Hey Sveta. About the "bad side" of California. The truth is that it's mostly a lie. Every coutnry has it's good and bad. No country is perfect, and neither is America. The same is true of California, Texas, or any other state. But when it comes specifically to California, there is a religious cult in the USA called Evangelical Christians that have taken over the Republican party. They have total power in the US southern states, and a lot of others, A lot of rich people also belong to this cult and they own Fox, Xwitter, CNN, and a bunch of other powerful media. They are basically the American Taliban. They want to take all freedoms away from people, especially women, and replace the constitution with the bible. Make America all Christian, their cult version of Christianity, and force out (deport) anyone they don't like, and other nonsense like that. They are very powerful, call themselves MAGA (make America great again) and Trump is their current leader. And they hate California, New York, Seattle, Chicago, because in these states and cities they have no power. That's it. It's all about Power. They want total power. That's why they support Putin, and think the Russian government is fantastic, because they want total power here like he has there, not because they actually like him. They hate democracy, so they hate all the states that are still democratic. It's a little more complicated that just this, but it is the core of the problem. A good place to get a clear understanding of American Politics, if you are interested, is a UA-cam channel called TYT. They are very pro democracy, and criticize all political parties on their flaws. All people are biased, it's natural, but these people at TYT are very open to criticism, and when they are wrong they admit it and correct it. It's an independent YT channel so not the most professional, low budged, etc, but they are honest. So it's a good source of honest information, even for people who may not agree with their politics. Cheers, and welcome to America from another immigrant to California, from a neighboring country to yours.
If you want to swim in the Pacific, you have to get a wetsuit like the surfers wear. Consider also getting a bodyboard if you like being in the waves, easier to handle than a surfboard.
3:40 You can turn it into the nearest police station. If it’s still charged you might be able to see what carrier the owner uses, and drop it off at the appropriate cellular phone store. Or you could deliver it to the address on the ID. If lost your phone and/or ID, what would you want the finder to do with it? You do the right thing by trying to reunite it with the owner.
@@mitchrodee On the other hand, my brother found a blackberry phone that belonged to a real estate agent from out of town that had an entire real estate cleint list and a bunch of other importamt information. The onwer said he would pay a reward if my brother mailed it to him which my brother did and never got the reward. My brother said he should have just disposed of the phone.
Some years ago, Starbucks, the American coffee company, opened a few stores in Vienna, the pastry capital of central Europe. Before the first year was over, they were obliged to change their products, notably their pastries. The American pastries which Starbucks was trying to sell in Vienna were TOO SUGARY for the Viennese. Starbucks had to reduce the sugar content. The entire American food supply is laced with corn syrup too. If you gain weight in the U.S., that is normal, as the food supply is charged with excessive sugars and fats.
And, you are forced to eat it!? You can’t find fresh fruits and vegetables? Free range eggs and chicken? Quality lean beef? Your answers are school fed nonsense. It is about choice and good decisions. Not content.
@@poco1174 it's quite toxic to SURROUND a society with endlessly fake bad foods, among the good real food. the children literally grow up with it and are told to consume it to fit in 24 HOURS PER DAY. Besides the reality that much of the 'real food' is also under attack , as in the manipulation of the food system is not always easy to navigate.
Suggestion: When finding a Phone on the beach, please turn it over to Beach Patrol, or the nearest Police Officer, in the event it belonged to an abducted person.
OR, if someone by some reason not a good detective, don't have time to figure out etc.: 03:38 Found/lost items like ID & phone or wallet you always must bring to the nearest police station.

Glad you are having fun. Thanks for continuing to share your life with us. I am glad that you have finally adjusted and are now enjoying your life. Southern CA is much warmer, as I am sure that you know. Though the water is still cold.
I'm glad that you're happy. No matter where you are, make the most of it. You have so many possibilities to explore, whether it's a new place, or new endeavor. Good luck to you in the future.
