WE'RE BACK! Weekly uploads until December then every 2 weeks! We've been filming a lot recently, it's been crazy being able to do this again. We've got lots of life updates coming along with some of the most epic adventures to date.
On this trip, Eric and Thomas head to a country in Eastern Europe that doesn't exist that calls itself Transnistria.. Considered dangerous to travel to by some familiar with the region.. They decided to travel there without any itinerary and see what they find.
This idea was submitted to us by Nick Bowlby in our Creative Internship program we hosted last year! We had 6 people from the Yes Fam pitch ideas for us every week for a few months and lots of great things came out of that, including this one. So shout-out to the Yes Fam and Nick for getting us out to this strange and unique “country”.

Keep up the amazing content!! We love you all

There is this one time you go to my country and I wasn't able to met you guys :( feels sad, but I guess we'll met for once in a lifetime.
This is the experience every traveler hopes to have when they visit a new country, but it can’t be planned or forced. Grandma moved us to tears 🥲

OMG Kara and Nate commented!!! I love you guys
OMG PLS COLLAB
I know! We didn't connect with people as much on the first day then the babushkas just adopted us! Hope you guys are well let's do a trip together soon!
My two favourite TH-cam accounts talking to each other😍
That old lady is the sweetest person in the world. So kind and loving.
@sehhi vooty You captured the essence of this whole video so perfectly in such a small amount of words
its a completely amazing vlog..i just subscribe on your channel because of you made me overwhelmed about the topics that you have made and a extraordinary experienced even just watching your videos with a lesson to learn..sweet hearted grandma she just made me cry,how i wish to meet her personally but i know its completely impossible for me,anyway i wished that she will be safe at all times..as well you guys_more interesting videos that i just watched from your channel just keep it up and more power!!!love&support-a filipina citizen here living in Spain..
All ladies are like this in these countries
THE SWEETEST. And if that was a grift, she can grift me ANYTIME. What a little angel. I love how much joy they brought each other. 🥰
Totally agree with you
The fact that she thought they were already left but also had prepared breakfast for each of them just in case, it's just the purest love
Oh my god i just realize 🥲🥲
My favorite part. Only the purest of heart and kindest of souls would do this and I love that humans still share this for one another♥
This was literally the pure Slavic eastern European experience and me as a polish loved every second of this experience
What persent of Slavs is there in Transnistia?
@@Anuclano About 1/3 are Russians, 1/3 Ukrainians and 1/3 Moldovans, so 2/3 Slavic
same, I love my people
As a Czechoslovakian American I approve
same from siberia, miss my buryat ancestors
I can't believe how this grandma has the strength to carry around such a huge heart every day
It's probably the huge heart that enables her.

@@ehab1300 what do you mean
oh please- we can assume the grandma got she/her pronouns, okay?
@@ehab1300 The lovely babushka that reminds me off my very own grandma most probably gives absolutely zero fucks about some pronouns
why is everything making me cry today
Because u care, thank you
I’ve cried so much the last 3 days
church babushka made me ugly cry
i keep crying bc of grandma, crying especially bc of the end
Same!!!!
The grandmothers were SO kind. I honestly felt so emotional during so much of this video. The world is amazing, people are amazing.
This made me cry, I’m from a village in Eastern Europe, I grew up with in my grandmothers house, left the country when I was 10, and now at 27 I’m still travelling around the world, seeing this made me think about my grandmother and how I should visit her asap, my next flight will be Lithuania so I can see her again
I hope you do! It may not feel real now, but all of our grandmothers eventually leave us. Go see your grandmother and tell her you love her while there's still time on this earth. Good luck out there! 😘
Did you visit her yet? We need to know
My family friends of 20+ years are Lithuanian :)
Came here for a weird sounding country. Stayed for the Grandma. Literally crying right now. My best wishes for her surgery. Subbed to this channel. Thank you for such a touching story. :)
+1 ... literally plus one from top to bottom!
This is literally me..😭😭😭
I cried like 6 times during this video. Please ignore me I cry over everything.
Yea I'm also crying 😢 thank that guys amazing video they make
I can't believe I'm crying because of an old lady in a country that I didn't know existed just a year ago. She's so unbelievably nice.
Her child are out with roumanian passport and Roumania its a stupid country cause they give passportts for this people thr chance to live a better life in european union
its not a country

