🎄 🥳 🎉 Oh my goodness, as I watched Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV here in Montreal , it occurred to me that Dari and the other International students might be there in the crowd to experience it! Pleased to see you were actually there in the crowd! Such an impressive parade! Loved it and the singers and marching bands, and dancers too. 🎅🏻🌲⛄️
For what you got at the bagel shop, it was not overpriced. You would pay the same or more here in Houston. Your biggest expense was probably the salmon.
5th Avenue is also called The Avenue of the Americas. One night I went ripping down 5th Ave in My Chrysler 5th Avenueat 80 mph, no traffic, all green lights.
Im glad you made it over to Brooklyn. Brooklyn used to be a very wealthy area in the old days, and is again I guess, and has a lot of nice historical buildings. There is Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Prospect Park.
The old waterfront warehouse(s) in DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge Underpass) are gone after the redevelopment of the waterfront. It's quite a tony neighborhood near there now. Well-heeled people just love to have the main treated sewerage drainage of the City of New York (New York City to N.Y. old-timers is just the previously Dutch a.k.a. Knickerbocker and later taken-by-the-English settlement in lower Manhattan, around zipcode 10002 -- 10001 being used by the mail service headquarters in midtown; my initial zipcode in America was 10027) occupy their front view. 😂 😊
@@solconcordia4315 Too bad they're gone. I used to know a couple, one of the original gentrifiers of that neighborhood. Two artists with a kid. Huge warehouse loft that they fixed up. It's funny when I see people comment on the TV show Friends, and say no one would have an apartment that big in NY, well they don't know what went on in the old days. A lot of my friends had pretty huge apartments in the New York City area. Even in the Village. They were dumps that you had to fix up yourself. I guess the movie Ghost kind of shows that, in Soho.
Dari, I am so glad to hear that you are taking breaks from social media to clear your head and spend more time with your studies. As you mentioned here that is the most important thing right now. Maybe when you have a winter break between semesters you can explore more of your surroundings with greater detail. Even though I would love to see more videos from you, I also understand that you need to have time to live your life, be with friends, and plan and make your goals come true... not just hunkered down in front of a laptop editing. Take care of yourself first and foremost and then everything else will come in due time. I am grateful that some of your dreams are becoming a reality. That is enough for me as a follower of your video adventures.
Your videos are always so cheerful they're a treat to watch. The shots of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from within the crowd were so much more personal than the ones they televise. You can definitely appreciate the size and scope of the balloons and parade. I'm glad you're taking some time to rest and reenergize yourself, it can be hard to cope when you're burning the candle from both ends! Can't wait for your take on New Year's Eve from NYC!! Cheers!
@4:00, you mention that it is very cold outside. FYI, all of the Russian Federation is north of the latitude you are at in NYC. Сибиряки бы посмеялись! Re: bagels with shmear: You were in Williamsburg. Walk up to Frankels, just past McCarren Park in Greenpoint, for the best bagel with cream cheese and lox.
Nice to own the streets early in the morning for a little bit. Thank you for the lovely sights. So glad you had a great Thanksgiving Day. New York is huge!
I would like seeing tours of artsy places. Sights within the Whitney Museum of Art and Greenwiche Village would be interesting. Hope filming in museums would be ok.
I don't get a chance to see all your posts, but I do enjoy your obvious excitement at living in New York. I already think of you as a Russian New Yorker, like my stepdaughter who lives there and my wife, who lived in Brooklyn when we started dating. Enjoy life in NYC, at this perfect youthful age, and keep sharing your experiences.
Yes, enjoyed the video ! I was born in northern New Jersey, and you have already seen more of New York locations than I ever saw. You know how to see the sights 🙂
Dear Dari, How about an annual calendar with monthly shots from your awesome videos. I currently buy one from another traveller for about $40. Good luck, Love, Ron
What a beautiful sunny day for the parade! Thoroughly enjoyed your view and reactions to it. I would like to help you with ideas for your project but I am completely clueless exactly what kind of ideas you want. Can you please explain in more detail what you want and perhaps give some examples or choices to pick from?