Hello Svletna, WELCOME to the US! I hope you enjoy your new life here and that you and your fiance' have a wonderful life together. You seem to be already enjoying yourself so far. With your beauty and video editing skills you will do just fine here as you continue making great videos, regardless how you adjust your channel or even if you start a new one. You are great at what you do. I came across your channel sometime after the conflict in Ukraine started as I was searching for Russian vloggers to learn more about their lives after all that mess started. Somewhere in there, your channel popped up and and I started watching it when I had time. I really enjoyed your style and learned a lot about your beautiful country. We are all mostly just ordinary people wanting to just go about our day to day lives enjoying life and loving our families and at times traveling and seeing the beauty of the world around us. I enjoyed watching your videos in Russia and seeing the beauty it had to offer. I hope you fall in love with the positive side of what the US has to offer. It seems like you are in good hands, you will be just fine. OH, I to would have taken the phone with me turned it in to the authorities so that the owner could be properly located.
You could have turned the smartphone you found on the beach over to the lifeguard station instead of leaving it on the beach, or even to a nearby store.
@@thedappercook since when is turning in an item that is lost over to the proper authorities or to a lost and found department a crime. How can you get in trouble for being a good Samaritan.
@@kenardturner7173 never said it was a crime or trouble. Just some things are better left as is if you've ever handed anything in you know that politics arise in terms of phone calls that can happen sometimes. Just not worth the hassle from my experience
@@kenardturner7173 My thoughts exactly! I once found a credit union card lying on a sidewalk outside a store when I was walking to work one day and I turned it into one of the cashiers at the store because I thought someone is probably going crazy with worry wondering where they left this card. I didn't want to just leave it on the sidewalk.
And when i say California is a nice place to visit BUT i would NEVER live there I'm talking about the political situation and the sky high taxes. I now it is a very beautiful state its to bed i could never afford to live there. Thanks 4 the content
I you head north for a couple of hours, you’ll find a nice beach/fishing town called Morro Bay. They have great scenery and a lot of good restaurants. Just something to keep in mind. I’m glad that you’re enjoying your time here. 😊
Be careful of american food. The FDA has approved almost 10,000 chemicals that can be in your food (Europe only 300!). We are a sugar and carb country. I have gone back to Organic and grass fed beef and chicken.
I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for last 40 years. One thing you will probably experience in California is going into a store and finding many items are behind locked areas. It is then inconvenient to purchase those items as you have to summon an employee to get the item for you. He then will carry it to a checkout stand where you can purchase it. Some stores have come up with one way doors to enter the stores. Then the only way to exit is through the check out stands. Much better system compared to the locked cases. Shoplifting is a big problem. Town I live in had a nice Target. It closed a year ago due to shoplifting. I am glad that you are starting to enjoy your life in the USA.
You could try to contact the person on the phone or take it tot the police department and they can locate the owner. They also can track their own phone so maybe they will find it.
Whenever I go to Russia, I'll lose 25lbs on a 90 day visa. But, when I return to Canada I gain it all back, along with higher blood pressure! 😄 Think about it... in the West, we jump in our cars and drive to Costco, Walmart, Krogers and malls to shop. In Russia, typically there are small groceries, pharmacies, covered markets that you can walk to from your flat, everywhere. And because the Russian food has less preservatives, you buy only what you need, because it goes bad quicker. So you shop for groceries more, often daily... so you walk more = more calories burnt. Simple. Plus I eat more soups and salads = much healthier.
3:23 Really? You left it on the beach! Holy crap lady. Take it to her school or at a minimum call the school. Not a neighborly lot in Ventura, are you?
Russian have no good morals (check their invasion of Ukraine) or values! She didn’t feel a bit tiny bit bad about and sounded so superior and snobby, like “I am Russian and above it all, including you all watching me, because this is who Russians are, a superior nation.” Get back to earth lady!
At 2:18. People say California is the worst state due to the crime and homelessness problems. Taxes are higher for residents, as is the cost of living in some cities.
Sveta, You've lived here before so you sort of knew what is ahead. Just remember to keep expanding your experiences. There is no end to the options to explore. Food is the same way. Prepare your own and buy fresh at farmer's markets. You'll see and taste the difference immediately, but you probably already know that.
I came in USA two years ago through green card lottery program. I’m originally from Serbia. I would say that the worst thing here is food and you have to be a bit picky about that. Also my suggestion would be, get your drivers license and get yourself a car. That’s a must have here to get around and to become more independent.