9:30 I'm a grown up man and that lady Yelena literally made me cry with her generosity. She met complete strangers, foreigners, closed her shop to make them tea and cookies just because they remind her of her sons. WOW! Something you can only see in post comunist countries in my humble opinion.
Travel more, generous people are everywhere. Yes “that” generous.
Also they aren’t a communist country anymore … for quite some time
@@maurice2014he didn't say they were he said post communist, post means past.
@maurice2014 and no that same generosity cannot be found in the same big towns tourist go to its off the beaten path for the most part, yes it does happen in hig areas but you are less likely to have this experience unless you do the lesser known experience.
Thank you for posting this!!! I just returned from Tiraspol a day ago, after 33 years. We left in 1990. I couldn't believe what I saw there; as if time stood still. You guys truly captured it. I met those same babushkas, and was touched by their kindness. I saw our old apartment building, walked through my school, and also kept asking whether these were still functioning places. I've never seen anything like it. Your video brought tears to my eyes again.
That Grandma was so sweet
th-cam.com/video/JrTAmRJ6jY8/w-d-xo.html
she reminds me of my Lithuanian grandma 😁😁
This is kind of how all slavic grandmas treat everyone, its special cause you could be a complete stranger and they give you tea and food

I’m in tears seeing how generous and heartwarming that grandma was. She has a pure heart and she treated them like they were her own sons.
I'm in tears every episode. Totally unexpected. Now I expect it.

You know, as a Lithuanian. All grandma's are like that since soviet times.

Grandma is so sweet. I literally cried. You guys are genuinely good guys from your heart, that's why people start loving you wherever you go. You guys simply rock. Godspeed!
My great grandma left Eastern Europe after WW2. She was very much like the babushka in this video, both in looks and incredible generosity. She just passed earlier this year, and this video brought a strange emotion I can’t quite describe. Happiness sadness and nostalgia all in one. Thank you
The woman talking about her sons and the kindness she showed. Made me tear up. I’m a 45 year old man I’ve never been so touched by anything on TH-cam.

Nice
I'm so glad your with the yes theory team 😁
Eric you are awesome
you’re incredible. well deserved
Eric, please call her sometimes. I think she'll be really sad if you don't 😭
American here. I just visited Transnistria the other day, and It was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. The people there were so kind, and I got many hugs and made lifelong connections and friends there. It is easy to visit, and I highly suggest everyone should go! :)
Thank you Yes Theory for such a heartwarming video. And thank you for helping the grandma. Watching this video made me realize, there is still so much goodness left on this planet. Thank you for your efforts.
Those babushkas just made my day! This was so good, well done guys!

Thank you Bernardo!

The grandma saying “call me” was so sweet. She is adorable.
She'll appreciate the phone calls more than the 800 bucks they gave her I guarantee that.

