    As an Australian, I'm just pleased that people from other countries think we have our own culture, rather than being a copy/paste of the UK - or America!

      I don’t know anyone who considers Australian culture a copy of UK or US. Everyone I know views Australia as exotic with unique wild animals and an interesting accent.

      I do know many Americans can't tell the difference between and Australian and UK accent though.

      @@Larry-jh8gf Obviously we have different experiences. This is life.
      It's something I have come across repeatedly while living in Asia for 4 years, and Europe for the last 10 years. It surprises me every time. it's not that they think Australia isn't its own country, just that there is basically no difference between the cultures.
      I also never said it was logical, but then, some of our own preconceived ideas about other countries may also be illogical too...

    The issue with alcohol isn't whether people drink; but why they drink? This is what differentiates countries like Russia from other cultures such as Australia, England, Germanny, Canada, USA, etc.

    That was a culture shock. What this mate said was spot on. But we did drink UDLs in Aussie growing up
    I think Australia is vastly different the. 20’years ago as we become more stressed and the cost of living has skyrocketed

    The type of traditional family life described is something that existed in Canada back in the 50's. My mother is 85 and she has always worked. She had secretarial training and worked before she married and after she married. This wasn't necessarily true for all women of her generation; however, it is definitely true today! In fact, no woman should be so dependent on a man that she can just stay at home. Marriage or a common-law relationship don't necessarily last forever; in fact, in todays world, less than half do and in Russia, a man's lifespan isn't great!! Consequently, whether you are a man or a woman, you need to look out for yourself and not having a job is possibly not good for your financial health. Depending entirely on your marriage for your financial health is a bad idea!

      Someone's gotta be there for the babies, get the packages in, make the meals, do the wash and be on hand when the others need help. All our lives were better when someone was home to do this. I don't care who, but we need somebody.

      @@evegreenification Really!! Rich people do this by hiring staff to do these jobs; thus rich women get to do whatever they want while poor women don't deserve the same. This is such a selfish opinion, certainly it can be good for the one receiving all these services; but what about the woman whose only worth would seem to be to provide these services. Welcome back to the dark ages where woman didn't need to know how to read, just how to take care of their home, husband and children.

    Australians/New Zealand pretty much the same. They speak their mind if they don't agree with anything. They love to party hard and enjoy life's offers. Men and woman are pretty much equal in decision making especially in relationships. It's a culture shock for Russians visiting Australia. You really need to visit to really understand our culture down under.

Let's just say that, the US is a melting pot of all of thee above! Dari, well done again. Interesting that so many other R vloggers say that it is just a US myth that we think all Russians do is sit around and drink Vodka! I think you just clarified that for us! 😁😁. Russian's speaking the Truth? I will believe that up until the topic changes to "Politics" (Of course, that is here and everywhere else too)! 😃😃 I was curious, when you decide on your Country destination, If not Russia, will mom and step-dad be eager to come stay/move in with you? Time will only tell!

    Making sure the dinner bill gets paid 50/50 has become a mandatory "shit test" that a Man MUST do to filter out malevolence. If a Man is paying the entire dinner bill on the first and second date then he's stupid, he's objectively an idiot based upon the current culture of dating. ALL smart Men will make sure those first 2 dates are split 50/50 for many reasons.
    Firstly it shows a smart Man that the Woman actually does like him because she's spending her own money to spend time with him. Secondly and most important is that it's insurance against being used as a "Free food date". Many evil Women will string a Man along that she's not attracted to, wasting his time, getting his hopes up, and draining his wallet, all so that she can get a free meal out of him. To avoid being used in this way smart Men will ensure that the first 2 dates are split 50/50 to filter out those Women.
    From the third date onwards, good Men will pay the entire dinner bill most often (Not every time!) to ensure that the Woman doesn't take the generosity for granted, a Man should require the bill to be split every 3-4 dates after that point.

    It always has amazed me on how Russians can initially seem so cold, but how warm and generous they really are once you get past that outer shell. They literally will give you anything they have.
    Unfortunately I haven't visited Russia when I had the chance. Hopefully it's not as long as you 2 said at the end before we get an opportunity to go.