Your are as beautiful as ever Svetlana . As we age its normal to gain a little weight so dont worry be happy . Glad to see you back on the net I missed you .
I recommend going down to laguna beach! They have amazing private coves that are amazing for cliff jumping. My all time favorite beach is salt creek in Dana point. Go for the sunset and you can go grab a beer. I live in Utah now and I take my friends from utah there and they are in love!
03:38 Found/lost items like ID & phone or wallet you always must bring to the nearest police station. Unless, you are in a hotel, then you must give to the reception staff. I think in any countries.

I love San Diego - not SF - but I live in Illinois - a lot of bad decisions with taxes in California and Illinois but both have so much culture to offer. If you can afford it !
Imagine getting married to the love of your life and she tells you she is bored right after marrying you. That was not only disrespectful, but it had gold digger vibes.
There is nothing wrong with the Husqvarna motorcycle, apart from the fact that it was never designed to be used the way you are using it. I'm surprised that any bike shop even sourced pillion pegs for the bike. If you are going to do any amount of road touring, then get a touring bike. Believe me, you will notice the difference. They call it "horses for courses". You need to get the right horse for the course you are undertaking. There is nothing in the design of that bike, that caters for the weight of a pillion passenger. Nor are the tyres suitable for that load, or for continual use on a sealed road. Just some advice from a long term motorcycle rider. (nearly 50 years exp)
Glad you’re enjoying your time in California! If you haven’t already done so I suggest traveling up the coast to Big Sur/Carmel/Monterey area. Or across the state to Sequoia National Park. Beautiful spots.
@SVETLANAFROMRUSSIA lots of languages being taught at the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, California. I learned Russian and German there in 1990-1992 in the Army.
What a change after two months (and it is only going to get better). It seems the further north you go on the coastline, the colder the water is going to get. I'm surprised that you are not use to it as I 'assume" that in Russia, the waters would be much colder (You know plunge-baths, long winters). As far as the beaches, they get better going south along the coast. Oh no! She is hooked on Chocolate Chip Cookies (like everyone else). God forbid if she finds the Ice Cream isle in the store, lookout! Remember, moderation! Try to resist! New bike looks sweet and I'm glad it more comfortable. It's fun watching you explore new things. Can want to see more!
Hello from Kansas! Just a note to settle in better as Russian food from amazon and stores in NYC are available online for shipping! Comfort food helps adjustment to new country . Hope this helps just google and you will see!
@@mikeantonio3163 Take sim out.. clear all data on phone and sell it :) Im not american im just bad :) i lost my phone also once i none ruturn me so now i dont care anymore for lost stuff.
head down to Santa Monica by the Annenberg Beach House. Truly a beautiful beach and area. And of course, visit La Jolla, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and check out the surfing in Tourmaline.
I’m very glad to see that you’re so happy. California is a beautiful state. I’m currently in Tucson, Arizona. Arizona is also very beautiful but I do miss the ocean. I spent most of my life on Oahu and then on Kauai, Hawaii. All the bat!!!
I just viewed Svet's vlogs yesterday , I watched more than 6 vlogs one after the other , she was a breath of fresh air , I really enjoyed her honesty, down to earth , attitude My favourite was her helping her stepdad making moonshine , and Svet drinking the homemade Alcohol It was funny , 😂
@Svetlana How are you doing? It’s been a while since you have uploaded and update video. Pray you are very happy, healthy, and doing well. Come visit Northern New England sometime too. ❤
Svetlana, if you're looking for a really nice beach, check out Huntington Beach down in Orange County. I think you'll like it much better than any beach in the Ventura area.
@SVETLANA FROM RUSSIA *Did you go to to the Crumbl cookie store? You should make a video of you trying their cookies. They have a smaller size of cookie now as well as the normal large ones.* 🍪
Regarding California's beachfront in my opinion the southern you go, the better they get. Scenery wise they all look stunning but you'll never find me taking a dip in Santa Monica lol. San Diego by far has the better ones
If the phone is fully setup you can ask siri on that phone "hey siri who does this phone belong to"? You can look at the screen on it (charge the phone a bit if it needs it) and see if someone is texting to the lost phone a number to call if you find this phone. That's what a man did when I found his lost phone, I called him and told him I would drop it off at the nearest AT&T store. He went to the AT&T store and got it from them.
