Thank you so much for watching!
Davao airport is considered an international airport. But currently, the only international flight from here is to Singapore.
An hour and a half later, we landed at the Cebu airport.
In the evening we headed to the airport to catch our flight.
It was raining and we were a little worried that our flight would be delayed. We were relieved when we finally headed to the plane.
We finally arrived in Negros.
The road to Dauin resembles a runway with lots of little lights.
After an interesting journey, we finally arrive at this small resort.
This cute bamboo bungalow will be our home for the next two days.
Morning has come and we can have a look at the place where we are staying.
This resort is called Aivymaes Divers Resort and is located in Dauin, Negros Oriental.
There are several bamboo huts with nipa roofs.
There are two hammocks on the terrace. You can relax and read a book.
Showers and toilets are shared and separate from the rooms. Only air-conditioned rooms have their own toilet and bath.
Our cabin is located next to the beach. There are sunbeds and tables. The beach is good. The sand is not white, but the view is still beautiful.
Dauin is a town 15 kilometers south of Dumaguete in the province of Negros Oriental.
From here you have a spectacular view of Mount Talinis. It is the second highest mountain on Negros Island and the highest peak in the mountain range known as the "Horns of Negros".
Scuba diving is one of Dauin's major tourism destinations. There are several marine reserves and dive sites along the coast.
After breakfast, we were joined by Dmitry, his wife Naivi and their son Yuri. Their youtube channel "Dmitry west" is already known to many.
Boria started watching Dmitry's videos when he was still in Russia.
Many people in our comments asked us to meet them. We had been going for a long time and now it finally happened.
We got in the car and headed to one of the most famous coffee shops in Downin, Baslay Highland Brew Coffee.
We walked up to a large bamboo building. It is both an observation deck and a place to sit and drink coffee.
Baslay Highland Brew Coffee is not only a coffee shop, but also a plantation. The beans are grown, roasted and brewed for you right there. The whole project is an initiative of the Baslay Farmers Association. Visitors to this cafe enjoy natural coffee and support the local farming community at the same time.
You can hear the coffee mill working. The smell of fresh coffee is very pleasant.
The next day Dima and Boria drove to the store to buy the tools and materials they would need today.
We got to their home and got to work.
They installed some water faucets and connected the hose for irrigation.
Yuri is so happy with his new toy.
By the road that leads to their plot they installed a light. During the day it is charged from the solar panel, and at night it automatically turns on thanks to the motion sensor, which is installed in it.
In the house, they have attached stands for soap dishes and other supplies above the washbasin.
After all the chores we got together and enjoyed a delicious lunch outdoors.
It is so nice that we spent these days with Dima and his family and got to know them better. Before they were just people on the screen, but now they are in front of us.
We are grateful to UA-cam for giving us the opportunity to meet good people.

Hallo Darlene and Borya watching from germany happy that you have new vedio hows mama Katya.. i hope she arrived safely. I miss you Darlene and Borya
I think P700 to Dauin is too much.
Wow! The scenery is spellbinding!
Nice handmade bags..very personalized gifts..love it too.
I CAN TELL THAT BORIS IS A VERY NICE GUY LIKE HIS MOM & DARLENE !! MAY GOD BLESS & PROTECT YOU ALL FROM HARM'S WAY !!! ❤❤❤
Boris has many skills. He's a carver, electrician and plumber . That's awesome 👌 👏 👍
Darlene and Boris should consider selling merchandise on their channel for supplemental income. They have talents in crocheting and wood carving. If Boris can legally work with his visa, he could even open a home repair/building business like the Armstrong Family.
True he's really talented.
You both have many talents to share with people. God bless you .Thanks!
Thank you for this generosity, they deserve every help they get, may the Lord bless you abundantly!
Thank you for your generosity. You are always so kind to us ❤️. May more blessings come to you.
💕blessings to you George & your Family🌟❕
Hellow George, you are so generous, may your graces multiply abundantly in return by the Almighty God.
You're so kind George. Thank you so much for helping them! 💖👍🌷
Boris is such a handyman. He can build his own house.
Wow I love the crochet bags and the teddy bear, so lovely... Darlene could make a good business with her creations.👍❤️🙏
Thank you so much ❤️🥰.
Am so glad to see happy russians in my country despite of trials and challenges theyr still facing back in their country. All people deserve peace and humanity spread the Love guys.
Russians are more respected to Filipinas than american expats retiree just looking for young wife to take care of them

Darlene is so good with children, when you find a place to settle down and all is ok, have a kid too it would be a blessing

Been worried about you Guys,been quite awhile since your last vlog.Hope everybody is well esp.mama Katya,we missed her.
I second the motion..
Thank you so much. We were in Negros for a week so we couldn't edit this vlog. Mom is doing great, she sends us messages often.
Thank you for spoiling me with this longer length video. The drone shots are spectacular! 😍 It's wonderful that you and Boris experienced a mini vacation to finally meet beautiful people like yourselves. Very thoughtful of you Darlene to gift them with unique handmade pasalubong and for Boris to help them with projects in their home. I am excited for your future when Boris gets to build your own home and document each step. It will certainly be so sturdy and well made. I hope it will be a combination of Filipino and Russian style. Looking forward to your next vlog! ❤
I think riding on the motorcycle is too dangerous for the three of u. Be safe wherever u go❤️🇺🇸
The bags are beautiful Darlene! And the teddy bear and beanie are very nice and cute. Keep it up Darlene. This might turn into a product you could sell to your fans in your channel.
Boris is so skilled he should build a house and then start his own construction company.
See armstrong family for reference, now they own construction company.
can’t wait to see when you build your own house as well. It’s really nice to see your fellow Russian 🇷🇺 Boris.
I miss your videos Boris and Darlene. I’m glad you’re enjoying visiting new friends and having fun.100% admirer of your videos.❤
I am happy you meet the beautiful couple and their cute little boy and the Russian father and son and his wife. Good luck.

