After that, I spent several years residing in various Asian cities such as Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Macau, and Bali.

Hi Lisa. I am a 71 year old Turkish citizen. I have lived in many countries around the world. About 10 years ago, my wife and I decided to go from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok by campervan and then fly to Kamchatka by plane. Unfortunately, heavy operations came one after the other. Our dream is still alive. Maybe one day we will realise our dream and you will guide us in Vladivostok.

Great music and walking tour. The hills and foggy weather are very interesting. Vladivostok is in an amazing geographic location and has incredible sea and ocean coasts. It is the largest Russian Pacific port and headquarters of the Russian Navy Pacific fleet. Most Americans do not know that Russia borders both China and North Korea and Vladivostok is very near to both. Incredible facts. Do Russian people travel by train to both China and North Korea? For many Russians, this is obviously their home. Thank you beautiful Lisa for your personal tour of your hometown. 😍🤩❤

Yes, but not for breathing. Very moist, hot, hard to breathe. The city is located mostly on the high hills, but this particular part of the city is nothing but hills and fog. You go to walk you constantly climb, you sweat, you get tired in 20 minutes. Lovely swamp on the hills. Strongly not recommend.

Wow impressive how they build all those huge buildings on those hills , unbelievable, definitely I'd love to go and see the center of course but also walk out of the tourist path and check out those neighborhoods, I'm intrigued how they built all those buildings in such difficult terrains and areas. The weather is like the Bay Area no doubt, in summer the Bay Area is foggy and in winter too!! And believe me , if you compare Vladivostok to say Oakland, Vladivostok looks much better. Great video , Good job !!

Зима самое солнечное время года во Владивостоке :). В каждом уголке планеты свой климат и он уникальный. Меня удивил климат в Коста-Рике. В горах 16°С, спускаешься с горы и 32°С. Такой температурный разброс не характерен для Владивостока.

Even though I have been living in Vladivostok for almost 5 years now, I see interesting places in your Vladivostok videos that I have not seen before and need to go check them out.. But what was really cool with this video is to actually see a couple of people in the background that I actually know. Particularly at 13:18 with one of my fellow biker friends on his bike 🤙

@helenscoffield Месяц назад

Thankyou for showing us! Fitting that your building should be a happy pink! The terracing of buildings following the curves of the mountain with plenty of natural green spaces between them, plus the magnificent ocean views are a great housing solution. It seems quiet and elegant without businesses facing the street, as multicoloured word signs are such a tinny-tinny eye sore in cities!... A couple of proper restaurants and tea rooms would be nice, as the pastries do look tasty....an architect, gardener and decorator make all the difference. Painting and maintenance in salty foggy places is typically endless. Wood or stainless steel rails and decks would look nice with the wildflowers now the trees are young. We loved looking for grasshoppers, caterpillars, ladybirds and mantises 🐝🦋🌼in the playground long grass, and sliding down embankments on cardboard magic carpets. Ah....! Childhood days!

I lived there. A piercing wind blows there most of the year. The humidity is also very high in summer. Terrible traffic jams every day. There is no place to park the car, the bus does not run normally. These are boxes for people on the mountainside. Thousands of people live there. They all need to leave the area for work and then return. Every day. On foot, can you handle a climb a couple of hundred meters high and a couple of kilometers long? There are stairs everywhere. There will be ten floors of stairs between you and the nearest store. In winter it is all covered with snow and ice. It looks interesting and beautiful on the screen, but in reality it is a terrible area, one of the worst in the city. I lived there for 20 years, I know what I'm talking about.

Hi Lisa…. Another great vlog from Vladivostok. You may be surprised to know that… in the 60's 70's and 80's, we were building in England exactly the same 'concrete grey' high rise flats that were built in Soviet Russian times. And just like you, some are being upgraded, but a lot are being replaced with more up to date architecture. Loved those two children at the end of your vlog. And yes, children are just as curious here in the UK and ask exactly the same questions! I am looking forward to your next chapter!

Thanks for making these. Especially about the marina. There’s space to modernize here and there but can’t think of anywhere with as much ‘instant’ potential if we can finally have some peace (past (arctic) trade routes add Power of Siberia 1 and 2 pipes and (big) if a friendlier America reindustrializes). Most and worst car jams and accidents on noodle roads or not, Silent Hill mist is always OK. Seems even more cloudy but not as rainy as where I’m from (Bergen in Norway). Have to go between them like a yo-yo for many decades to be sure in my report about which is really the Chongqing (have to go there too) of sea port cities.

Your video would’ve brought out more of the city and the water bordering it had been clear. You know this is what black and white photography looks like: light and shadows. And sometimes you can capture the mood of a place where you can’t bring out contrasts. Thanks for the video and your hometown is special no matter whether it appears day or night in the camera.

@user-ov2rh6qw4c 18 дней назад

The concrete jungle sounds very negative. But it has its positive aspects. Most people can afford to have their own apartment, not to live on the street. Especially in the Siberian climate, where the apartment must be heated from September to May. And on cold days, the temperature drops to -50'C. This is outside the city, and in the city it is 5 degrees warmer. To live outside the city, you just need a car, and in the city you can do without it, since there is public transport. You can go to the store on foot. And much more.