I agree with the comments below...I have lived in the US my whole life but you are showing me things I have never seen in NYC! I would sell imported scarves and hats. You looked very cute in that scarf you were wearing Russian style. Women do look very good in scarves for some reason. You could model you own products! E.g. French women wear French scarves in such a stylish way...so maybe you can start a new trend with Russian scarves!! Very practical too for the windy cold weather in the Northeast.
wow so cool that you get to hang out with other students, enjoying NYC and the experiences you are having. I just wonder how different your lives would be right now if you were back home in Russia.
Wonderful video Dari your English are improving every day Thanksgiving Day started back to 1621 when the Pilgrims Fathers sailed to America from Plymouth Devon England .The Pilgrims Fathers they are Puritans and wear black clothes but very plain l believe the native Americans the Wampanoag people gave a Turkey to eat and it’s started from there or l might be wrong. I look forward to your next video when you have time
I am so enjoying listeting your English unlike native speakers. I am from Russia and I understand every word you said. it is like honey for my ears. Do you have some difficulties speaking with locals ?
when you said you haven't thought about being afraid of mass shootings are you saying that you haven't thought about it like about being scared because I know in the past you have mentioned about worrying about mass shootings in America
I am thankful this year for Dari's videos, as they are always fun and interesting. And I am thankful she received her scholarship to travel and study in the USA!
A psychology reminder relating to your anxiety - people underestimate the emotional impact of events and the 5 most stressful are; death of a loved one - divorce - moving - illness/injury - job loss. So, you've not only moved, you've completed altered the direction of your life and my guess is that will have a huge emotional impact that you naturally assume is "not a big deal" when in reality it is huge - you need to give yourself time and the emotional space to adapt.
I had radiator heating in a 100+ year old house I grew up in and I associated the hissing and whistling with comfort since it meant my freezing cold room was going to warm up.
How one reacts to noises may indeed be associated with one's upbringing. My Mom said that I was an easy baby to take care of because after taking a bath and tucked in, I would sleep for three hours uninterruptedly despite loud noises (Hong Kong was the noisiest city in the world due to all of the construction activities: driving piles, air drills digging up sidewalk/pavement to bury electrical cables, etc.) Sleep-study doctor questioned me about whether I had narcolepsy because I dropped like a rock into deep sleep and spent such an exceptional fraction of my sleeping time in deep sleep. No, I didn't have narcolepsy ! 😂

@@DariStep My Grandpa might have inherited (through marriage perhaps) shares in the Jardine-Matheson Group which was probably involved in the opium trade. The infamy of the opium trade might have contributed to the splitting up of my paternal-side clan into two due to the very arrogant actions of the founder of our [new] clan. The elders of the old clan refused to allow him to put a memorial plaque commemorating his deceased father in the clan's ancestral hall. (Another possibility is that his Dad didn't assume family responsibility to provide for his Mom and kid(s)) He started his own clan and built his own taller ancestral hall dwarfing the old ancestral hall. The elders and fengshui master begged him not to do that because of the curse upon all of his descendants. He did it anyway so the consequences did follow. 😰
Interesting ,very interesting, Dasha. By the way, this leather jacket gives you quite an interesting look. A combination of a bit of punk and a bit of Eastern European gangster from the 1990s.😁 But in a sense that makes you smile, especially when combined with your beauty and behavior. By the way, I think from a few of your vlogs since you came to the US, it's clear that your eyes sparkle at times. In the last year I saw your vlogs, I didn't see it in your eyes. Perhaps in some sense the USA or perhaps New York and the university serve you. As for what you want to create on your channel. I think you should suggest some ideas that come to your mind and see what the response will be. The most important thing is that you do what will make you happy and will not harm your studies. Good luck. Greetings
What type of things are you interested in creating? Most business people will tell you to create something you are passionate about and that solves a problem. For instance you are a young stylish single woman who has taken great leaps to travel and study abroad. Use your strengths to determine how you can take your personal style and sense of adventure to inspire or help others to find those thing for themselves.
Thank you for sharing. I always thought you were doing so much. I am glad you made priorities and held your goals. I admire you so much more now. Does every straight man want to marry you. Lol!!
