Love you Russia! You have done very well for the past few decades...A big thank you, Mark, for this series...Can't wait to visit Russia!...Love from India!
@@Kar90great You could have made your point without bringing my mother into consideration. Knowing good English does not necessarily mean that you have to abuse someone's parents. It speaks volumes about your family background.
Exceptional video...Mark as usual...always unbelievable! You make me wanna go to Russia (Orthodox brothers) SOOOO MUCH! Such a beautiful Land with great traditions!
Добро пожаловать в мой нежно любимый Санкт-Петербург! на Сапсане еще не катался, предпочитаю лежачие места ночного поезда Санкт-Петербург - Москва (ну так я ездил еще в СССР, но они ходят и сейчас - "Красная Стрела") уезжаешь в 00:00 и приезжаешь в 08:00 - 8 часов сна и целый день для различных дел.
@@Shane-mj9fz Yup, that's what it is. Normal ones have a container that doesn't press the sponge down, so I assume the one the train gave is only good for a couple uses. It was great to see Mark's reaction though lol.
The rubbish mainstream media will never show how clean and beautiful the metro and train station in Russia are. Sapsan train is fantastic. Clean, reliable, cheap and on time.
I feel like I am taking my trip again a few weeks back, was at Komsomolskaya before taking Sapsan to St Petersburg lol...beautiful metro stations. You are right, riding the metro all day is a tourist attraction by itself. I took Economy Plus on Sapsan which is a ham and cheese roll and tea, coffee and little goodies paper bag, very cool and very comfortable train. As a relatively new viewer, so curious if you are one of these bloody lucky people who can just eat and eat and not put on weight..very envious!
Wow, beautiful train stations and trains 😍 can't find a single piece of garbage. I wish my country would be like this 👆but it is a dream which not come true 😔
Taking a long journey through Russia on a train is so much fun. When I was adopted at the age of seven we took several trains because my adoptive parents took me on a tour of my home country, places that I had never seen before. And we slept in the train (aka we had a cabin). And then we would obviously get hotel rooms too.
@Hulk Smash Main cities in tourist's cites now look better, than in 80's-90's, but smaller ones are not something most of us are proud of. Even in Saint-Peterburgh, where I live, our street is a very dirty place, where trash are not transported regulary and in a right time. Also, we still don't have sorting trash habit and infrastructure here, while in Irkutsk goverment already applied sorting into three categories. Russia in trash-managment can be still better than today's India or most countries in Afrika , but much worse, than Northern Europe, USA, Canada and Japan. Our metros ...Older stations - yes,thanks to Soviet Union, which made sure that infrastructure is working well for 99.99% of common people and glorified techological and cultural progress very much.. But modern stations looks not that gorgeous. As for prettiness, every corner of the world has charms of it's own. Earth is amazing planet compared to most known parts of the Universe.
Eyen Nordic Thanks for sharing that, and you are correct. Here in America certain inter cities look absolutely horrible, like in Detroit Michigan/Chicago Illinois/Reno Nevada and many more. Homeless people in numerous inter city states as well.
I talked about Russia mostly. Some cities in Usa can be dirty to social issues, but mostly USA is very clean compared to Russia. We also have troubles with litter disposal - hills and hills of litter poisoning natural enviroment or burned with an open flame, resulting in toxic gases, spreading around. In Russia, scientists know cold technologies that can prevent litter from burning into toxic gases fractions, but they can't do much, because trash mafia companies do not want to change their ways.
Whenever I’m going thru a rough patch in life I watch your vlogs ...and low and behold I forget everything. Thanks for the mental therapy Mark ❤️❤️ Whenever I cook something I always wonder how you will react 😂😂
Russian metros ( especially ones in Petersburg and Moscow) are architectural wonders. I took an express train back in 2003. I think it took me around 8 hours. Nothing like travelling alone in Russia and looking at the beautiful winter landscape. Petersburg was home away from home. I studied there. It is the most beautiful city in the world! You can take a person away from Petersburg but you can never take the Petersburg( emotions) away from a person! Моя вторая родина! Питер мой любимый. Скучаю по тебе безумно. Русские люди культурные и добрые. Скоро приеду! До встречи Питер ❤️
Mark, great to see your videos from Russia! It looks like you've spent such a nice time in Moscow and Suzdal :-) Dmitry is an awesome tour guide! Great food tour! I wish I could show you around as I live here, in Saint-Petersburg!
Hi Mark, you’re remarkable and so are you’re videos to different parts of the world. That train trip looked amazing good. Thanks for sharing with all us
@@franctokyo5981 you know the saying 'if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all'. Guess you were not taught when you were growing up, assuming you are a grown up
Keep up the videos coming 👍🏽l love the way Mark and his family always together on magnificent trips together! Blessings from a Grandma in Chicago ❤️❤️❤️👍🏾
Wow, that high speed rail must be new development. I was in Moscow about 6 years ago and we had to take an overnighter to get to St. Petersburg. Well done!
Amenity kit on a train?! Omg! And yeah, that little grey “puck” with the sponge in it was shoe polishing kit. I’ve seen such kits many times as advertisement souvenirs in various expos (mostly travel expos) I’m guessing it can come in handy for someone wearing some more fancy leather shoes and wanting to or needing to polish their shoes up a bit before an important meeting or something. Polishing shoes was definitely more common in the past, these days I guess not that many do it any longer, unless wearing some fancy leather shoes which you’d mostly see on businessmen in suits 🤔 Either way, very thoughtful with amenity kit on just a train! I haven’t even seen that in first class on trains I’ve been on, not even in first class on a Chinese sleeper train... Have had meal served at the seat though in first class, for an additional fee (but was worth it when going to my hometown for a weekend visit and going straight from work and facing at least about 4 hours or so of travel)
Exactly, it's shoe shiner, it's transparent so useful for any colour shoes, and yes it's quite thoughtful, any comes quite handy when it's snow or rain out side.
Unfortunately mostly of our people do not... I heard about NZ and I was wery surprised how you keep your traditions. Almost in every step you do. So much ceremonies, singing, dancing, tattooing... You are grateful to your history and it is amazing!
MARK you are a legend and inspiration!!! Taken all of Mark's advice about life, travel, food, jumped out of our comfort zone and focused on how to enjoy life. We are capturing and sharing those silly moments on our yt channel we just created. Do check it out and show some love please. Believe and Strive.
beautiful train! I have to admit, I did not expect that in Russia. Even without the food, the leather seats, the clean interior and the fact that it's so fast and smooth makes me wanna travel with it
This is the fastest train in Russia - Sapsan train ($50). It takes about 4 hours to get from Moscow to St. Petersburg. But we also have regular trains, including the overnight 7-9 hour trip trains for about just $15.
Amazing culture, people and places including food! Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Спасибо❤
Love you Russia! You have done very well for the past few decades...A big thank you, Mark, for this series...Can't wait to visit Russia!...Love from India!

