Anton: Thank God! I thought we got the wrong Nastya with the way her English was flowing!
Nastya: You wanna start with me? We are in the United States of America and this is Seattle!
It seems very cloudy and cold!
Anton: That is Seattle for ya. It also rains here a lot. Completely normal for this city.
Nastya: I wanna stay away from the rain. I prefer to be inside of an expensive car.
Anton: Yeah right. Heads!
Nastya: Tails!
Nastya: You're loud as a…
Nastya: Anton I cannot walk around in a weather like this!
Anton: Here you go babe. The infamous poverty basket.
This special device I will not need since I will be in the car, but you surely will have a use for it.
Nastya: Like I don't know English.
We are back in the most incredible city in the United States.
Hello, Seattle!
Some consider it to be a refuge for the crazy people.
Others think of it as a home base for billionaires.
A place where the fairytales come to life.
Why didn't we reload Seattle earlier?
We have had many weird exotic cars on our program lately. I wanna go the expensive route in Seattle!
That is what I am talking about! A respectable ride for a respectable host!
Sorry, I need to tie my shoe real quick.
Rolls Royce Ghost! An ultra-luxury car with a price tag starting at $250,000!
The color of lead matches Seattle's sky perfectly! Massage seats, Wi-Fi, even an umbrella for rainy Seattle.
Rolls Royce Ghost is a sports car trapped in the body of a British nobleman.
It is insanely fast yet incredibly comfortable.
I you begin noticing weird things about Seattle right in the airport – funny-looking passengers, rocking chairs instead of the regular ones.
I cannot wait to get acquainted with this city!
The best way to get to the city is subway.
Here is another weird shtick – these electric cars drive people to the trains and help those who are lost.
Definitely a friendly city.
The cool part is that no one checked my ticket.
There were no scanners, no tourniquets and no ticket collectors.
That does not give you a right to cheat, stay nice my friends. Do not do anything dumb.
A fine for a ride without a ticket is $124. I did not think it would be this green right outside of the airport!
Incredible! As if we are in the woods!
That is true. Driving through Seattle is like driving through the woods with rare houses here and there.
A third type of weirdness amazes you as soon as you leave the train.
Wait a minute. Is that a bus on subway rails?
Oh yeah! Regina mentioned that in order to optimize city traffic part of the public transport was moved underground!
Trolleys, trains and buses all share these tunnels.
I wonder what will pass me by next. Perhaps Ptushkin?
Seattle is like 50 shades of grey.
Grey water in the bay, Grey sky above the city, grey concrete skyscrapers,
but that does not mean that this city is gloomy.
Seattle is rather like a black and white photo that describes the mood of the city.
The bright colors would only be a distraction.
Colorful characters here compensate for the lack of bright colors.
Here is a caterpillar-man.
Here are the young ladies dressed in retro style.
People of Seattle hate stereotypes.
You cannot tell a difference between a hipster and a homeless person.
You can never guess a person's age just by looking at them. Twenty or fifty?
It is not clear who is a successful I.T. entrepreneur and who is a poor student.
Well, hi there Seattle!
Funny! I was standing right under the monorail! Well done Nastya.
Monorail allows tourists to see the city quickly.
They say it passes all of the important sights in Seattle. Let us roll.
Looks very unusual. Huge and spacious. Awesome!
They even installed panorama windows for the better viewing pleasure.
It looks like a space train from the future, while in reality it is 55 years old!
I will see the most picturesque sights in the whole city!
That is it? What the hell was that? Can you rewind it?
Do not blink, because a ride on a monorail only lasts for two minutes.
Just enough time to see a couple of blurry buildings and get a glimpse of Seattle's most famous landmark – The Space Needle. That went by fast!
We are used to science museums, stuffed animals and what not.
Here in Seattle they have a museum dedicated to pop.
I am not talking about your favorite pop acts. This museum is keen on popular culture in general.
Even as I was approaching the museum from the outside I could tell that there's no way it will be boring!
This museum does not provide personal guides, but if you are rich, they can bend the rules for $500.
Meet Carol, my tour guide. You look nothing like a regular guide.
Carol: It is not a regular museum!
Pop culture is not for aficionados. It is about whatever is popular! It is about popular music, movies, comic books
Right away, we saw an Exhibit A. Look! It's a real guitar tornado! All the way, up to the ceiling!
This gigantic collection of instruments was dedicated to the most popular genre – rock music!