I'm learning Russian for 2 years I'm from Georgia native language English Russian is actually kinda easy to learn I'm leaving on dou lingo ❤Я люблю тебя и твои видео, Светлана.
Cigarette companies got into the food business in the 1980's after sales were declining. They hired the same people to figure out how to food just as addictive.
Food in the U.S. has all of those chemicals and additives in it, which makes us fat. The U.S. government allows these food companies to do this to us so we become addicted to the food
There is that video of Heinz Ketchup in Canada vs US . Only 5 ingredients in Canada but all kinds of extra stuff in the US . Lots of people in US cross the border to buy Ketchup by the case to take home .
No one is forcing anyone to eat anything in this country. You have plenty of healthy options. The US gets blamed for a lot things..some of which are deserved..this is not.
I'm a 6th generation Californian. I love my state even tho it's a little sad right now. I live in Sacramento, and we have a huge Russian and Ukranian population. You should look for adult classes to learn to a sport like golf or tennis. You could also learn to sew or do some sort of art. Join a hiking or walking club. There are also community gardens. You will make some friends.
Try East coast beaches especially southern beaches, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina, the waters are much warmer than California beaches.
i am glad you are liking the states so far. i know you were not the happiest about it in the last video, but it sounds like you are starting to really enjoy the states. i hope to see you traveling to other states. if you ever make it to the other side here in South Carolina, i hope you will do some kind of meet up, as i would love to be able to meet you in person! thank you for keeping the channel going!
Regardless of what naysayers say…You can always get fresh food at farmers’ markets..fresh cut meat…just tell the guys behind the counter..they will do it..and working out or walking is so easy…pretty much everywhere..in California ..Florida..and everywhere in-between…as far as bikes…a lot over here still love Harley Davidson..and then there are always the 3 wheel versions…for safety minded people…Imalways tell you to stay safe…
You haven't encountered the CA most residents encounter daily is because your fiance is well-off financially. It's great, however, that you're well-off. More power to you.
@@menemenetekelupharsin3007 If you are too much absorbed into politics then sooner or later your perspective on life will be sh**ty. Isolate yourself from politics and life will start looking nicer and nicer for you.
Hello from California! Welcome! Ventura is a very popular place and while the beach isn't the prettiest, there's great restaurants. I like Torrance Beach (south of LA) for the beach (it's warmer the more south you go). Hope you've discovered a few gems and if not I hope you don't mind me sharing a few: Ericson's Fish Company on Ventura Pier with the Madewell Craft beer upstairs---FANTASTIC views at sunset. You must try the Strawberry Shortcake & the pizza at Boccali's that you undoubtedly passed as you rode through Ojai (with the red umbrellas on the patio). Family owned for 30-40 years. They also have a small vineyard. If you haven't yet, you'll love driving the 101 coast highway up past Ventura. The beauty just begins in Ventura. Take the 154 from Santa Barbara up through the mountains & to the Ynez Valley. This is WINE COUNTRY. Los Olivos is perfect little town with tons of winery tasting rooms. It used to be a stagecoach stop back in the 1800's. San Luis Obispo is fun (Thurs. night farmer's market) (it's wine country w/ lost of country roads that pass by them), but north of that you have the beautiful shore cliffs at Montana de Oro--you will NOT regret going there. Bring a picnic. =) North of there is Cayucos--a cute beach town, and Cambria, another but far more quiet. Hearst Castle is in San Simeon & you can also see the seal lion refuge along the coast. Enjoy!
Hello Svetlana.. welcome to America!!! Having you here is definitely Russia's loss.. although I've watched your videos for a while now and I have enjoyed them I've never commented on any.. but I would like to welcome you to America and I have no doubt you will be very happy here... almost everything the world has to offer is literally at a person's fingertips in this beautiful country so enjoy yourself Svetlana... and lastly I have no doubt whatever path you take here in America I'm sure America will benefit from it.. so welcome and good luck😊
Looks great! So. Cal is indeed beautiful but it is very expensive now compared to what it used to be. Ha ha ha Svetlana you will gain weight eating those cookies and funnel cakes! Even though California grows so much produce it is hard to find good produce because it all gets sent all over the country and world. Take care sweetie and enjoy yourself!
