Speaking to an Immigrant about the American Dream. 

I'm so happy we had the chance to meet and explore Kuala Lumpur! Really enjoyed our chat as well 😊

Hey guys. This channel was originally about Russia😂 but now I’m just gonna be posting whatever I think is interesting. So expect Cambodian countryside very soon😃

Love this vlog. Being an American it is nice to hear good things about the people, especially from others who were not born here. Thanks to both of you for your stories.

Like the guest I had no idea this channel's host was a Russian national. 😅 Interesting chat. Despite some anti-immigrant rhetoric, being common throughout human history, mobility has been a net positive. In the US, social and economic mobility still makes it a great destination. Most of the people against it in the US are unwilling to move at all, either from their state, home town, or couch. 😐 These are the people who would really benefit from travel.

Bravo Slava, We need more people like you that can connect with people around the world. Love your videos.

What a great guest Slava! His parents taught him well to respect all people and to work hard. Thank you for this interesting video!!

Nice to see young people traveling the world sharing what they experience. This does, indeed, bring humanity together.

I liked the story about doing donuts with a Cadillac! 😄

I really enjoyed this. Your guest and you worked well together. I wish you the both the best.

Great interview. The "American Dream" is not dead but the cost of admission is definitely higher and it takes much longer than before. Too many believe (and are told to believe) that it's easy and expect it to be handed to them.

From this grandma in Texas You’re 2 very nice young gentleman. Keep up the good work!

Enjoyed every minute, thanks for sharing.

Good to see you’re still doing well!

I agreed with this young Pakistan/American guy. I came across a story about one Indian guy who came to America with a tourist VISA and ended up owning $20 million dollar company in Silicon Valley, California. He was a college drop-out. He was a World record holder of cubic and got a connect to play against rich people or CEO of the companies. He knows how to do coding without going to college and he competes in hacking and his team wins all the time. Then, one day his team spent two days to create a software and one company bought his software. Then, he starts to become rich from then. I came to America with penny less and I process two homes now. In my 40 years life in America, I bought four homes so far. Most American like black people don't study hard to improve themself. They have a lot of opportunity to become a better citizen. They get a lot of help with government and can get access to free education and opportunity to get to a good college.

I found it very interesting. I, too like learning about the Culture of other Countries. The Beauty in All Countries. We are all the same-all family in a lot of ways. Thanks for the opportunity.

Similar situation in UK. Possibly motivation in new arrivals is greater than longstanding population. Complacency maybe.

Thank you, Slava. It's a great video, as always. America is the land of opportunity for some.

Hi Sarawa, I am very happy to you for coming and stayed overnight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am living in Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia (Borneo island). I love following your videos (RU-vid) since many years ago till now. I like your all presentations and attitude and of course the videos contents. Keep it up friend.

hi. interesting video as usual thank you for sharing. Hope more videos will be there about Malesia, all the best slava

Because of you people around the world will be able to realize that life in different countries is slightly different than what you hear and see on the news and tv. Thank you 🙏

I am a Muslim but what I like is the openness of young Muslims like him, I hope to have a friendship environment like him

Same here, I started listening to pop music from in and around Russia like БЬЯНКА, КЛАВА КОКА, Потап и Настя, Артур Пирожков, Vremya i Steklo, Yuliya Parshuta, Gruppirovka Leningrad, and NILETTO......but I also like metal bands like Ария and КИПЕЛОВ. I remain a гопник in Texas. Great discussion video, thanks for sharing.

“The American dream is just a dream, it happens only when you are asleep” so true from George Carlin

Great guest, what a positive guy. He is spot on about the U.S.A.

What a great combination you two make! Great collaboration. I'm so glad you found each other.

Welcome Slava! Hope you get to taste some of our favourite local food during the short stay. A preview for a longer visit we hope 👍🇲🇾 Interesting conversation in Malaysia between a Russian and a Pakistani raised in Canada about American Dream. And the background showing Malaysians breaking fast in front of a local historic building. So many nations coming together in this instance.

I’ve been a constant fan!! I have spoken to you a few times, frankly I’ve learned more from your vlogs slava!! I see the stress on your face that I didn’t see prior to February 2022 I hope you keep on keeping on as the American slang/cliche goes hope your folks sister and aunt are all doing as well as they can be

Yes. I myself have seen so many peaple originally from India, China and Mexico move to America with little money and within 10 to 20 years have thier own successful companies. 🇺🇲 Still the land of opportunity.

I wish you would make a video tour of Florida someday but do it during the winter months,the summers are very hot and humid.

It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.

Respect, discipline, and love starts in the family.

Thank you Slava for this great video. I enjoyed this interview very much. You are truly a nice person and I love your videos which are always amazing. ❤💙💚

Love the truth about parents and the lack of respect. The lack of drive and respect will be the downfall of America. Very good interview. Too many entitlements and lazy people that think they are entitled.

Just found your videos this morning and have watched several. Very interesting. Your English is sooo good. This was an amazing discussion between two amazing people. If you’re ever in Canada, both of you are welcome in my home to spend some time.

that southern accent......lol..love it!

wow great sight and great video

Loved the video! He certainly has a more optimistic view of the US than I do these days lol

Great chat!

