Let's go. My name is Tanky. Will you introduce yourself? Yeah, so when did you come to Korea? Just came from Russia. What's your first time?

You came to Korea first time? Nice to meet you. You nice to meet you. Yeah. What did you know about Korea before you came to Korea? Skincare, like Korean beauty standards.

About kimchi. I heard that there's a Russian kimchi. It's made of carrots. Yeah, but it's called like Korean carrot Marka.

People in Russia actually think that this is like Korean dish. It's like carrot but cooked with spices and a bit spicy carrot.

I like kimchi much more. Oh, really? Yeah, kimchi. What makes you come to Korea? Because I think that Korea is a safe country. I was working in Russia.

I was more like an influencer, like content creator. What kind of influencer? TikTok? Right now in Russia, TikTok is blocked. Instagram is blocked.

You can, but people still watching YouTube, right? I don't remember. It's kind of complicated right now, but I'm fine. I'm living in Korea. Saint Petersburg.

Again, PBG. I heard that people don't like Moscow people. Yeah, you're from Moscow, right? Yeah. People who live in Moscow and people who live in Peter usually compare each other.

For example, oh, Moscow is bigger. Our salary is higher. And Moscow is more about work, office, these kind of things. And Peter is like elegance.

Yeah, yeah. Elegance. It's more about elegance and Moscow is more about money. I like Moscow. Used to be the capital city.

You need to practice. Every Russian can do that. Yeah, that's interesting. When they come to Moscow, they're like, oh my. When I come to Peter, oh, weather in Peter is so bad.

It's so rainy. Where is the sun? Because it's colder there and rainy. Not that much sun.

just a bit darker vibe, like this mystery atmosphere. But Moscow, it's usually more sun, less rain, bigger, cleaner, higher salary, higher prices. Higher prices for everything.

The cost of living is more expensive. Yeah, Moscow is very expensive. Then why do people live there? Because it's the best place to live in Russia. If you've ever visited Russia, I think you'll understand.

Because even some Russians, I think Moscow, it's not like Russia. It's not like all other cities in Russia.

Moscow just has more opportunities, more things to do. It's really good. Moscow is so good to live in, and you came to Korea. Moscow is so good, but Seoul is better.

So, are you satisfied with living in Korea right now? Yeah, even though the weather right now is a bit killing me.

It's okay. Moscow is colder, right? Moscow is not colder, I think. Just snow, it's like freaking a lot. And in Seoul, it was like But I think for me it's better because I hated like a lot of snow, and later it became liquid mess.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like to drink everything: tea, coffee, alcohol. At home. At home. Yeah. As you're Russian, what culture do you like?

Not in the streets, yeah, probably people will not smile to you a lot. But Russians are really kind people and open-hearted. Oh, for Russians, just to you know, you can meet, and at the same day you can be like, "Oh, you're my brother.

I love you. I will help you for the rest of my life.

If something happens to you, just call me. I will be there for you." So this is like Russian big heart thing. Just like, I like you, friends like this, and really be true about it, not like fake it.

We really mean it. Like, like smile to you, they really want to smile.

to you, so they're like not faking emotions or feelings. So if a Russian person doesn't like you, probably will say it to you straightforward. Like usually, if I don't like somebody, it's like written on my face.

I'm like, oh, that's why your face expression was so mad.

First, it's that one person, sorry. I need a break. I need a Papo break. You carry for everyone and everyone carry for you. Something like that, like a team.

So you told me that Seoul is better than Moscow. What makes me think that the food in Korea is just amazing.

I come on, you know my work is a model. For me, it's better not to eat that. For me, it's painful. I feel more life joy here. You have so many things to do in Korea, so many places you can go, so much food you can try.

Right now in Russia, you can't watch like, like Hollywood movies in the cinema or something like that because right now it's just nothing is allowed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, Seoul is better. Okay.

I'm not going to ask about your political position. Next question. So what's your favorite Russian food? Salads, borsch, mandu. That's why I like Korean mandu.

But Korean is spicy. Next question. What is bad thing? It's not really bad, it's just for me it's different. I understand it, but it's not really comfortable for me.

Situation: I walk a lot and I'm walking. Yay, life is fun. But then I see lots of lots of trash on the streets and I know that this is like after some, you know, car will come and like, but to me it's in Moscow there's no trash on the street.

On the street, no. Just special, you know, how to say, like places. In Russia, people don't recycle.

I think it's better, it's easier to live. So you don't care at all. You're like, yeah, it's easy to live, really. But for me, it feels like a little bit, oh, I do something bad for this Earth.

I don't like it. In Korea, I feel good about recycling.

But I don't feel good about seeing Seoul. The street is cleaner than Moscow, right? No, Moscow is really clean. Maybe some other towns, other cities, I don't know how clean they are.

But I lived in Moscow and yeah, Moscow is clean. The government put really big effort, so it's cleaning all the time.

Interesting. And we have, uh, like trash boxes on the street everywhere. In Seoul, it's like not that easy to find a trash bin.

Kind of a complicated task. Sometimes you can find it, sometimes you're just walking with your, like, yeah. In Russia, it's not like that.

You can always... I heard an interesting story that Russian men have to give up their seat when the woman stands in front of them. Is it true? Yeah.

Usually, Russian men, when you like go to subway, standing in a train, and if there is a man sitting and there is no other space, then usually they get up and like, please, woman, sit down, princess.

Interesting experience in Korea because you're princess as a Russian, but men don't give up their seat to you.

Yeah, I know that people here don't do it, so I'm like not offended or something like that.

If in Russia I'm standing in front of the man and the man is just like sitting and like, I would be... In Korea, I would be just like, you can say that to a man sitting in front of you, I want to sit there.

Yeah, I think I did this because when I was really tired and it always depends on a person.

So, if you are tired and you are looking for a guy in Russia, we have some this rule.

It's just like cultural. Men usually get up and if they saw see someone, for example, I'm sitting and then I see someone who's older than me, grandmother, grandfather, I will get up and be like, "Please, sit down." I did this all the time in Russia and men do the same for women.

Or for also for someone who is older. But in Korea, you have specific, you know, places for pregnant women, for older people. And in Russia, there is no like special place for pregnant women or special place for older people.

No, it's just like, just when someone like enters the train, we're like, "Oh, sorry." Interesting because I heard that women's position is under men in relationships.

Russian women are really, "Where is my flowers? Will you open the car door for me?

Would you take me for a dinner?" Like this. "So what do your parents do? Mom, doctor." So where do you work? "You work at a supermarket." "Buy." Her money is her money and my money is also her money.

If you want to say, "I love you," then bring me a gift.

For example, men be like, "Oh, I miss you so much. You're so beautiful. I love you." And Russian women will be like, "It's just words.

Where is my gift?" Like, yeah, if you want to say, "I love you," then just bring me a gift. If you say, "I love you" empty-handed, empty-handed, that that doesn't mean anything.

Wow. But after married, I'm not married, that's why I don't know what happens after.

Russian girls, they know their value. They're like, "I'm beautiful! Yay!" "So how many gifts did you get?" "I countless." Yeah, let's go to eat.

Woohoo! This place is so cute. My first time here. So, in comparison to Moscow, it feels more crowded.

So, it's big, but most of the population in Korea is coming to Seoul. It's the same situation with Moscow. Lots of people come to Moscow to study, work, etc. What level are you in Korean?

Maybe two or three, something like that. The same with my friend. My friend who has been living in Korea for 9 years. What? This can't be possible.

9 years is enough to speak like a native speaker. This, this, this one. Oh.
