the rest Vitara beta ten years in the
making I have just made a dream come
true I am in Russia I'm basically right
in the center of it I am in Novosibirsk
which is the capital of Siberia if you
guys have been following along with my
vlogs you'll know that I spent three
weeks in Kazakhstan it was absolutely
amazing but my whole main goal of this
trip is to go across Russia from glad
you've a stop to Moscow all the flights
to Vladivostok from Astana had a stop in
Novosibirsk so I thought why not take a
little stop here since I'm coming here
anyway and I don't have to then stop
here on my way back so even though this
is a stopover and I'm not going to be
doing a crazy amount of filming while
here because I'm actually meeting a few
people and just want to take a few days
off I basically been filming every
single day I did want to give you guys
kind of the highlights of what the city
has to offer and my first impressions of
Russia so to say and what it's like to
actually be starting a dream that I have
had for probably over a decade now if
you guys have been following me for
quite some time you'll know that I have
wanted to come here for so long and it
was a bit of a tedious process to get
the visa and to financially be able to
make this happen
so I hope you guys will enjoy my video
and let's get to it
Novosibirsk
[Music]
alright guys I am basically in the
downtown poll right now I've got Lennon
right behind me I have good ass and I
blow on the other side past my
flowsheet is basically like the red
street you could say and if you walk up
and down this main sort of promenade
you're basically going to see the main
tourist sights of the city it'll take
you all the way down to the river there
are subway stops that are actually all
along this street as well because it's
really really long but basically in this
square with Lenin is where you'll find a
lot of restaurants there's central parks
just a little ways down so if you can I
would highly suggest getting your hotel
hostel Airbnb whatever you want to do
here because you are then kind of in the
center of things and everything's easily
accessible and speaking of which I am
actually staying in one of the best
rated hostels in novosibirsk it's called
a funky hostel and I actually saw it
mentioned in my Lonely Planet Russia
book as well and having stayed there now
I would highly recommend it it is a
really nice hostel it's about 14 15
dollars a night Canadian for the staff
speak both Russian and English and I
overall had a really positive experience
there and if you're interested in
booking a hostel I actually have a code
for you guys if you book with
booking.com
and don't have an account on there your
first booking will get you $25 off so
I'm gonna put that in my description
make sure you guys check it out and if
you're interested in something like
Airbnb I also have a code for that that
one's actually $45 off your first
booking when you sign up so if you don't
have accounts for either of those two
platforms and you're thinking of going
traveling make sure you hit the link
[Music]
so I'm just coming up to their gorgeous
Opera House here it's basically right
behind the big Lenin statue and
unfortunately for me I'm just missing
the start of the season they're not
having a show start until about mid
September so unfortunately I'm not going
to be able to see the opera or the
ballet while I'm here but obviously when
I make sure that if you guys are ever
thinking that seeing the ballet or the
opera and Russia is really important to
you make sure you check ahead of time
what their show schedules are because a
lot of the theaters do take kind of two
month-long breaks
usually they are in the summer so if
that's really important to you make sure
you check dates ahead of time
[Music]
well hello guys I am having the most
lovely time here in Novosibirsk
and today I am with a friend we are
walking around seeing the city and he
got us tickets to go to the circus here
in Noah CBR scan I think it's honestly
been probably like 20 years since I've
seen the Russian circus I think I went
when I was like really little before we
even moved to Canada so it's gonna be
fun

alright guys I hope you enjoyed this
little taste of Novosibirsk I myself
feel like I got a little taste of the
city I was only here for a few days but
it is a really beautiful city in its own
right and there is quite a few things to
see and do so I would definitely
recommend coming here if you're in the
area tomorrow is actually going to be
the actual start of my main train at
trans-siberian journey because tonight I
actually have my overnight flight from
Nova severe Stu bloody bus talk so I'll
actually probably vlog that so that's
what's gonna be coming up next make sure
to remember that if you guys don't have
a booking.com account or an Airbnb
account to sign up in the links in my
description because it does give you a
discount for some free travel and it
also helps my channel so thank you to
