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.

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.

too many cars

I use google

to navigate around Moscow.

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.

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.