Products should be as relevant as possible to the *reason* that people watch your channel. In this case, they watch it because they enjoy learning about your perspective as a Russian who travels and, especially now, your experiences as a Russian immigrant in America. Try designing stuff that's funny/cute with a Russian-American theme, e.g. "I came all the way from Russia to New York City and all I got was X" where X is something unpleasant but funny that you experienced and have mentioned on your channel, like the noisy heater in your apartment or maybe you found a dead rat or whatever (it's NYC, if you haven't had some sort of incident involving a rat, you will). Also, Americans *love* hearing about immigrants who came here and love America, so anything that essentially says "I'm an immigrant and I love America" is going to do well.
Nice to see you Dari, glad you liked our Thanksgiving, yummy bagels. Maybe I will run into you in NY as we go to rockafellow center. It would be great plus and minus of US obxervations as a foreign student
Yeah I was thinking about it, but in the current political situation around the world, I’d like to make smth not connected to tours but still close to tourism
On January 1st the day after new years is a special time in Manhattan. The streets will be completely empty in the morning. Great time to ride around in a car and take videos. It will be like a scene out of movie the city with no people on the streets. This was the only time that house of Morgan’s women were allowed in Manhattan. The city parties so hard on new years the next morning is great for moving around in a car very fast.
Hallo Dari! I'm happy when you're happy. The different colours of the leaves were beautiful. Thanks for the positive vibes! I always feel better after seeing you. People living in New York and Manhattan were complaining a lot! They said something of the area you were last, I think it was Brookes. Thousands of illegal immigrants refused to move. Glad they were not there. Sending you lots of love! (Sorry I can't come up with a Project.)❤❤❤ I hear storm Ivan is heading for Moscow. It snowed a lot!
Hey my comment was deleted, but I wish someone would have told me more about this when I was younger. I wish I would have looked harder online, instead of just hanging out going to bars with friends, hoping to just run into somebody.
2:31 They have all these other days to protest and one of the worst times is an event where they are doing something unrelated to the event, do they think that people will not be angry with them? Out of every other day they can protest which isn't going to do anything anyways they pick that day, that is ridiculous.
wow a hotel lobby to hang out at I've never heard of that I would never think that a hotel lobby would let people hang out there who are not guests wow
Hi Dari👋😁 Great video. Glad you had a great time. Quite an experience isn't it.😁 I hope you go see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. 🎄🎄 Chinese 👀Lately people are choosing alternative meals for Thanksgiving dinner. You should try some of the Thanksgiving dishes when you get the chance. I'm glad you are feeling better and you took some time to step back and take a breather and destress. Seems like exciting things are in store in the months ahead. Good luck on your exams 🤞😌🤞🍀🍀 Cheers 👋😁
Ethnic groups in New York of Chinese, Italians, and Jews were connected to each other through mutual needs satisfied by the others. Chinese foods were a link.
U asked about what people think would be a good project idea for u too sell /work on, Im not sure if this is what u meant, But i personally have always found your v/log's to be Almost like professional travel videos. So what i am saying is maybe your channel does not have to be so much about u as a person, but advertising travel locations and u can get proper work doing that type of thing too. I think u just seem too too a good job showcasing the locations and events u visit and your ""happy bubbly personality"" is perfect for that kind of thing.. well thanks and good luck anyway..
Dari, your videos are so inspirational. You always try to experience something new, and I think this is a great way to live. Just remember to take time for yourself to take care of your mental health. Thanks for sharing.
Another fun video! For your entrepreneurial project I believe your brand needs a great Dari Step logo. So, produce up to 3 logo candidates and present them for comments. But also ask your professor about trademark laws. Good luck!😅 You are in America, so you have to think like a true capitalist now! 😮 American English / word usage note: About the Macy's parade: You referred to the musicians in the parade as an "orchestra". I liked that word! However, we normally call the musicians walking along in a parade a "marching band". An orchestra would normally be in a theater-like setting and include string instruments like a violin or cello. The marching bands in the Macy's parade are usually selected from high schools or colleges. It is an honor for a band to be selected to be in the Macy's parade. My purpose is to be helpful to you because you are also a student of life and have a positive spirit and we all need more of that! Do you like these kind of comments? If you liked this comment, please hit the like button below 😂
I really enjoyed this video. What I find intriguing is you show us many parts of New York City that we don't normally see on TV and in movies. (This is true of many of your travel videos, which is why they are so enjoyable.) As for future projects, I must say that when it comes to clothes, I really like your style! It seems to me that you could earn money in modeling. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING INTERESTING, have breakfast at Tiffany's some morning at 727 5th Ave. Stand in front of the window like Audrey Hepburn did holding a bagel and hot drink (in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's--a classic!). And to even make it more interesting, try to dress like her character, Holly Golightly. Talk about style! Holly even goes inside and asks if there is anything for sale under $10, and she gets a funny look. In your case, make it $20, and you'll get a funny look too. Believe me, your viewers will get a big kick out of this. (You can actually rent Holly's outfit.) However, do your schoolwork first!