Some fast dance routines can make a good workout. The 'Yes They Vote, They Vote For The Gun' routine from Chicago is popular this month on YT. It looks pretty aerobic.
I knoew that after some time, you would get used to change. Keep smiling and enjoy your new life there. And if you ever have a little down in the future, you already know that it will be temporary--good luck to you for the future & you're right about language, the best way to not lose it is to try to practice everyday. I'm from eastern Canada, french is my first language, but I had to learn english for practical reason, but I live in a totally bilingual city, so I get to practice both english & french on a daily basis, so I manage to keep both on a good level. Have a nice day.

Think about it... in the West, we jump in our cars and drive to Costco, Walmart, Krogers and malls to shop.
In Russia, typically there are small groceries, pharmacies, covered markets that you can walk to from your flat, everywhere.
And because the Russian food has less preservatives, you buy only what you need, because it goes bad quicker. So you shop for groceries more, often daily... so you walk more = more calories burnt. Simple. Plus I eat more soups and salads = much healthier.
3:23 Really? You left it on the beach! Holy crap lady. Take it to her school or at a minimum call the school. Not a neighborly lot in Ventura, are you?
Russian have no good morals (check their invasion of Ukraine) or values! She didn’t feel a bit tiny bit bad about and sounded so superior and snobby, like “I am Russian and above it all, including you all watching me, because this is who Russians are, a superior nation.”
Get back to earth lady!
so much love from Italy!! Italians love you!!😊
Like not love.,,,, capi!
Police or Mail is a good drop off for lost phones/ID. Plus it has their address on their ID, you could have dropped off.
Drop off at an AT&T or Verizon, etc. store. They will return it to their customer.
At 2:18. People say California is the worst state due to the crime and homelessness problems. Taxes are higher for residents, as is the cost of living in some cities.
Nah. Its because they are Anti-Western trolls trying to make this country look bad from their abject crap
Hole.
It’s expensive because of demand. People from all over the United States and world like to live there so it drives prices up. But it is beautiful.
@@BunnyWatson-k1w because antiwestern trolls try to make US most beautiful places seem bad because they are jealous.
@@elkigirl123 Right, and most of our taxes here in California are higher.
@@ZER0ZER0SE7EN yeah it’s expensive there because of all the demand, just like any major world tourist area
The phone should be turned in to the local constable / beach patrol / police. Just tell them you found it and where and then it becomes their problem.
Best motorcycle roads in the world. All a five minute drive from wherever you're at.
Loved riding the mountains between Saratoga and Santa Cruz.
The ocean temperature is always cold throughout the west coast even during summer, the water off the coast of south eastern US is usually warmer.
Hello from LA ❤️ so glad you're finding your place in California!
Sveta, You've lived here before so you sort of knew what is ahead. Just remember to keep expanding your experiences. There is no end to the options to explore. Food is the same way. Prepare your own and buy fresh at farmer's markets. You'll see and taste the difference immediately, but you probably already know that.
I came in USA two years ago through green card lottery program. I’m originally from Serbia. I would say that the worst thing here is food and you have to be a bit picky about that. Also my suggestion would be, get your drivers license and get yourself a car. That’s a must have here to get around and to become more independent.
Your are as beautiful as ever Svetlana . As we age its normal to gain a little weight so dont worry be happy . Glad to see you back on the net I missed you .
You’ll love it more when you get to see the rest of California.
My Family came from Kurgan Russia. She weighed 110 LBS, and all I can say woman! Get ready!
I recommend going down to laguna beach! They have amazing private coves that are amazing for cliff jumping. My all time favorite beach is salt creek in Dana point. Go for the sunset and you can go grab a beer. I live in Utah now and I take my friends from utah there and they are in love!