I know some artists from back home that would cry right now.
This tornado features 700 instruments – 500 guitars, dozens of drums and synthesizers.
Some of these instruments are plugged into a computer. They are alive! Check this out!
This guitar pick is hitting the strings! Let us give it a go!
That is not Metallica, but nonetheless, pretty impressive for a machine!
Besides listening, you can also play instruments in this museum!
A drum table we can play?
This is the only museum that allows you to play real instruments inside a professional recording studio!
Looks just like Abbey Rd. Studious!
You can walk around, play and touch everything for hours!
Well, almost everything.
No item here was stolen. It's that just it is an air guitar!
A guitar made of air! Notice a sign.
Air guitar competitions are very popular in the U.S.
People pretend to play and then break the alleged guitars while swinging their hair and body parts.
Super funny! The air guitar that you see belongs to a 2016 air guitar champion!
I am itching to play something on it, but it says I cannot touch an exhibit.
The next section of pop culture is about the movies!
What's next?
Carol: To Science Fiction hall.
Carol: We've travelled through space and time to collect this artifacts
This hall is dedicated to the most popular movies!
What an eye candy!
Here are most popular movie weapons!
Come join me! Let us guess together!
Say it with me, because you know it! Men in black!
This one is from The Aliens!
That one belonged to Robocop!
They boast the things from the movies that everyone has dreamed of when they were a child!
Here is the knapsack and the trap from the movie "Ghostbusters"
Were these actual props used in the movie?
Carol: YES!
I want one! Sasha can you take a pic of me with that backpack?
Behold the Terminator!
That is an actual jacket worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger on a set of the original Terminator!
Wanna know how I feel old? The first Terminator movie came out the same year as me. It is now 34 years old.
Carol: Here we have few costumes from The Fifth Element movie.
I am sure that all of you remember an awesome sexy outfit that Mila Jovovich wore in The Fifth Element.
I cannot believe that all she wore was that plastic ribbon and a T-Shirt!
Trying to wrap my mind around the fact that this ensemble was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier!
I recommend pop culture museum to everyone.
Here you can do the impossible things like becoming a star and even getting behind the silver screen!
To see the city better the people of Seattle came up with another interesting shtick – a duck-mobile!
It lets you see the city from the ground and then takes you in the water!
Looks cool and all, but a ride costs $40!
A price tag I cannot afford. Let me think of something.
All the freeloaders need to take down notes! You need to head out to Colman Dock and get on a ferry #305.
That will save you 75% of your money! A roundtrip ticket to the Bay Bridge please.
Taking this ferry has to be one of my better decisions. There are no tourists around and no hassle.
I am just sailing and chilling out.
You cannot see a panoramic view like this from a duck-bus!
A ferryboat is as comfortable as a cruise ship. It features shopping areas, food courts,
cafés and areas for rest with couches. Thirty bucks well saved I say.
Because of the constant raining the food in Seattle grows right under your feet.
Great news for a tourist on a tight budget!
Let us get this clear, I do not suggest that any of you eat the first mushroom that you see. These look like..
Friends, once again, I do not encourage eating the first mushroom that you see!
I already had some!
I do not… encourage…
Friends do not eat..
Friends… I do not…
I got it!
Do not try this at home, because eating unknown mushrooms can be dangerous for you,
but these look like champignons. Seattle is the spot if you are broke!
Peeling off the dirt.
A perfectly fine tasting mushroom!
You are coming with me. Just like that. Terrific!
I could afford any posh hotel in the city, but I have seen too much of the fifty shades of concrete by now.
I wanna get closer to nature while in Seattle. Therefore, I decided to stay at the lodge.
It is nice and warm in here. People are sitting next to a fireplace. I like a feel of this lobby.
Feels old fashioned.
I wish I could spin a Sinatra record next to that fireplace.
Mamma mia! This is incredible! Check out the brown leather, the dark wood.
The table was made from a tree cutout too. It doesn't feel like a hotel at all. More like an estate.
All is fine, but the main attraction is behind this sliding door!
A thing of beauty!
Name another hotel located on top of a waterfall. Snoqualmie Waterfall pours down from 82 meters high.
That is 30 meters taller than Niagara Falls. Imagine that!
Moreover, this is the waterfall that was used during the filming of the opening credits for Twin Peaks TV series.
A waterfall has a sound lever. Check it out. Quiet. A bit louder. Full volume! Fade it back and loud again!