"I was just wondering what took you guys so long..." T_T
i was crying that moment :'(
That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard today
This video reinforced every positive feeling I have about travel. The people you met in Transnistria were all so lovely and welcoming. This was so lovely to watch.
I just watched this video and I'm so grateful that this guys helped that grandma with her surgery. She seemed like she didn't have family so you guys really became her family, that's priceless.
The elderly women at this place are so sweet and kind. Makes me wanna cry.
Reflect on this:
th-cam.com/video/hP-uyCtvFYk/w-d-xo.html
The guy who owns Sherriff FC owns almost everything over there… the grocery stores, the gas stations, cigarettes, the sports complex, etc. He’s more powerful than the politicians I think.
You could say he is the sheriff in town.
And the guys defeated the most successful team in the biggest stage of the European competition, baffling isn't it
And he’s ex kgb
Politics are also controlled by him.
Sounds like real soviet union.
Proper communism. Says its "ours" but only a few ppl owns it all.
Its very touching to see your acts of kindness and empathy in all the trips. Just moved to see how grandma was taken care of. Bless! Your travels and adventure are very inspiring! Prayers for all of you to continue what you do. take care
This video is an emotional roller coaster. From a tear with the sweet old ladies to laughing out loud when he was like 'is this pee' with the yellow shots by the bathroom
Seeing how generous and trusting these people were is so inspiring. OMG, the amazing grandma, she's so sweet. I'm so sad when I see older people being alone, thank you so much for spending time with her, it must've meant so much to her 🙏
Hmm.... When your more sus then the imposter
True Soviet spirit
Love from india we love your content ❤️
Whang od
Project respect
the last scene with the sweetest grandma… i’m literally crying
same, makes me remember the day i left home to go to another country. My grandma stood there and waved at me. Its like a record playing in my head rn
These ppl are living their life like most of us. Huge respect! An big thank you to Eric! his Russian is still amazing,
That grandma is so sweet. oh man my heart is melting.
The mother must have been so happy to see someone who looked so much like her deceased son. Must have felt like fate for her and another chance to see him. gosh it made me cry buckets. ❤
She said that Thomas looked liker her other son, not the deceased one. It's still sweet nevertheless.
Thomas looks like Constantine, the healthy one. And Andrei was the deceased one.
Pain
It’s Andrei who passed away. This guy looks like Constantin.
That's probably why she immidiately invited them for tea, seeing someone look exactly like her son, though not the deceased one, probably moved her a lot.
Man I genuinely cried at the interactions between them and the beautiful grandma, such a nice lady, so rare to find. God bless you guys
I did too! It was so wholesome and really shows people can be so sweet even when things aren’t the best 💯
i’m still crying 😭

Wow this place is amazing, the people are so kind and wholesome it made me cry a little, you guys are great , when I was young I always wanted a life full of crazy happy adventures but then real life and responsibilities kicked in and I’m now 40 and still wishing for that happy crazy life , one day guys I will have my own adventures just like you , you inspire me and I’m sure you inspire all your followers. Please stay as awesome and sweet and kind as you all are , love from Scotland 🏴 ❤️
Except it's not amazing. About 150'000 Romanians live there. Putinistas force them to write Romanian with Cyrillic characters which are inappropriate because they don't have the correct sounds. If you insist on speaking Romanian, then they arrest you and they make a show trial, ywith you in a cage. You can search about the Ilașcu case. As a Romanian kid I was watching how he and his friends was kept in a cage in court by KGB people. It is ethnic cleansing of Romanians.
No way,the ending of the video literally made me tear. Guys,you’re not only making such good videos,but also being such good people. 😢I think this one of the kindest videos on this channel, good job
Started tearing up at the end. You guys are awesome.

It felt so nice I started tearing up. Thank you guys for sharing this experience. ❤️
The best part was Eric and her walking. he genuinely showed her interest. The way he communicated seemed like a super cool guy.

This is one of the most heartwarming, exciting, most beautifully made videos i've seen in a long time on youtube. You guys are just amazing. I hope that the lovely grandma had a successful surgery :) Thank you for making and sharing this beautiful adventure. 👍
I'm usually not getting emotional but this old lady whose Thomas reminded her of her son made me cry 🥺 Wish her happiness & blessings. To all the babushkas
I absolutely agree with you the babushkas were all so nice
She was so sweet, so giving right away and started tearing up, so much kindness in her!