03:38 Found/lost items like ID & phone or wallet you always must bring to the nearest police station. Unless, you are in a hotel, then you must give to the reception staff. I think in any countries. And when you lost sg., then you should visit first the nearest police station to ask them about it. Unless, you are lost sg. in a hotel. Then your 1st visit should be to the reception if you can't remember where you forgot your thing or you can't find there anymore...
happy and healthy sounds great to me keep it up
I love San Diego - not SF - but I live in Illinois - a lot of bad decisions with taxes in California and Illinois but both have so much culture to offer. If you can afford it !
Imagine getting married to the love of your life and she tells you she is bored right after marrying you. That was not only disrespectful, but it had gold digger vibes.
Warmer here in Maine🎉!
Head for the ATLANTIC Coast❤! Good and warm, with WARM WATER!
There is nothing wrong with the Husqvarna motorcycle, apart from the fact that it was never designed to be used the way you are using it. I'm surprised that any bike shop even sourced pillion pegs for the bike. If you are going to do any amount of road touring, then get a touring bike. Believe me, you will notice the difference. They call it "horses for courses". You need to get the right horse for the course you are undertaking. There is nothing in the design of that bike, that caters for the weight of a pillion passenger. Nor are the tyres suitable for that load, or for continual use on a sealed road. Just some advice from a long term motorcycle rider. (nearly 50 years exp)
Maybe they are gonna hit up Glen Helen and race motocross!

Glad you’re enjoying your time in California! If you haven’t already done so I suggest traveling up the coast to Big Sur/Carmel/Monterey area. Or across the state to Sequoia National Park. Beautiful spots.
Thanks for the tips!😊
I’ve been to all those places many years ago and can’t wait to go back!
@SVETLANAFROMRUSSIA lots of languages being taught at the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, California. I learned Russian and German there in 1990-1992 in the Army.
What a change after two months (and it is only going to get better). It seems the further north you go on the coastline, the colder the water is going to get. I'm surprised that you are not use to it as I 'assume" that in Russia, the waters would be much colder (You know plunge-baths, long winters). As far as the beaches, they get better going south along the coast. Oh no! She is hooked on Chocolate Chip Cookies (like everyone else). God forbid if she finds the Ice Cream isle in the store, lookout! Remember, moderation! Try to resist! New bike looks sweet and I'm glad it more comfortable. It's fun watching you explore new things. Can want to see more!
Hello from Kansas! Just a note to settle in better as Russian food from amazon and stores in NYC are available online for shipping! Comfort food helps adjustment to new country . Hope this helps just google and you will see!
You could of taken the phone to the nearest police department or life guard station ... that's what a good American would do
And what would a bad American do?
@@mikeantonio3163 You act as if bad people don't exist anywhere else.
@Timbothruster-fh3cw the comment was a reference to "good American". What's the opposite?
@@mikeantonio3163 try to sell it. Think most would fit this category.
@@mikeantonio3163 Take sim out.. clear all data on phone and sell it :) Im not american im just bad :) i lost my phone also once i none ruturn me so now i dont care anymore for lost stuff.
head down to Santa Monica by the Annenberg Beach House. Truly a beautiful beach and area. And of course, visit La Jolla, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and check out the surfing in Tourmaline.
Thanks for sharing and cool bike 🏍️🤘🙏
I’m very glad to see that you’re so happy. California is a beautiful state. I’m currently in Tucson, Arizona. Arizona is also very beautiful but I do miss the ocean. I spent most of my life on Oahu and then on Kauai, Hawaii. All the bat!!!
Thank you Sveta for this great video. We are waiting impatiently for your next update !
Beautiful mountains
I just viewed Svet's vlogs yesterday , I watched more than 6 vlogs one after the other , she was a breath of fresh air , I really enjoyed her honesty, down to earth , attitude
My favourite was her helping her stepdad making moonshine , and Svet drinking the homemade Alcohol
It was funny , 😂
Yeah cool vlog!
@Svetlana How are you doing? It’s been a while since you have uploaded and update video. Pray you are very happy, healthy, and doing well. Come visit Northern New England sometime too. ❤
You always take lost items and try to find the owners or give it to a public official.
Svetlana, if you're looking for a really nice beach, check out Huntington Beach down in Orange County. I think you'll like it much better than any beach in the Ventura area.
