Hey guys very good morning and welcome back to the new vlog. 9 00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:45,211 Currently, I am in Magadan which is one of the most isolated cities in Russia. I am with Urie, you might have seen him in the last video. It's time to leave Kohima highway.

Today, I am going to time travel. As you know, Russia is the biggest country in the world. There are a total of 11 time zones in Russia. Today, I am going to travel 8 time zones back. Today, I am going to Moscow and the land distance from Magadan to Moscow is 10,200 km. The duration of my flight is 8 hours and 45 minutes.

It is one of the longest domestic flights in the world. I had gone to Vladivostok from Moscow, which was 9 hours. But now the flight duration is 8 hours 45 minutes, only 15 minutes difference is there. The distance is almost the same or it might be a little bit more.

I have a flight to Moscow from Magadan at 2:30 pm. I am going to travel back in 8 time zones. The flight is for 8 hours and 45 minutes we will leave at 2:30 but we will arrive at 2:15 pm. We will reach Moscow before the time we depart from Magadan. We are going to time-travel to the past. Now, the time is 11:30 am.

Currently, we are in the city centre of Magadan. The airport is very far, it is 60 km from here. It will take an hour to reach the airport.

As local buses are available here, I thought of going by bus. He told me that, he is feeling sad because am leaving today, so he has come to drop me off. Urie, Vileri and one more friend of his are here. -Andre. They are going to drop me at the airport. I cannot believe what I am doing here. People are very friendly here, sometimes I forget that he works in the Russian police.

He told that he has to work for 10 months a year. He gets 2 months off. One more month is left, that is why he is travelling and enjoying. We have reached Magadan airport, this is the airport. There are no international flights and domestic flights are also very limited. I think there are flights to 3-4 places in Russia.

The time is 12:30 pm my check-in might have started, I have a flight after 2 hours. I will tell you the details about the flight after doing the check-in. I am doing the check-in, and they are weighing my bag.

There is a check-in Counter here, this is a very different airport. Let's go towards the security counter. I have got the boarding pass and security is also cleared, it just took two minutes at the security counter. This is the departure hall. Today we are going to travel to the Russian European part from the Russian Asian part.

I gave cash to Eugine to book this flight for me. Because I couldn't book a flight with my card. I gave cash to Eugine and he booked a flight for me.

This is an Aeroflot flight operated by Rossiya airlines. The charges for this flight is 15,000 rubles which is 18,000 INR. Somebody told me that, all the flight to the capital city and European part, are subsidized by the Russian government. A flight travelling for 9 hours and 10,000 km, we will get for 17,000 INR.

In any other country, this will cost more than 40,000 INR. We are on the east side of Russia, and we are going to the west end of Russia. There is snow everywhere in the airport.

They are cleaning the snow from the machine. This is a very big aircraft. I have come inside the flight, I cannot talk loudly, this is a very big flight. It's time to fly back to the past from the present. We are going to depart at 2:30 pm, but we will reach at 2:15 pm on the same day. For the first time, I am going to cross 8 time zones in a single country.

I always ask for a Window seat, but today I forgot to ask, and I have got the middle seat. I had no plans to visit Moscow, but there there are only 3 flights from Magadan to other cities. So, I had to go to Moscow, let's go and see what we can do there. Just noticed that this is a very big plane and half of the plane is empty.

I can sit anywhere, so I have sat here. I can also sleep because this is empty. I welcome you all to the biggest and the capital city of Russia, Moscow. We reached Moscow by taking 8 hours 45 minutes flight from Magadan. We left Magadan at 2:30 pm, but now the time is 2:15 pm we reached before we departed. In Magadan, the time will be 10:30 pm, it will be very dark. But here it's daylight, it's afternoon.

The temperature in Moscow is zero degree celsius. There is snow in some places and in some places, it is already melted. We have come to the European Russian part from the Asian Russian part. 25% of Russia comes in Europe and 75% of Russia falls under Asia. Russia is a transcontinental country.

Many of you might not know, this Moscow is the biggest city in entire Europe in terms of population and area. By all means, Moscow is the biggest city in Europe. Some people tell Istanbul, but Istanbul is divided into Asia and Europe. But Moscow is completely in Europe. I had no plans of visiting Moscow, I had to come here, there was no other way. This was the only way to come out from Magadan. Hey guys, welcome back. Currently, I am in Moscow, Russia.

As you saw, I reached Moscow by taking a flight from Magadan. I came back to the city centre after taking a bus from the airport I had shown you the bus when I came to Russia Last Time, this was the same bus and airport. I came back to the hostel after coming to the city centre. The name of the hostel is Central hotel and hostel. Exactly opposite to this, there is a Budapest hotel. This is the next day, the time is 1 pm and I just now came out of my hostel.

There is snow everywhere, it is snowing. The road is covered with snow. Yesterday when I came to City Centre, it was not snowing, but today it is snowing but it is very less. It is not very cold, the temperature is near zero degree celsius. I have removed all the layers inside this jacket. Till now, I was wearing 6 layers of clothes but now I am wearing only one layer of cloth inside this jacket.

There is a lot of difference after the the war between Ukraine and Russia. In the past, accommodation was very expensive and food was very cheap but now it is the opposite. Hotels and hostels are very cheap because no tourists are visiting Russia.

International tourists in Russia have decreased by up to 90%. In restaurants and supermarkets, items and foods are comparatively expensive. When I came to Moscow, I got hostels for 300 rubles, but it was very far from the centre. I have taken a hostel in the centre, Red Square is exactly 1.5 km from here. The cost for this hostel a 600 rubles, which is 700 INR, I will show you the room after going back. I am waiting for my friend, he is coming to receive me.