Same!
Gosh I cried. Really. This is one of the most heartwarming and wholesome things I've seen in a long time. The babushkas and the people in general were so inviting and welcoming that made me cry for real. I really hope that the people of Transnistria can have their place under the sun respected and loved.
I am soaking in tears for the same reason. 😅 And these two guys are the sweetest gems.
I needed this. ❤️

That sweet grandma just got her eyes' operation paid because she was kind without expecting anything in return. Just by sharing kindness and love so her new visitors and herself didn't feel lonely. Just by letting the universe do its job. Happiness really is a choice for sure. What a lesson. I hope to still be able to meet her one day and tell her how I got teared up watching this

The amazing thing is, you guys just going to these people and showing interest in them and their lives warms them up. You guys are probably what they needed, a God send
I just found this channel and I had to subscribe to you guys! Mainly for when you guys met grandma. She was very nice and I almost cried at the end when you both decided to help her with the operation. I would have done the same, may God bless you both!! These are the channels I like to see not just TH-camrs doing this for views, you guys seem genuine and humble! Stay safe guys! ☺

This was literally SO heartwarming, to see an unknown country have such sweet people AND to win against the best football team in the world is amazing, even with the country being poor, the people have a spirit that not too many people have.
Fr those people seem so mide
And that country is poor, because of the economic blockade from capitalist countries. Same as North Korea and Cuba.
Their mutual aid is one of the reasons why they are still standing.
Little fact, country is not poor, they are rebuilding their city center which was not shown here and have backing from a bunch of rich sympathizers. last time i was there they started building quite a few modern tall buildings. my mom was there recently and they are starting to look more like a city than a backwater town
It's moving to see there's still kindness and generosity in the world. Helping out that lady with her operation... Well, done, guys... You rock ! 😎👍
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!
Thank you, for going, filming, publishing!
Made my day!
God bless you😊
The fact that Sheriff is also currently top of their group, after BEATING Real Madrid and Donetsk is completely insane
insane is understatement XD
fluke or not, its amazing T_T
The history of FC sheriff is absolutely insane. Definitely recommend you look into it

What are you doing here? Get back to your puzzles. Hehe
I went to Moldova and then went to Transnistria 14 years ago. People were so friendly in those parts. They are quite poor but have big hearts. Had nightmares with the border police entering both Moldova and Transnistria. Glad things have improved.
every time we drive to a country in the balkans and pass border patrol everyone just slips 20 eros in their passport and no problems. keep in mind you gonna have to pay more the better your car is

OH, and you videos are amazing. so refreshing, kind and full of light! Blessings! Thank you for new....real kind of entertainment.
I have a buddy from Transnistria. He travels on a Russian passport and most of the time when people ask where he's from he just says Russia. It's too much hassle to explain the truth. He has that same giving energy you see in this video. If he visits your house he repays you by fixing something that's broken, or doing whatever clean up or heavy lifting needs doing. I am so happy to see a video that shows his country in a good light.