We can feel your dream in your eyes and so many birds around you is not a coincidence. They also like you!
Hi Svetlana!
Were you shocked at the food prices in our grocery stores compared to Russia?
Big time!🫣
Glad that you are finally getting acclimated to the U.S. Americans speak badly about California because of its politics not the climate or beauty.
@SVETLANA FROM RUSSIA *Did you go to to the Crumbl cookie store? You should make a video of you trying their cookies. They have a smaller size of cookie now as well as the normal large ones.* 🍪
Regarding California's beachfront in my opinion the southern you go, the better they get. Scenery wise they all look stunning but you'll never find me taking a dip in Santa Monica lol. San Diego by far has the better ones
If the phone is fully setup you can ask siri on that phone "hey siri who does this phone belong to"? You can look at the screen on it (charge the phone a bit if it needs it) and see if someone is texting to the lost phone a number to call if you find this phone. That's what a man did when I found his lost phone, I called him and told him I would drop it off at the nearest AT&T store. He went to the AT&T store and got it from them.
I'm learning Russian for 2 years I'm from Georgia native language English Russian is actually kinda easy to learn I'm leaving on dou lingo ❤Я люблю тебя и твои видео, Светлана.
Cigarette companies got into the food business in the 1980's after sales were declining. They hired the same people to figure out how to food just as addictive.
Food in the U.S. has all of those chemicals and additives in it, which makes us fat. The U.S. government allows these food companies to do this to us so we become addicted to the food
many US made food product is banned in both Europe and in Asia.
There is that video of Heinz Ketchup in Canada vs US . Only 5 ingredients in Canada but all kinds of extra stuff in the US . Lots of people in US cross the border to buy Ketchup by the case to take home .
Not true. You are fat because you eat too much and sit around. Bless your heart though you got this world figured out.
😂
No one is forcing anyone to eat anything in this country. You have plenty of healthy options. The US gets blamed for a lot things..some of which are deserved..this is not.
I'm a 6th generation Californian. I love my state even tho it's a little sad right now. I live in Sacramento, and we have a huge Russian and Ukranian population. You should look for adult classes to learn to a sport like golf or tennis. You could also learn to sew or do some sort of art. Join a hiking or walking club. There are also community gardens. You will make some friends.
Try East coast beaches especially southern beaches, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina, the waters are much warmer than California beaches.
Mit Deutsch kann ich dir gerne weiterhelfen. Ich habe das jahrzehntelang unterrichtet, insbesondere Grammatik. LG aus St. Petersburg, Paul
Glad you are doing better Svetlana! 😘
Even if the guard stations just leave it on the walking ramp if it's closed
Looking forward for more new experiences! ❤ Share the food ones too! Hugs!
i am glad you are liking the states so far. i know you were not the happiest about it in the last video, but it sounds like you are starting to really enjoy the states. i hope to see you traveling to other states. if you ever make it to the other side here in South Carolina, i hope you will do some kind of meet up, as i would love to be able to meet you in person! thank you for keeping the channel going!
You need to work your way north on the coast .It's so much fun Oregon and Washington are great senary
As much as California pisses me off, there is a certain fabulous look to CA that can not be denied. Enjoy !
Regardless of what naysayers say…You can always get fresh food at farmers’ markets..fresh cut meat…just tell the guys behind the counter..they will do it..and working out or walking is so easy…pretty much everywhere..in California ..Florida..and everywhere in-between…as far as bikes…a lot over here still love Harley Davidson..and then there are always the 3 wheel versions…for safety minded people…Imalways tell you to stay safe…
Greetings from Berlin / Liebe Grüße 🤩🇩🇪
You haven't encountered the CA most residents encounter daily is because your fiance is well-off financially. It's great, however, that you're well-off. More power to you.
She doesn't know anything about CA shitty politics. That's why.
@@menemenetekelupharsin3007 If you are too much absorbed into politics then sooner or later your perspective on life will be sh**ty. Isolate yourself from politics and life will start looking nicer and nicer for you.