Followers din ako ng Dimitri West. Pati channel ni Nivi. In the Future sana magkaroon din kayo Boris at Darlene ng Sarili ninyong House🙏❤
Thank you so much sa good wishes po❤️.
Hi Darlene Love those bags and Teddy bear. You are very creative!! 👍

Wow both of you match made in heaven both talented, Darlene... you are so lucky with your Husband he's a very handyman around when it comes in building. Hope you two soon start building your on home... Stay happy, good health and GOD bless you two always🙏
Thank you very much for your kind words and wishes 🥰❤️
Darlene you're so creative. You do crochete very well. Someday you can do more and sell it. Enjoy your stay in Negros. Godbless.
What a skillful Crochet-maker! 🧶🧸 You really owe that from Boris' Mom. 🌹💝 She taught you so many things in life not only crocheting but also baking. I could now truly say that when you will have your own house, you two will truly be a good tandem. Coz Boriz is a skillful Craftsman while Darlene is a good Homemaker. Very good in Crocheting as well as good in cooking. 👍🥗 Apart from that she will also be a good Mom someday. Truly they are both lucky for each other. And they have good friends, too from Russia to Dumaguete. 🥰👍💖
Thank you very much but it was actually Boris who taught me how to crochet. Mom taught me many things too☺️. I am grateful.
Maybe you & your husband should move to Dumaguete. It is a peaceful town. There are lots of foreigners from different countries who lives in this island. The island was voted as one of the best retirement places in Asia by Forbes Magazine, a U.S. Magazine. The only draw back is the place have intermitent electrical brown outs.
You are both creative and talented. You can make money out of it. I am from Valencia Negros Oriental. It's beautiful and people are nice and friendly. I hope you will like it. God bless you and safe travel.
I’m so glad your families finally met. What a wonderful video. I hope you made lifelong friends. Someday you will have a beautiful home too. Thank you for sharing your videos. They always bring a smile to my face. 😊❤ Many blessings to both of your families.
Darlene is so talented crocheting. Great video.
Thank you very much 🥰
That was a wonderful glimpse into your future, Boris and Darlene. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, another very nice video, Darlene & Boris. For sure, one of these days you will have your own house. Both of you are talented so in no time you will have a place that you can call it your own👍🏼 Keep up with blogging and we’re here to support your channel by NOT SKIPPING ADS. Stay safe always🙏
I LOVE PHILIPPINES
💠This country is as beautiful as the people❕
More vlogs please. I'm glad that the 3 bloggers I like (Myji, Nivy and Darlene are friends now. More power to all of you. Regards to Mama Katya
You should have taken a bus from Cebu city south terminal to travel to Oslob or Santander coz bus transport is cheaper.. You can stay there for 2 to 3 days to enjoy the white beach resorts, dropped by in Oslob to swim with the butandings or whale sharks, visit the water falls in Oslob and enjoy canyoneering in nearby town of Alegria. Afterwards, you take a ferry via Tampi, Santander to Dumaguete city
Yes we can do that Darlene and Boris ib Gods perfect time

It is really very nice that you, darlene and boria, and nivy, dmitri and yurchik met and visited each other in dmitri and nivy's house. Boria taught dmitry a lot. Darlene is a very good crocheter. You are both good families and people. I hope you stay friends for a long time! Good to see that you are almost of the same age. Nice blog!!! Also dmitry can get a refund of his money from lazada. He just have to contact lazada for the seller's mistake.

Boris/Darlene and Dima/Nivy are now my favorite Russian/Filipina couples. Darlene and Nivy..you both speak very good English, and you're both very pretty, as well.
Happy to see you guys bonding with them. Keep safe on all your travels, God bless you all❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice seing you going defferent places in the Philippines up to Negros. If you are in Davao City you can see me at Rizal Park every Thursday and Friday sellung organic vegetables and food. I am your fan for 2 months and seen most of your vlogs from Russia to the Philippines. Hope if you have visiting Davao City we can see and talk a lot of life in Davao Region. Good for more vlogs. How I wish to learn more Russian words. Hope to see you soon.
Wow! I'm so happy that you met them .
Very artistic Darlene 👌 👍 👏
Thank you🥰
Slowly but surely, you are building your own network of friends and acquaintances. As you go along, one day you will realize how far you have gone, maybe a few years from now. Hopefully by that time, all of you, including Boris' mother, will have fully settled in to the provincial lifestyle that you chose. Be well always, good health, and good fortune to you all.
Very, very glad to see you in YB again, a bit worried for the silence, although only a while
❤❤❤ miss mom, love you both!
Great vlog as always. Looking forward to your meet up with Myji and Vanya, my other favourite couple. Best❤
I find Negros is a very safe and peaceful place to lived this is best to recommend Boris and Darlene to relocate where most of their friends and foreigners stayed.. Hows your mom Katya doing hope to here her soon.. enjoy your stay and more videos to come!