Russian people in generell are super lovely and helpful people, especiall the women but men too. See, each country has amazing , heartwarming people and traditions thats why we should give and take just the best of ourselves into the world to make it a better place for all of us :) PS most russians will also invite you to their home and actually give you lots of amazing food, alcohol if you want to and a place to sleep for how long you want to. Same goes for arab and turkish people, they all sit togather and me as a german in the middle of them eating from 1 big plate was such a good feeling , like family, like home, but with "foreign" people. Thats what friendship is all about.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ some do, some don’t.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ I think it is like in every culture. There will be racist people, but there will be supportive people. Same like asian people to other races and vice versa.
@Deep Melodic ProdZ as russian who lives in Russia, I can tell you that attitude of Russian people towards black people is strange. the strangest thing is that we dont really have a word for black people and the hard n word is somehow stayed for a word meaning black person but when we say that, we dont mean the same as American people there is not much racist component in it russians treat it as just a word.
second thing is that black people often participate in anecdotes and shit like that. also because of our ussr mentality, a lot of people from older generation started not liking black people because of blm lootings and because ghettos are usually the most criminal places in USA cities, they just don’t have internet to see what are the reasons of it and etc.
just want to say that if you are black in Russia, you will be feeling safe and calm, but sometimes people will point fingers at you because you are so different and say the hard n word but not meaning to somehow offend you. also you will get a lot of interest from younger generation and some of them will ask you for a photo or insta. (tbh when i myself first saw a black person, I behaved kinda same way because im not from Moscow and these things are rare af)
I haven’t cried in a long time, that old lady broke my heart and when you gave her the $ for her operation choked me up. Been a while I’ve seen a good video like this.
Same feeling!
Bruh same fml 🥲
@Jan Dan I too think that.
@Jan Dan I can't believe thats the case. No one would think that some random people you just met some hours ago would give you a huge amount of money. And how could she know how rich they are so they just could give her so much money. A bit sad to believe people could only be kind of they seek for something in exchange.
@Jan Dan I feel sorry for you if you think everyone out there wants to take advantage of you, especially some old lady at the end of her life that could care less about some hundred dollars. It's seriously sad that your life has made you like this.
wow, i just find this channel today, and this video really makes me subscribe immediately! the part i love the most is the visit to the some sort of cathedral, and all of the grandmas you met is just so lovely! may god bless them all with excellent health!
The two grandmas in the video were the sweetest, they kept feeding you guys like real grandmas! Specially the last one, it made me cry when you had to say goodbye =˜(
"Thank you grandson." And I'm crying like a baby. I love that she can't stop feeding them. It's totally a Grandma instinct. But what you did for her. She was right when she said from the very beginning God sent you to her.
I cried when you guys handed her that envelope. It really just blows me away how for us, $800 isn't even half a budget for a gaming PC. Yet in Transnistria, it's eyesight for a sweet little old Babushka who took in complete strangers like they were her own grandchildren. I just can't. It was too much for me. Really puts things into perspective. You guys are awesome.

@@hellhello6108 Tf- 👀 u ok??
This episode really tugged at my soul. The Babushkas, like the one in the chapel that said Thomas looked like her late son got me emotional. Then the Babushka that wouldn't accept money for the socks and ended up invited them over that evening, was so heartwarming. She seemed to lonely but so sweet and caring. She really got me crying, she reminded me of someone. All the people seemed nice too.
omg i’m going to cry. that woman is so so kind. the tea and the apples. these people seem lovely and remind me very much of my own; the first nations of canada. how lovely. i’d love to visit one day.
Seeing the kindness from these people is so wonderful, no one ever shows this from the world anymore it’s amazing to see
It’s not necessarily that people don’t show it, but you just need to travel and talk and interact with people. That’s the idea behind yes theory there’s goodness everywhere just need to find it.

