[Russian] Hi from Odesa, Ukraine! [English] Welcome to Odesa Mama my spiritual
home here in Ukraine on the shores of the Black Sea it is early summer and I'm super
excited because it's the start of another summer season but should you bother coming to
Odesa anymore it's 2019 you want to go and check out my summer videos from 2018
and 2017 go link them up on a card and down below in the description but maybe
just maybe Odesa is a little bit passé a so in this video I'm going to give you
five reasons why you should consider coming to Odesa this summer let's go!
So the first reason why you should consider coming to Odesa this
summer are the prices and that doesn't mean just because it happens to be cheap
it's the value for money you're gonna get here in Ukraine that is unmatched in
the rest of Europe in my opinion my experience now prices have been increasing
though since the annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas and obviously the
revolution with EuroMaidan the currency took a huge drop it depreciated by about
sixty sixty to seventy percent that means the prices here were incredibly cheap
now that has started to change there is a bit of inflation in the last a year or
so and definitely this summer prices are more expensive than the previous one but
for value for money I just haven't seen anywhere else that's gonna compete with
you know Odesa as a seaside resort seaside city in Europe it's still gonna be
half the price of going to most of your other options in Western Europe
and Central Europe it's noticeably cheaper here as you can see it's a very
very hot summer's day late May and already it feels like the heart of summer
here and it's not just about you know low prices because then a lot of the time
places are just tacky and that's not what you want you want something that's gonna
be high level and where your dollar your euro pound is gonna go a lot further and
here in Odesa for sure it provides excellent value of your money it's in my
experience maybe even compared to Central Europe
it's like noticeably 50% cheaper still here in Odesa so that's reason number one
I just got back into the shade so somewhat as a corollary to point number one
or reason number one and it's gonna be reason number two is the ambience here
the restaurants the entertainment just a vibe the Odesan humor it just provides a
very unique experience in terms of just amazing food and options I just love
different variety of cuisine that you have here it's not just Ukrainian
obviously and I personally I happen to love Georgian cuisine one of my
favorites and that you find here find also like Crimean Tatar you're gonna
find obviously more international food like Italian very high quality what else
see how if you have Moldovan otherwise known as Bessarabian Odesa
cuisine Jewish cuisine you just have you know an amazing variety that you're
not gonna see definitely not in Western Europe and even in Central Europe and
even when you go further you know to the east to Russia it's still not exactly
like in Odesa I think it really has the uniqueness about it and that's my second
reason to consider coming here so reason number three and it's a very obvious one
you probably thought I was gonna start with it actually which is of course the
beauty of the local girls of Odesa
yeah it's another reason to come here and especially with the atmosphere the
party atmosphere the beach scene here in Odessa obviously it's a place where not
just girls from Odesa but from other parts of Ukraine and maybe Belarus in
particular come to hang out let loose and have fun during the summer so that's
another reason for you to clearly come here to Odesa Mama
Reason number four is what's right behind me there you should be able to
see it is the Odesa Opera House and the architecture because this city like I
was saying in my Odesa Summer 2018 video it's not a typical say Russian or
Ukrainian city I mean this was founded during the Russian Empire that's why I
say Russian as well it had a lot of influence from further west in Europe
and you can see that reflected in the city's architecture which was very
heavily influenced by architects from Austria Italy France you can see a lot
of names like the founder of the city Richelieu Langeron de Langeron
so you can hear the French influence and you can see that reflected in the
architecture of the city it's not a typical Ukrainian city in the
traditional architectural sense or you know the fact that the Soviets had to
rebuild a lot of Ukraine and that meant that they built it in that kind of ugly
Stalinistic way here you have a lot of the original architecture of course then
when you go down the coast you get that beach scene and just that seafront that goes
on for kilometers which gives it a obviously a very maritime appearance and
that is something that's part of the city's DNA it is a port and the fact that
it's by the sea and personally I grew up in Ireland so for me coming here that's why
I said it feels like my spiritual home really Odesa it's really is an amazing
place and I love being by the sea especially the weather's like this man. incredible!
okay all right then I'm gonna take off because I got a I actually have to go to
Lviv today okay thank you bye bye so that's cool seeing the influence already
today that these videos are having on people who visit Odesa that's the second
person has come up to me who watches the channel so the fifth reason is the
language and that's because people here speak in Russian in daily life like I
know of course that the official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian and I
have a lot of other content about why I learnt Ukrainian but here in Odesa people
speak Russian in everyday life and definitely that is a plus for me because
they speak it in a very peculiar special way Odesan humor or 'Odesan humor'
and yeah it just adds a different flavor especially once you've gotten over that
initial kind of basic level of Russian and if you're considering to learn Russian this
is a great place to consider doing it you're gonna have a fantastic time
you're gonna be by the seaside and that's something I really encourage you
to do is just at least get to that basic level it will transform your traveling
here and this is the city to do it in
that's it for today's video this Tip Thursday if you have enjoyed this
content of course go give it a big thumbs up smash that thumbs up button
and make sure that you ... whack that notification about beside it so you get
notified when I'm making more videos and it brings me to a very good point you
know you're watching my videos like a lot of people have come up to me on the
street today in Odesa and why don't you go come and live the tsar experience
with me and how you do that is you write can write me an email at
ConorClyne@TsarExperience.com

there is they're gonna send you a few questions to make sure that it is a good
fit for both of us to work together potentially and then we're gonna jump on
a free ten minute strategy call and gonna discuss how you can come and live
the tsar experience because you know what are you doing next weekend like
next weekend I'm heading to Minsk for example with a client it could be you
and that is the thing you know we tend to have this tendency to keep putting
things off and think I'll do it someday but if you've been watching these videos and
this is what you want to live then definitely you should write me and we
will jump on that strategy call if it works out and it could be you next
weekend it might be here in Odesa Odesa Mama or it could be in Kyiv it