Besides being pretty, a waterfall is also useful. It provides power for the whole hotel complex.
Seattle is a tough city for a poor tourist. A bunkbed in a hostel will cost you at least $35.
I do not need to worry about hostels since I am a certified couch surfing expert.
Locals open up their homes for travelers for a night stay. Here you will find many immigrants from our homeland.
I think I should be just fine. Hello.
Lyosha: Hello.
Nastya: Nice to meet you. Thank you.
BOTTOM GRAPHICS: Lived in Seattle for 5 years.
Lyosha: Please come in. Cozy huh?
Nastya: Of course it is! It is not sunny where you live at all! Can we shut the door?
The idea behind couch surfing goes beyond a free night stay. It is meant to bring people and cultures together.
You get information about the city right from the source!
Seattle is nothing like an American city, because people who come here feel like they do not belong in the mainstream culture.
It is a Mecca for the rebels, people who want to express themselves differently on the streets.
A cruddy look is extremely popular here.
The weirder you look the more appealing you are to the people surrounding you.
Lyosha told me things about Seattle that were impossible for me to comprehend.
Seattle's residents put the freedom of choice first and foremost.
Even the homeless people who are vegan get their own separate contributions.
You heard me right. There are homeless vegans in here!
Seattle is the only city where citizens have forced a removal of a hydroelectric power plant, because it was a hazard to salmon!
Lyosha: The new Amazon structure? There are huge posters all over the town about how hazardous it is for salmon.
Our infrastructure is created in a way so that is not unsafe for water and salmon.
There is another thing that I read – the orcas were seen in our Puget Sound Bay!
About a dozen of them are there. They all have names and everyone knows them!
They are the local favorites for sure. A state Governor ordered a limit on ship traffic so that the orcas feel more comfortable.
Engine sounds scare them.
Nastya: Their way of recycling boggled my imagination!
Lyosha: There are three groups of waste – things you can recycle, compost and the other waste!
The trash bags for each type have a distinctive lid. One for each type.
Nastya: Really?
Lyosha: Yes.
Nastya: Are you doing all of that sorting?
Lyosha: It feels great to contribute to saving the planet. Like drinking hot tea.
Nastya: Here's my conclusion. People who live here already evolved to the level of thinking of our future grandchildren.
Seattle looks like a city of loafers and hipsters. It turns out that it is in fact a city of millionaires.
Correction. A city of billionaires!
Corporations that were born here are crème de la crème – Microsoft, Starbucks, Boeing and Amazon.
All of their owners live in Seattle. All in one neighborhood.
I wanna see how they settled, but all you can see from a car window are the fences.
To have a peek at billionaires I will just have to pretend to be a millionaire by renting a $300,000 yacht – Kinship.
Nice boat!
Anton: Anton.
Captain: Captain Garry.
Anton: Nice to meet you!
Captain: Welcome on board!
Billionaires love the shores of Lake Washington.
Anton: Are there many millionaire homes in the vicinity of Seattle?
Captain: Yes!
A house of Charles Simonyi was the first one we saw. He is a developer for Microsoft and is worth $2.7 billion.
His house looks like a Windows OS opening screen.
Simonyi is a famous space tourist. He spent $60 million for his two trips to the orbit.
That is a house of Howard Shultz, an owner and founder of a largest coffee shop corporation Starbucks.
He is worth $2.8 billion, while his estate looks like a regular house at Mezhyhirya.
Keep in mind that his company's budget turnover is around $10 billion.
The house looks modest if you ask me.
A two floor building with a garden? Where is the creativity in this?
Couldn't he slip some cash for a small statue of himself?
That is an estate of Bill Gates, a founder of Microsoft. He has $91 billion hidden under his matrass!
His house looks like a typical cabin on the Pacific Coast.
Have a look at the house of the world's former richest man.
You can tell that Bill Gates has no idea how to live big. He has so much to learn from our politicians!
Not a single ostrich running around! The private square area is not even a mere hectare!
Bill Gates' house only looks simple.
In fact, this is a smart house that can start running hot tub water for you while you are on your way from the office.
Hidden somewhere behind those trees there is a garage with 33 luxurious vehicles.
Just the simple fact that we are filming here and we have not been disturbed tells everything about America.
If it were in our country, Bill Gates would have been outside already.
With a pitchfork and some underwear on, screaming at the top his lungs for us to get away.