Its really hard to make me cry but this video did it. I cant believe how nice these people are.
People are nice and happy in cults: either because they don't realise yet, or because they're trying to lure you to stay with them (as seen in the video plenty of times). Watch Midsommar if it helps you to understand the common sense that cults manipulate people, because obviously they won't be able to manipulate anyone to stay if they're publicly cruel, so they pretend to be the nicest people on the planet, to the point that the kindness is also alien: check. Even calling them the equivalent of "family". Soviet symbols and flags are everywhere, and they keep on talking about God. Red flags, man. This is literally the epitome of "too good to be true": that's because it isn't true.
They said that people don't come, they only leave: suspicious how people want to leave and never come back to "such a kind place", and how anyone in these comments from an outside perspective is loving it... really feels like y'all are falling for manipulation by not knowing the full reality of what it's like living there. Knowing Soviet Russia, they'll kill the people who go against their cult and hide them: easy to do when everything's so private.
@@bunille Dawg America brainwashes their citizens from cradle to grave with shit like the pledge of allegiance. Y'all don't get to talk about how other countries or peoples are cults lmaooo
@@felix4596 True some of them think that they are the only ones in the world that matter
The people of this country are so warm, sweet and generous! i haven't seen anything like this before!
It's always the people who have almost nothing, that are more generous and give what they have. Those two grandmas are such lovely people, I hope you are able to keep in contact with them and occasionally check up on them! Also hoping the eye sugery goes well for the grandma who needs it!
*This is what it's called being at the right place at the right time.*
fr I saw Ukraine in the map and I was like wait is this a old video??????????
@@TayyJayy video isn't about Ukraine
@@CGplay186 Transnistria is right in between Moldova and Ukraine. The part @TayyJayy was talking about is 0:30. You can clearly see Ukraine on there
@@CGplay186 it's about a country that borders Ukraine and has involvement in the Ukraine invasion
@@CGplay186 Russia wants to connect with Transnistria through Ukraine. But they have to fight through Odessa first and tons of resistance.
Holy shit, why was this so wholesome!? I literally cried when Yelena was talking about how Thomas reminded her about her dead son, and them getting adopted by the sweetest grandma ever! ;_;😭
I think she said that he looked like one of her alive sons, Constantine. Andrei is the one that passed away but yes absolutely still so sweet xx
@@elegancia6179 my bad! I was too busy crying I guess 😅😭
@@juanmacias5922 same 😭 so precious the whole thing
I tried entering Transnistria on December of 2022. I had my camera and a couple lenses - a 24-70 and a 70-200 (chonky boi). The big lens immediately caught the attention of the military at the border, they then asked me lots of questions about my visit and then just rejected my entry.
I´m just a guy who loves traveling and doing street photography when doing so. I was so intrigued by the place and its history and was quite sad when I couldn´t enter.
I´m trying again this December, anyway.
Thank you for sharing!
Guys, you are just amazing human beings. Thank you for showing it in a positive way. I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you again for helping the grandma. Its just so sad that so nice people are living in such poverty. But they still are so kind and intelligent. ❤❤❤❤
I really hope they will return to see this wonderful old lady again.
I don't think shell be alive by then
@@kingston304 ayo-🙁
@@kingston304 jeez man thats just mean
@@kingston304 that could be true, but aye don’t say that
I really hope they all will go to see their grandparents and being also helpful to them.
I just, a grown man, cried my eyes out because of how heartwarming this is.
True bro i remember my grandma oh her
that last part hits in the feels.
52yo bawled like a 5yo with a skinned knee.
@@stevenhaynes7633 I ma with you, brother!
Same
I remember watching 2 years ago.. randomly remembered it and came back.. still one of the sweetest yt videos I've ever came over ❤❤
its just so heartwarming. The whole people, the calm pace of life there. It is like a time capsule from the past, but also what I would like to see in the future... peace, love, trust and care for all those around us
I cried a lot when I put thought to the elderly woman, living alone finally having guests over... the way she said God sent you guys to her, it actually makes sense and Im just relieved you guys made her happy :)
I had a lovely time in Transnistria. It is definitely an off the beaten path destination, but very safe and welcoming. Glad you guys are showing it to the masses :)
Will go to next year
I will love to visit.

Bald and Bankrupt went there a couple of years ago too
Welcoming? A communist place welcoming lol.
That grandma melted my heart, she’s a beautiful soul.
Bless that grandma
Transnistrian here from a small village near Tiraspoli, thanks for visiting our little country! People often are afraid of coming to our country or visiting the country, especially with the recent shots in the country, but we'll always welcome visitors!
🤍🕊️
how is transnistria even a country youre part of republica moldova
@@Arvinw1 Well, that's not really up to us to decide, plus, it's been 30 years since the war happened, we have our own government, our own borders, what more do you need to consider it a country?
@@VkklVkkl do you call south ossetia a country? No why? Because its not recognised by any country besides russia and nauru and a few others AND it is not in the united nations just like Transnistria YOU ARE in republica Moldova my friend intelegi? And final, on ANY map does Transnistria exist why? Because you already know it’s not a country.
@arvin call it part of moldova all you want, still cant govern it
This made me so emotional because people who have everything won’t give a dime and people with nothing but a happy life just want to share and that’s one of the reasons I work in the medical profession to give back as much as I can
Love it. God bless you❤
@@p.d.9045 because you don’t read theory
I’m speechless. You guys are amazing. The people of Transistria are amazing. Thank you for sharing your stories, but particularly this one.
I loved this, thank you. I had never heard of this place and now i want to go see it lol. The people there seem so distant from the drama of the world and just live their own lives and i love that.
random person outside a bathroom: you want a drink?
Thomas: sure
random person: *goes into bathroom, brings out piss colored liquid*
Thomas: cool
Thank God they left before being offered a Snickers!

