it's November 28th in Yakutia and the temperature is already minus 40 degrees
Vasily is waking up in the early morning when it's dark and cold and slowly getting ready for his day
just like everyone else, first thing in the morning, he has to take care of his daily necessities
he has to put on many layers of clothes to prepare himself to go to the toilet
in the small village, there are no toilet facilities because the pipes freeze easily
just make sure to go to the toilet at the last minute, to make sure to get your business done fast
next up a very important part of his daily routine is to chop the wood to hit his house
in his traditional Russian stove
after hitting his home he tidies up his garden and sweeps away in the snow
there is no running tab water,
he will get the drinking water from blocks of ice which was cut from rivers on a daily basis
now he's collecting snow to wash his face and hands
after his morning routine he is finally ready for a tasty yakutian breakfast
his wife is preparing delicious traditional yakutian fried pancakes, they are my favorite
they are a big family with five kids and having a big family breakfast now it's time to take their
kids to the school and they have to make sure to dress them well with lots of layers of clothes
Vasily is a pastoral farmer now he's preparing some food for his cows
he prepares hay during the summer so he can feed his cows during the long and cold winters
now he's leading the cows to the nearest lake to drink
it's time to take the cows home, the winter is quite cold for them, so they will stay inside
oops, Vasily forget some of his cows, seems they are upset
that's all guys this is a morning routine in the coldest village on earth
have a great day and thumbs-ups for Vasily