Hello from California! Welcome! Ventura is a very popular place and while the beach isn't the prettiest, there's great restaurants. I like Torrance Beach (south of LA) for the beach (it's warmer the more south you go). Hope you've discovered a few gems and if not I hope you don't mind me sharing a few:
Ericson's Fish Company on Ventura Pier with the Madewell Craft beer upstairs---FANTASTIC views at sunset.
You must try the Strawberry Shortcake & the pizza at Boccali's that you undoubtedly passed as you rode through Ojai (with the red umbrellas on the patio). Family owned for 30-40 years. They also have a small vineyard.
If you haven't yet, you'll love driving the 101 coast highway up past Ventura. The beauty just begins in Ventura.
Take the 154 from Santa Barbara up through the mountains & to the Ynez Valley. This is WINE COUNTRY. Los Olivos is perfect little town with tons of winery tasting rooms. It used to be a stagecoach stop back in the 1800's.
San Luis Obispo is fun (Thurs. night farmer's market) (it's wine country w/ lost of country roads that pass by them), but north of that you have the beautiful shore cliffs at Montana de Oro--you will NOT regret going there. Bring a picnic. =)
North of there is Cayucos--a cute beach town, and Cambria, another but far more quiet. Hearst Castle is in San Simeon & you can also see the seal lion refuge along the coast.
Enjoy!
Svetlana, you could travel on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train from Ventura to San Diego. That would make an interesting vlog.
Hi Svetlana. I hope to see a new vlog soon. Lots of love from South Africa
A Swedish motorcycle, Americans dont know "Huskvarna" is a Swedish brand. I lived in that small town when i was young.
Every one who has ridden for any length of time knows the famous Husquverna brand-around the world.
Don’t they make sewing machines?
Its actually owned and made by KTM so they are Austrian
@@robertholland7558 Seperate company, Huski are cloned KTM as are GasGas and part owners of MvAgusta[God]
@@robertholland7558 That was my first thought hahaha I kept hearing the dut dut dut dut dut dut of the sewing machine 🤣
Aww your real.😊
California is alot more expensive than much of the US but it's an awesome state but hopefully you may be able to explore other parts of the US also.
Not for women that married rich man.
Thanks beautiful Svetlana.
Wait until you see the Lake Tahoe area. You will love it. In winter it looks like somewhere in Russia I am sure
I'm happy for you Svetlana.
Hello Svetlana.. welcome to America!!! Having you here is definitely Russia's loss.. although I've watched your videos for a while now and I have enjoyed them I've never commented on any.. but I would like to welcome you to America and I have no doubt you will be very happy here... almost everything the world has to offer is literally at a person's fingertips in this beautiful country so enjoy yourself Svetlana... and lastly I have no doubt whatever path you take here in America I'm sure America will benefit from it.. so welcome and good luck😊
Go to Laguna Beach! It’s the most beautiful place!!!
Looks great! So. Cal is indeed beautiful but it is very expensive now compared to what it used to be. Ha ha ha Svetlana you will gain weight eating those cookies and funnel cakes! Even though California grows so much produce it is hard to find good produce because it all gets sent all over the country and world. Take care sweetie and enjoy yourself!
Some fast dance routines can make a good workout. The 'Yes They Vote, They Vote For The Gun' routine from Chicago is popular this month on YT. It looks pretty aerobic.
Lots of love Svetlana, I'm from a very sunny country living in a rainy, grey one 😔 so I'm really jealous of your Californian new life😍 keep posting!.
Let me guess - UK?
@@Matt-rw9py No
I live in Las Vegas Nevada but enjoy plenty of trips into the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. It beautiful. The wine country is also beautiful.
Good news Svetlana ❤
You should have kept the phone with you in case the owner call it.
To find healthy food in America you have to buy food directly from farmers.
You look very healthy and relaxed, Svetlana 👍
I knoew that after some time, you would get used to change. Keep smiling and enjoy your new life there. And if you ever have a little down in the future, you already know that it will be temporary--good luck to you for the future & you're right about language, the best way to not lose it is to try to practice everyday. I'm from eastern Canada, french is my first language, but I had to learn english for practical reason, but I live in a totally bilingual city, so I get to practice both english & french on a daily basis, so I manage to keep both on a good level. Have a nice day.