Last, but not the least – the home of the richest man on the planet. A man sitting on $130 billion – Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos.
A nice and cozy country house. He was selling books online until he was 37 years old.
After that, he launched the most successful online store in the world and became a millionaire.
I can tell that these local billionaires don't know jack shit about luxury.
Who builds a mansion next to a high-rise? Why would you wanna be seen by commoners? Insane!
Anton: How come that the two richest people in the world come from Seattle?
How did they become billionaires?
Captain: I don't know. They started somewhere in the garage and developed until they achieved success.
Anton: Maybe there is some secret? Maybe only geniuses are born here?
Anton: Rolex was the first thing that popped in my head. Everyone in Seattle is just rich.
I asked a random question. I was like is that a Rollie? Like hell it was! Let me cover up mine.
Can you hear it?
It is here!
The rain in this city feels different.
The atmosphere is romantic, warm and comfy.
Locals do not consider rain as bad weather. It is rather a mood setter.
Another strange thing – they do not cover themselves with umbrellas.
Almost as if people of Seattle are waterproof. Like a duck out of the water.
They say that if it rains while you visit, then you got to know the city. Behold Seattle's most famous viewpoint!
Despite the cold rain and the wind, this moment is magical! I want to enjoy it. Wow! I think I am good now.
I might as well raise a glass to a city like this one.
Cheers! This one is to you Seattle!
Nastya: Good evening.
Lyosha: Hi!
Nastya: What are you guys playing?
Lyosha: We're playing Settlers of Catan. You have a bunch of resources on hand, like land, fields, meadows.
Every time you throw the dice, you have to see if your building is located near any of these resources.
If your building or a town is nearby you can pick up a new card.
Then you just have to commute how much you need for a road construction.
Cool!
Lyosha: Super simple.
Nastya: I'm just gonna go read this book about Harry Potter. I heard it's good too.
Lyosha: Sure thing.
Nastya: Thanks. Good night.
Let me go to bed before they make me sort out their garbage. Good night it is.
The worst part of the morning is seeing a tired puffy face and then realizing that it is you.
Good morning waterfall! Good morning eggs and bacon!
One of Seattle's biggest landmarks is not a monument or a sculpture. It is this café.
Looks like a regular eatery from the outside, but this used to be Kurt Cobain's favorite spot.
It has been serving customers round the clock for 73 years!
Everyone in Seattle has had a meal here at least once. I could not pass up on this.
Beth's Café is famous for its twelve-egg omelet.
I ordered mine with mushrooms, cheese and ham.
It is so huge! You can get a blanket if you unwrap it.
A portion also includes three slices of French toast and hash brownies. All in all, not cheap – $20.
I am telling you right away that I can probably finish a half of this plate.
I will take the rest with me, because I still have a full day in Seattle ahead of me.
Portions of that size are a common thing for any American restaurant.
The size of my first bite equals to a size of normal human's breakfast.
Tasty. These omelets are a common Seattle's breakfast. Beth's Café serves 450,000 eggs each year!
Just one more bite I will go cokadoodledo!
Too many eggs for one girl. I am taking it all to go.
Taking leftovers with you is considered normal in America.
The containers are free and no one looks at you crazy.
Get it all in there. Look at two of these boxes fully loaded with food!
It will last me for the rest of the day! Not gonna die of starvation anytime soon.
This would be like a breakfast at my nana's house if it were not for a waterfall over there.
Honey from Heaven desert is what I was waiting for.
Waiter: Are you ready to taste the honey from heaven? We produce our own honey here since 1916.
I will pour honey on the biscuit as if it was a waterfall.
What a beautiful tradition that is.
Done and done!
Let me try this exquisite shaman dish.
I do not mean to offend anyone, but it tastes like a sweet bun with honey on top. Not much else.
I recon anyone can prepare this desert with a rich 100-year history at home. Just get a bun and some honey.
Seattle never ceases to amaze me. All hail to the goat! Hail to the goat! Including this gal!
I feel like singing because I am about to partake in the most unusual yoga class on the planet!
Goat yoga was created by accident. Once upon a time people wanted to yoga on the ranch and they were then joined by goats.
As it turned out, doing yoga with goats is more relaxing and fun.
I do not fully understand what is happening here, but this is awesome.
Goat yoga is just like regular yoga, except there are goats surrounding you as you are opening your chakras.