Good job guys. Interesting perspectives and true. As a mature Filipino American my experienced with respect is that it's earned not expected. Consequently, that's what separate Americans (individuals such as you) from the rest of the world -- TRUE GRITS -- which are the traits you both exhibit. Slava hope to see you in Thailand -- lots of Russians in Pattaya.

Both great guys... Always a pleasure to listen to Slava, from the Great Smoky Mountains 60 miles outside of Yekaterinburg😉

Great episode! Hey Slava, have you been to Croatia, Bosnia or Albania yet?

Such a beautiful storys'' so much excited to listing both of your common interest about america... love your you tube channel

Awesome video!

Really interesting and a beautiful backdrop with the lights. Thank you.

Belated welcome to my city. Glad to to see both of you chilling outside and having an interesting discussion :)

American Dream is never dead. I am a living proof. I came with little, my first job paid $17/h back in 2015 but I worked hard. Fast forward to 2023 I own $mil home and a rental apartment + a Mercedes SUV and thinking of buying an EV. Of course I still have mortgage but had I stayed in my country I would probably still slog for little.

Good to see and here from you my friend it has been a while since we last heard from you. Pray all your family and you are doing well back home in Russia.

Fantastic interview. Thank you for the quality work that you do..😀😀😀😀

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” It a famous quote from Mark Twain that was his pen name Samuel Clemens was his real name a great American writer. My favorite from Mark Twain was when he was in the Holy Land staying in Capernaum by the Sea of Galilee. Twain asked a man in a rowboat how much he would charge to take them out on the water. The man saw Twain’s white suit, white shoes, and white hat and supposed he was a rich Texan. So the boatman said the cost would be twenty-five dollars (which, in Twain’s day, was a substantial amount of money). Twain walked away saying, “Now I know why Jesus walked.”

I really like your all working bro

interesting film and as usual, a great addition to the show.

Very nice. Thank you!

If he spent $80,000 for his civil engineering degree, he must have gone to a very prestigious private university. I believe my undergraduate degree in accounting was only around $15,000 at a large state school. In the US, you can go as far as your ambition takes you. The thing I've noticed in my young career is that the only ceiling is how much work you want to put in. If you have the skills, put in the time to perfect your craft, and treat people pleasantly, you can go as high as you want to go. We have our problems, like everywhere else, but what's great is we always manage to address and fix those problems as time passes.

Salva I thought you from the states,all these yrs ohh Mann!! Big surprise..any who you great story teller and my big fav. Blogger 🎉

Great to see and listen to you Slava. First of all I wish you a nice and safe journey. Well, th young generation to day has been raised and teached different to my generation. For myself there were never doubt of paying respect to my parents. Loosing it starts with talking to them with their first name and not using the wording of mum or dad. Anyway, we have been teached with values of life such as respect all kind of life, dont lie, dont betray, dont deveive and being honest and much more others. So you will be trusted by others. Btw, I envey you gusy. Would like to run around in shorts and t-shirts as well but still its damned cold. Wish you both a nice journey and lots of nice and intersting encounters. CU

Hello Slave, would you do documentary here in Philippines? Looking forward,,, i love your Geographic vedios that can learned for so many ,,,, Thank you.

Video is great, as always! Thanks a lot🙏 Man, i really enjoy hearing your pronunciation (+_-) i wonder how you sounds for natives, as a russian guy when i hear you, i am thinking "Maaan how is it possible!? Teach me master" . I am going to disturb you down here in comments therefore i apologies in advance) -->Please make a video about you journey in mastering English)

Interesting discussion.

By the way I am a male pensioner, I have plenty of time to follow youtube to see outside world. Your videos are among them.

Yes, if you work hard _and_ play their game, sure, you'll be materially successful. But that is not really the dream -- for most natives.

As a successful (financially and non financially ways) first generation immigrant in the USA I agree with most of what you both stated. I have been in America now for about 4 decades married to an American who i have 3 amazing children with that were born in this country. I can tell you one thing that is for certain in America. We as Americans have had it to good for too long and people are now making things up to complain about . A good portion of the individual Liberals in America have their hearts in the right place, in the sense they want to help everyone. However they are lucky that they can be naive to the horrors of being dependent on a govt to fix the problems for them or control their life in what you can and can't do. Unfortunately the liberals naiveness will be the downfall of America as we go further towards their push for censorship , acceptance of victimization, bigger gov't, radical wokeism and the destruction of the family unit. I lived here so long that I have sometimes taken it for granted how lucky and awesome I am for being able to come to this country. I'm not a republican either and believe both party and the MSM work for the same hidden entity in the background that are purposely trying to destroy the American standard of living in order to push us be dependent on a big govt for more control over us. As a minority foreign born American I fear BOTH party ,MSM, and BIG gov't controlled by special interest far more than anything else.

Slava, come to America again and become a citizen! We need people like you.