You keep making great friends that add interesting flavor to your videos, like the scenes with your new friend from the Philippines. your videos keep coming up with cool places to kick back, both inside and outside. They really open my eyes to the "real New York. I just wish they were a little bit longer. the parade was great, something I've watched for Years only on TV. glad you enjoyed it as well. I just wish you could have sat down to a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner. Put it on your bucket list --- do it next time for sure. I don't think you would have lasted too long after without having to take your nap to recover. Your videos are wonderful keep them coming, and do it often! Don't be stingy with the videos, and your friends are your co-stars!
The weather at the Parade can really vary each year between warm and cold,next year it might be warm.New York City sometimes has the strangest weather as you might have noticed.
It's been fun to watch your journey and experiences. One minor criticism if I may.... your accent seems (to me anyway) to getting worse and is harder for me to understand. I have to use close captioning. Maybe it is just you are talking so fast or something. Anyway - keep on keeping on.
Lovely video seeing the marching bands and the balloons! I know you are not comfortable in crowds but I think you had a great time with your friends at the parade. I hope your stress does not get you down too much. For a small venture maybe you could design something specific to you and your travels for us to buy. For example, I was short of a 2024 calendar for my wall so I made a simple one from some of your photos on the community post! Hope you dont think its creepy! Love that chocolate too - great gift!
Love your NY Videos as well as all your videos. I also love parades. I like to watch the Rose Parade (on TV) every year because almost all the floats are made of flowers. It's in California on New Year's Day. Those bagels looked awesome. Poppy seed with nothing on them are my fave. I missed watching the Macy's parade this year. I completely forgot. It looks so cold there, and I do not like to be cold. My husband is from Alaska and he can't stand the cold either LOL. Good luck with figuring out a new project and new ideas. It can be so hard to be creative when you have a lot going on such as work and school.
Loved this Dari! I've never been to parade in person and this felt like I was really there! Better than TV! Your the best! Enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing your experience at the Macy's parade! ❣️❣️❣️☺️
Dari you are amazing! I love your spirit! So glad to see you enjoying yourself and doing fun things. Glad school is going well. We call it culture shock when you move from one area to another and have so much change. I was worried but i knew you would sort it out and come out stronger. I know New York is fun but tough. Enjoy holidays for you your family and friends. I know your tests will go well. 😘 Thank you for the fun videos!
Loved this video so much Dari! Watch it every year on TV but have never seen it live. Glad to see you feeling more upbeat. As for your channel I like it when you interview others. You do such a good job of that. Really looking forward to your next video but don't stress over putting one out cause your studies come first. Please take good care of yourself and thank you so much for the video.

It will be like a scene out of movie the city with no people on the streets. This was the only time that house of Morgan’s women were allowed in Manhattan. The city parties so hard on new years the next morning is great for moving around in a car very fast.
Can’t wait 😍
pls b safe my queen
Living it up...Glad for you.....
Have fun....

Hallo Dari! I'm happy when you're happy. The different colours of the leaves were beautiful. Thanks for the positive vibes! I always feel better after seeing you. People living in New York and Manhattan were complaining a lot! They said something of the area you were last, I think it was Brookes. Thousands of illegal immigrants refused to move. Glad they were not there. Sending you lots of love! (Sorry I can't come up with a Project.)❤❤❤ I hear storm Ivan is heading for Moscow. It snowed a lot!
Fun fact, 10% of Americans can trace their lineage back to the first Pilgrims who landed on Plymouth Rock.
Another great installment. I enjoyed seeing NYC in the Fall season. It’s pretty cool to see international folks experiencing American culture.
Hey my comment was deleted, but I wish someone would have told me more about this when I was younger. I wish I would have looked harder online, instead of just hanging out going to bars with friends, hoping to just run into somebody.