I can’t stop crying, this kindness should live in everyone’s hearts
Amazing people. I'd be fascinated to know your opinion. I'm also a substantial follower of this channel and I also create vlogs regarding life in Russia. Unfortunately the youtube algorithm has not been as good to me yet. Almost all people who sees my vlogs says that it is great, but not many get to view it. Can you be extremely straightforward and inform me how I can improve my vlogs? I value your sincere point of view.
Like your teeth. 🔥
@@despairgaming6669 what
@@SamsRussianAdventures Just keep up the grind, I checked out your videos and they’re pretty good.
That old lady really made my cry but i'm happy also with the kindness that they both gave. 😊
Your videos are always so wholesome. Thanks for sharing with everyone and keeping hope in humanity alive. Good people do exist, no matter where you go.
Remember that there are older people in all countries that are alone and would love to tell us stories and spend time. It doesn't take going to other countries to have joyful moments like these. I encourage us all to take time and listen to older people and hear their stories.
They shouldn't be alone. The kids are supposed to take care of their parents when they gets old and can't take care of themselves. Just like how they cared for us when we were kids. Im so blessed i live in q society where the parents are cared by their blood.
Like when holocaust survivors are telling you this vaccine bioweapon is the exact same thing…..listen to them they lived this once already
@@DayZcustomMods The earth is not flat and vaccine is not a weapon. Don't you know that deaths from COVID are much greater among the unvaccinated than among the vaccinated? Or do you disbelieve all the news because the (other?) Trump cultists tell you it's fake?
@@DayZcustomMods They THINK it's the same, but by & large they have no more accurate idea than your average man in the street does.
"Man, all these doctors. nurses, microbiologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, and other researchers keep saying COVID-19 is dangerous. But all these people who barely passed science in high school keep saying it's not. It's so hard to know who to believe anymore."
@@DayZcustomMods what the heck does the Holocaust have to do with vaccines
It's so cool how the story of this video is driven so much by unexpected encounters with strangers. That's the beauty of human connections, together we can make incredible stories and experiences! Thanks for capturing this so well, and highlighting the godly principles of generosity and kindness.
check out Bald and Bankrupt's video on this if you want more content exactly like this, interesting stories, encounters and vlogs in eastern EU and Russia!
he didnt do that. Those people did it, he only put a camera in their faces and then left without anything given back to these people. Just ignorance here and hypocrisy. I bet both u and this bozo give tips to waiters for good services as token of appriciation. But u dont do it here in the east do you? Instead u get awed at how giving we are and just take it. and when we visit u selfish bastards we are expected to comply to your rules. how about u do the same?
@@casianionescu3241 did u even watch the video till the end?
@@hisyamhasbi8257 Yes i did, all the way to the ad. And i see nothing that proves me wrong there. I only see him eating grandma's food that he will never bother to visit again. Even tho' she gave him probably all she had for the week/month . Now she will HAVE to rely on the kindness of the other. My point is, westerners are blind and oblivious as to why we are the way we are and in their ignorance they act like westerners still and just take everything is given to them and will not return the favor.
@@casianionescu3241 Did you miss the part where he did not want to take her gift for free at first? She insisted after he wanted to pay :\
You guys have a great heart. So much of love. Long live for making this world a better place to live for people like that grannies .