It's less than half truth about 60 percent of Business fail in the first 5 years. Some City's in the States are in reality are shit holes. 3rd world with crimes. Some neighborhoods are nice. Big drug problems where illegals are busted all the time. Inflation is at a all time high. Some people in California had not paid their rent for 3 years landlord will be losing their homes. Homeless is a huge problem in Democrats control are. A person can say alot problems Some good.

Yes Guys! "travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.." was written by American author Mark Twain

Excellent!

Much Love...Blessings🤍🕊

Welcome to Malaysia

I just hope many older Russians would see and understand this video.

There are so many things I love about your videos. In this one, I’m thinking about how your videos confirm we all share a common humanity. Whether you are introducing us to your Aunt Galya, or nomads in remote Kazakhstan, or your old co-workers in Tennessee, or random strangers in Uzbekistan, we can see how much we all have in common. Despite cultural differences, we are more alike than different. Sorry for expressing such clichés. There are too many folks on the internet trying to spread hatred against entire nationalities, ethnic groups, religions, etc. Your videos are true service to humanity. Keep it up, Slava! 🇺🇸

America is a very great country in many regards, but I think that it is important to note that no country is perfect. Some issues in our country include that healthcare is unaffordable for many, because we unfortunately do not have a government program for it; that housing is extremally unaffordable in many places due to certain regulations; public transportation is not built out well and is often not safe or convenient; and we do have quite a bit of economic inequality -- many of our cities have 'ghettos', which are extremely impoverished communities which are very difficult to break out of for a variety of economic and social reasons. However, I believe that as a country, we will solve these problems, and I do think that we are a very resilient and creative nation as a whole, and that we have more oppurtunity than most places in the world.

your fan from Cambodia!

Great video, Slava. Thank you. Are you still living in Russia? If not, why? How's Lena? It could be a great video. Please consider it.

Enjoy your time in Cambodia Slava. Phnom Penh area I like the old town area. I would suggest going to Kampot a nice laid back town. If you would like to go to Vietnam Saigon is an easy cheap ride from Phnom Penh.

Anyone can succeed in US just have to work. College education is not expensive if one goes to public school. No need to go into debt to attend private universities just for snobbery.

Obviously American dream involves work, lottery can be won anywhere, true commitment is what many lack and it holds them back, many people's entrepreneurial mind achieves them wonders

Please come to Pakistan in North Pakistan please

Hi Russia+ ( gee sorry, i dont know your name), Welcome to my country Malaysia 🇲🇾 I hope You have a good and safe transit here, Enjoy the variety of food here. I saw yr Uzbek series, got to know you from Natasha and Dari videos. Please send them my regards, and please tell them to come to Malaysia, I will host them if they give me sufficient notice. Am well versed with this region too Indonesia, Thailand are like my 2nd home mainly, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Slava, you have your finger on what’s going wrong with America!

Whats strange is one from Russia wear decently whereas who is muslim born was not wear decently What a shame for him

American dream still exist even getting even thin tread...if work EXTREMELY HARD, Safe money, Go To School that lead to demanding jobs,because rent so expensive mortgage way over budget people here just can't afford specially parent with kid(s) it's just hard... When I was in Italy I had same situation the police checked on my passport in heavy rain they thought I was immigrant from Asia somewhere after they saw my passport funny thing they said Welcome to Italy, damn ! I thought they were con-men .

10:50 You hit the nail on the head. My priority list: God, Family then Job.

Can someone explain to me what is an American Dream about? Because from the video and the comments below it seems to that it is all about having a nice house and a large SUV, and no matter whether you're educated or not, healthy or not, whether you're well travelled or not, what your job is, whether you like it or not, etc.

Bro Elon musk doesn’t seem egoistic..he has fair take on most spectrums. He wants balance of power that has been taken the majority of it by one aisle . You can get most things on his platform that you don’t get allowed to have a discussion on on others .

Hope the dinner was good 😄 Great takes! Enjoyed this episode alot. Cant wait for the rest!

Welcome to Malaysia..why so short stay?

I like you have video

❤

America... What a country 😁

What kind of camera do you use?

Where are you going to wind up, Slava? I’ve always said you are a world citizen.

you don't have to be SMART.. You must have the WANT.. The DREAM IS STILL ALIVE AND DOING WELL.! How bad do you want to make your dreams come true!

Can you give numbers handphone

The American dream is Liberty To live your life without constraints. The United States Constitution is the legal guarantee of liberty.

Jai shree Ram ji

Sorry, I can only speak for Canada, but for Canadian-born citizens children, ANY dream of home ownership IS absolutely dead...... When it costs $200,000+ dollars to buy 50 year old mobile , and pay pad rental of $800+ pad rental, plus property tax, plus utilities, etc...... Something is very, VERY wrong! This all started several years ago, and is NOT accidental.... 👃✌️🥰🇨🇦

Дружище, скажи, но почему ты всё таки не остался жить в США? Безумно интересно. Всегда с таким восторгом говоришь об этой стране, но ты не остался там! Прошу прощения, что по-русски.

Come to India please 🇮🇳🇮🇳

He is from Pakistan

Individual stories don't tell the story of the whole.

Please come pakistan