4:27 I hope you don't mind a compliment about your butt, you have a perfectly shaped butt
The deep deep reds in those maples in Long Island City were absolutely beautiful. I do miss home every now and again.
2:31 They have all these other days to protest and one of the worst times is an event where they are doing something unrelated to the event, do they think that people will not be angry with them? Out of every other day they can protest which isn't going to do anything anyways they pick that day, that is ridiculous.
Are you going to be safe going back to russia after spending time in america?
11:52 why are you holding your scarf do you think it's going to come off from how you put it?
Great video!
Thanks!
Добрый день. Расскажите, пожалуйста, как Вы справляетесь с работой и учебой в Университете? Тяжело? Сколько времени занимает работа?
wow a hotel lobby to hang out at I've never heard of that I would never think that a hotel lobby would let people hang out there who are not guests wow
Thanks
Thanks for your support!
You don’t like Chinese food?!?
Any project you come up.with I will love. I loved this video, too..Thank you for sharing.
More to come!
6:37 I cannot understand that word
Hi Dari👋😁
Great video. Glad you had a great time. Quite an experience isn't it.😁
I hope you go see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. 🎄🎄
Chinese 👀Lately people are choosing alternative meals for Thanksgiving dinner. You should try some of the Thanksgiving dishes when you get the chance.
I'm glad you are feeling better and you took some time to step back and take a breather and destress. Seems like exciting things are in store in the months ahead.
Good luck on your exams 🤞😌🤞🍀🍀
Cheers
👋😁
Thank you 😊
Ethnic groups in New York of Chinese, Italians, and Jews were connected to each other through mutual needs satisfied by the others. Chinese foods were a link.
U asked about what people think would be a good project idea for u too sell /work on, Im not sure if this is what u meant,
But i personally have always found your v/log's to be Almost like professional travel videos. So what i am saying is maybe your channel does not have to be so much about u as a person, but advertising travel locations and u can get proper work doing that type of thing too. I think u just seem too too a good job showcasing the locations and events u visit and your ""happy bubbly personality"" is perfect for that kind of thing.. well thanks and good luck anyway..
Thanks for sharing!
Dari, your videos are so inspirational. You always try to experience something new, and I think this is a great way to live. Just remember to take time for yourself to take care of your mental health. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the nice words!
Another fun video!
For your entrepreneurial project I believe your brand needs a great Dari Step logo. So, produce up to 3 logo candidates and present them for comments. But also ask your professor about trademark laws. Good luck!😅 You are in America, so you have to think like a true capitalist now! 😮
American English / word usage note:
About the Macy's parade: You referred to the musicians in the parade as an "orchestra". I liked that word! However, we normally call the musicians walking along in a parade a "marching band". An orchestra would normally be in a theater-like setting and include string instruments like a violin or cello.
The marching bands in the Macy's parade are usually selected from high schools or colleges. It is an honor for a band to be selected to be in the Macy's parade.
My purpose is to be helpful to you because you are also a student of life and have a positive spirit and we all need more of that!

7:07 you felt shame what do you mean? are you talking about self-conscious?
I guess shame because you have your phone recording
I really enjoyed this video. What I find intriguing is you show us many parts of New York City that we don't normally see on TV and in movies. (This is true of many of your travel videos, which is why they are so enjoyable.) As for future projects, I must say that when it comes to clothes, I really like your style! It seems to me that you could earn money in modeling. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING INTERESTING, have breakfast at Tiffany's some morning at 727 5th Ave. Stand in front of the window like Audrey Hepburn did holding a bagel and hot drink (in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's--a classic!). And to even make it more interesting, try to dress like her character, Holly Golightly. Talk about style! Holly even goes inside and asks if there is anything for sale under $10, and she gets a funny look. In your case, make it $20, and you'll get a funny look too. Believe me, your viewers will get a big kick out of this. (You can actually rent Holly's outfit.) However, do your schoolwork first!
Ahahah thanks for the idea!
omg the parade is amazing
Thank you so much!!
😍Doughboy🥰 He is absolutely my favorite. He he!
12:55 how much did you say
Very interesting
Good to see you. I hope that your studies are going well. Please talk to Natasha about coming to study in the US.