Interesting way to do yoga! I like it.
I beg your pardon, I am trying to do yoga here. Could you please move a little?
Take a pic of me with that goat.
This goat is a one of a kind.
Occasionally, the goats will provide you with help when they massage you.
They are really friendly and not afraid of people. Very cuddly.
Oh! How sweet!
You can cuddle all you want after the yoga session is over.
You are so cute! We are like a painting you and I – Nastya and a baby goat.
So many benefits, like bonding with nature… like coming into contact with your body next to nature… here you go.
Just sitting here, doing nothing, while these two goat are amusing me.
How can you be an unhappy person here and not love life?
This is so great. So sweet.
Near Seattle there is a mysterious Hoh Rainforest.
Trees are like fairy giants there.
They say that only in this forest there are real miracles. I can not miss this!
Entrance fee to get to the woods is only $25, but I am a pro at making everything more expensive!
I'll just do what I usually do and get a guide for $500.
Hello Tommy. I'm Anthony.
Tommy: Nice to meet ya.
Are you hiking in those?
What is wrong with my white sneaks?
Tommy: You'll ruin them! Here. This shoes more suitable.
Dear God!
Hoh Rainforest is very old. This 100-meter tree is a thousand years old. A hundred meters!
Our buildings are shorter than that.
Tommy told me that this place is called an Atlantic Rainforest.
Four meters of water pour from the skies annually.
The water is everywhere, even the air feels like a soaked sponge.
These are the perfect conditions for the moss, which grows on everything besides reindeers.
Hoh Rainforest is truly magical and Tommy told me everything about its wonders.
BOTTOM GRAPHICS: Wonder #1.
Everything here grows expediently because of the amount of water. Take this fallen tree for example.
After just one year, a few new trees started growing out of it. Turns a dead tree did in fact create a new life.
Tommy: The trunk is rotting and it turns out something like compost.
Old fallen trees do not remove, but leave to fertilize the soil.
Turns a dead tree did in fact create a new life. Like the yin and the yang.
BOTTOM GRAPHICS: Wonder #2.
The moss on a tree retains a small canister of water. In fact, it can be squeezed like a sponge. Check it out!
You see? The whole hand is wet.
BOTTOM GRAPHICS: Wonder #3.
Here is another wonder – all of the trees here look differently. You could never tell that this is a maple tree.
There is no way I could see that.
Tommy: Now you should go by yourself. In silence. Only alone with the forest you will be able to feel all magic.
Anton: Thank you Tommy. That was a great tour!
My guide was not wrong when he told me that the magical powers of this place are best felt when you wonder through the trees by yourself.
This tree reminds me of Trinity from the Matrix.
This one looks like Ent from The Lord of the Rings. The trees that helped the hobbits.
Every tree is unique and provides different associations – monsters, spiders with multiple legs.
People with good imagination will have a blast!
The main miracle happened to me just as I was about to leave.
Look! A deer in the wild!
They are not scared of people at all! This one looks just like Bambi!
I am cold and soaking wet, but I feel elated inside! I think we stop believing in fairytales too soon.
The fairytales do happen.
Here is a first clue of where I will hide our bottle – this restaurant. Here is your second clue – this forest.
Finding a $100 from Reloaded in Seattle will not be an easy task. Head out to an Olympic Park on Highway 101.
Make a turn on Kalaloch Rd. near a Creekside restaurant. Walk left along the shore for about 100 meters and then look under the trees.
Best of luck!
Seattle is like that nonconforming kid in the back of the class who lives by his own set of rules.
Seattle is a weirdo that does not give a damn about what anyone thinks and is consumed by his own ideas.
This is the reason why a weekend here goes by in a single breath.
The best idea would be to stay here for a week or two!
There's Anton! Get your butt over here! What's the matter Anton?
Seattle made me fall in love! There is no sun, it is cloudy, rainy, but it has so much soul and character!
The rain suits it so well! Yeah!
Getting poetic!
This is a unique occasion – we both like Seattle. That can only mean one thing –
we are gonna give it a big, fat "Like"! High five!
Visit Seattle friends, while we are on our way to reload…
The next city! What a team we are!
Can you move your umbrella out of the way? It does not even match our colors. Put it away.
Let us go over there and handle our business.
What business? We are just friends.
We can play charades and name our favorite cities. Here is a fir, come!
Nastya wait up! Why are you mad girl? Chill, you just slipped.