TRAIN, FOOD AND CLEANLINESS IS ALSO AWESOME
I was in Moscow and Saint Petersburg last year. You are visiting the places I have been to refreshing my memory of this beautiful nation
From all Russians thank you so much.Come over again.Welcome.
Thank you for good words. Come over again.Welcome.
yeah i never expected both cities to be as modern and beautiful , especially Moscow, i think my memories are stuck in the Soviet era
Dmitry Rocks man!!!
Such a Gent :)
The people make Russia Great!!!
He's a great guy!

I was hoping Dimitri is coming with you, he was such an awesome host.
😂😂 mark that sponge in the train that you were poking and smelling it’s for your shoes 👟 Lol that was so funny 😂 , hope your having a great trip
Dress shoes cleaner?? I have to admit, I'm lost on this one as well.
@@Shane-mj9fz Yup, that's what it is. Normal ones have a container that doesn't press the sponge down, so I assume the one the train gave is only good for a couple uses. It was great to see Mark's reaction though lol.
Not many people are going to know what a shoe shine kit is in the future.
i'm just happy he didn't taste it

Thank you Biruk, love Ethiopia!!
Wow, beautiful train stations and trains 😍 can't find a single piece of garbage. I wish my country would be like this 👆but it is a dream which not come true 😔
Wow got a like from Mark 😍 Thanks
That's because Putin has a gulag in Siberia for litterers and train crews who run late. As a result the rail service becomes what it is :)
@Kas From European union
Ur wrong. There's much more than a single piece of garbage in many places, especially on the outskirts of Moscow.
The white sponge is for shoe shine
Great
Glad Mark didn't take a bite out of it.

Yeah I agree. Never any bad food at all. If you´ve seen one episode then you´ve seen them all. Kinda sad really.

BEAUTIFUL CITY❤❤
Some people said the food looked depressing, what expectations did they have from train food?
thats why we like mark cause he is not all that fussy
Looked a hell of a lot better than Amtrak sludge.
Do you have experience with Japanese railways? Seems like no)
@@maxacoustic do you have experience with german railways? Always too late and food you cant swallow.

These trains have been on the route for 10 years. Night trains run as well.

Хороший аппетит у парня несмотря, что худенький😁
А я завидую россиянам, какая вкуснота! Приехал бы Марк в мою любимую Германию, может раскопал бы какую- нибудь вкусную еду, а то мы не находим.
У этого парня в животе или глисты или "чужой".. молотит всё подряд
Compact sponge for shiny shoes.
A much better menu than any train here. !
The architecture was beautiful, the food I would pass on.

05:25 That's the "old school" shoe polisher, it's dunked in tar-like shoe polish and its mostly for "fancy" shoes.
That meal left me longing for school cafeteria food.

3 hours and 46 minutes. I took the dame journey in the 90's. I had a sleeper and the yril took almost 20 hours.
Shoe Shining Sponge Mark. I was like...nooo nooo dont put it in your mouth...lol
Thats half the price of a Plane ticket and honestly you got better service on the train and the food locked really good for that price!
So funny how Mark hates sweets😃