Hugs and kisses from Minnesota! 😘
The most hilarious story!
At 5:15 the 3 guys from warm climates did not feel as cold in NYC as the girl from Moscow!
😂 so funny!
Don’t tell me 😂😂
Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving, дякую
Terrific outing, thanks you
Thanks and have happy holidays.
Happy holidays!
You keep making great friends that add interesting flavor to your videos, like the scenes with your new friend from the Philippines. your videos keep coming up with cool places to kick back, both inside and outside. They really open my eyes to the "real New York. I just wish they were a little bit longer. the parade was great, something I've watched for Years only on TV. glad you enjoyed it as well. I just wish you could have sat down to a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner. Put it on your bucket list --- do it next time for sure. I don't think you would have lasted too long after without having to take your nap to recover. Your videos are wonderful keep them coming, and do it often! Don't be stingy with the videos, and your friends are your co-stars!
Ahaha thank you!
I'm glad that you decided to go to the parade I hope you enjoyed it sending my love.🌹
The bagels looked amazing, but at that price I would expect to not have to asssemble it myself...
Dari is the best human.
I really enjoyed. Good luck for your exams. 🍀
Thank you!!!
Good Luck on your Final! 🙂
Thank you!! 😁
The weather at the Parade can really vary each year between warm and cold,next year it might be warm.New York City sometimes has the strangest weather as you might have noticed.
Oh yeah I definitely noticed that ahaha
4:25 You're a wonderful Russian girl!
It's been fun to watch your journey and experiences. One minor criticism if I may.... your accent seems (to me anyway) to getting worse and is harder for me to understand. I have to use close captioning. Maybe it is just you are talking so fast or something. Anyway - keep on keeping on.
Lovely video seeing the marching bands and the balloons! I know you are not comfortable in crowds but I think you had a great time with your friends at the parade. I hope your stress does not get you down too much. For a small venture maybe you could design something specific to you and your travels for us to buy. For example, I was short of a 2024 calendar for my wall so I made a simple one from some of your photos on the community post! Hope you dont think its creepy! Love that chocolate too - great gift!
What a fantastic person you are dari, I love your enthusiasm for everything you do ....I always love watching your vlogs ...lee In 🇬🇧
Thank you so much 😊
Love your NY Videos as well as all your videos. I also love parades. I like to watch the Rose Parade (on TV) every year because almost all the floats are made of flowers. It's in California on New Year's Day. Those bagels looked awesome. Poppy seed with nothing on them are my fave. I missed watching the Macy's parade this year. I completely forgot. It looks so cold there, and I do not like to be cold. My husband is from Alaska and he can't stand the cold either LOL. Good luck with figuring out a new project and new ideas. It can be so hard to be creative when you have a lot going on such as work and school.
Thanks a lot ☀️
Loved this Dari! I've never been to parade in person and this felt like I was really there! Better than TV! Your the best! Enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing your experience at the Macy's parade! ❣️❣️❣️☺️
Thank you so much!!
@@DariStep❤❤❤☺️
Good Day Dari,
What are your interests? What are some things, or ideas that you find interesting & exciting. We can start with that.
Thanks,
Kirk
I already have some ideas, I just wanted to listen what my community thinks to see what is matching
Dari you are amazing! I love your spirit! So glad to see you enjoying yourself and doing fun things. Glad school is going well. We call it culture shock when you move from one area to another and have so much change. I was worried but i knew you would sort it out and come out stronger. I know New York is fun but tough. Enjoy holidays for you your family and friends. I know your tests will go well. 😘 Thank you for the fun videos!
Thank you so much!!
@@DariStep 😘
Thanks for sharing. Curious if there's a similar holiday you grew up with in Russia. If so, how is it similar/different?
Nope :(
Wow! Dari. I am very glad that you are enjoying here in USA. I am thankful to you for the videos and your efforts to unite us all with you.
Thank you so much!
Loved this video so much Dari! Watch it every year on TV but have never seen it live. Glad to see you feeling more upbeat. As for your channel I like it when you interview others. You do such a good job of that. Really looking forward to your next video but don't stress over putting one out cause your studies come first. Please take good care of yourself and thank you so much for the video.
Thanks for your support!
My pleasure!
