Hey guys, welcome to my channel
Guess where I am
I'm in Moscow.
This video will be about top 5 things
you don't know about Russia
but you totally should know them
if you want to come here
or if you're planning your trip
just random facts you wouldn't find on
wikipedia or other sources when you
googling like places to see in Moscow.
or thing to do in Moscow.
This is going to be my view of the city
and the country in general
So let's start. 0:01:17.919,0:01:00.329 Okay guys
Here's my fact.
Everything is in Russian.
You should learn Russian before coming here
because all the signs in the ungerground are in Russian,
all the names of the stations are in Russian
And if you can't read in Russian
you should find somebody who speaks English
and help you
and not all Russian speak English
actually, not many Russian speak English at all.
Here is some exhibition in front of the main church in Russia.
And it's all in Russian.
All in Russian.
Behind me is the exchange rate of Russian ruble.
They give you around 65 rubles for dollar.
And 72 rubles for euro.
The prices in Russia are really low.
So if you take an Uber
and it drives for like 20 minutes
they would charge you 5 dollars.
Maybe less.
If you go to a restaurant
we just went to a fancy restaurant,
we had lunch
we had sushi
we had fish
we had bread and
drinks
and it was less than 20 dollars
for 2 people
Russia is really nice in terms of food especially
quality - price balance
really good in terms of transport
Sometimes it's easier and cheaper for you to take an Uber
than to take metro for example
because 1 ride on moscow metro is little less than 1 $
So save your time
and drive with comfort
around Moscow. 0:03:15.284,0:02:59.453 Be aware of traffic in Moscow
too many cars
I use google
to navigate around Moscow. 0:03:27.065,0:03:25.513 it shows you how crazy the traffic is
everyone is so nervous
they use horns all the time
and also sometimes we have russian's official coming
and they'd close every single street
and people will be standing and waiting
for their security and these guys to come through.
So just be aware and
We crossed in red.
You can hear.. I don't know if it somebody's coming
or something's happening.
Don't really take an Uber
during the day especiallu from 5 to 7
wouldn't be the best idea
and in the morning.
But 11 am and then till 5 pm should be fine.
It's 5 pm now
and you see it's getting really busy.
Another fact that you'd probably known
but haven't realised the scale of it
Moscow has around 11 million inhabitants.
which means there are 11 million people in one city
and if you're from a small town
you'd be overwhelmed with amount of people around here
I feel a little scary sometimes
because so many people
in the underground you won't be able to sit down in the train
you have to squuize and find a place.
Today is Saturday
so it's not that busy.
But you should be aware a lot of people. 0:05:16.368,0:05:07.524 Look at all the people
So many people
everywhere
especially in a rash hour
All of those guys who've just finished work
heading back home
so be aware of them.
And everything is under construction
'cause they're renevating the centre
and hope that won't renovate it for 70 years!
And the thing I said about nice girls.
Sometimes central Moscow looks really weird
we're really close to the centre
and the houses are not that impressive
and looks like they're not taken care of
And you can see all of different styles of architecture
You can see modern houses, soviet houses
and it looks a little weird
because in bigger cities you see some style
or the style that is used to decorate the buildings
but here they're all very different
an appartment in such a house costs 1 million $
because it's very central
but the houses are not really nice.
