the most original name but I guess it
gets the point across
[Music]
well I am very pleasantly surprised I
have to say guys I was not expecting
this good of a view and I don't think I
actually realized that you continue in
Bullock is as big as it is like I know
obviously I said it's the fourth largest
city but I think until you actually see
the city from above do you actually get
a scale of what you're dealing with so I
would have a hundred percent recommend
and coming up here I always like when
towers of our open air it gives you a
more lively sort of experience and it
was about seven Canadian dollars or five
American dollars to come up here so very
well worth an amazing view highly
recommend
[Music]
alright guys we are back in the downtown
core and we are going to this restaurant
called posh tip which is supposed to be
sick so let's see what it's like
all right so I am already very impressed
the interior of this place is so
beautiful and has such a unique style
it's like Russian but rustic vintage and
kind of seventies colors if that makes
any sense
so I'm really excited to try it out
[Music]
grilled avocado that is definitely not a
Russian dish but come chovka crab so
crab from Kamchatka and Russia so very
fancy oh so for those of you who don't
know what quest yet means in Russian is
like pate so here I guess this is like
their name dish it's a pate platter so
different kinds of pureed meat you could
say on bread Russian classics but
definitely with some fusion to it which
is really cool I really love seeing that
because you can find like classic
Russian food everywhere but I really
like when they do a different kind of
twist to it and of course Padmini which
is like dumplings with meat very Russian
but they have very unique kinds of
Padmini this is crab beating mini that
actually looks really good salmon and
pike perch with cream sauce and red
caviar also really unique
[Music]
and the desserts also look incredible so
I ended up getting a very nice read from
Italy and a meal that I don't think I
have had in probably four years so I
ended up getting a steak like I said I
have been basically plant-based for the
last four years I mean I have meat and
dairy definitely once in a while but
it's a rarity but on this trip I've
definitely had my share of meat but
likely we'll be going back to
plant-based when I'm back to Canada but
thought I would try it because
apparently this is supposed to be one of
their best dishes here there are some
truffle mushrooms I believe they are
called and a very unique kind of mashed
potatoes I actually don't know what's in
there but it kind of looks spotted and a
bit of a darker color so I'm excited to
try it out
so that steak was actually pretty
amazing but now I am on to dessert and
everything looks so good but I feel like
I have to go with what I know is my top
favorite dessert ever which is creme
brulee I just can't pass this up so I
think I'm gonna get this in a coffee and
call it a night
so here we are guys the creme brulee
looks amazing they gave me the longest
spoon for it I got an Americano and I'm
ready to sleep to be honest basically
came 230 Canadian dollars or like 25
American so definitely worth it for the
quality and I got quite a few things so
I am super happy all right guys I hope
you enjoyed today's video and enjoyed
this little look of you consider a new
board I would love to know what you guys
thought in the comments down below let
me know if you've ever been here or what
you'd recommend doing if you're actually
from negative in wood but other than
that I hope you guys are having an
amazing day keeping your own kind of
beautiful and I will see you soon
bye guys
