Life in Yakutia. I am Maria. I live in Yakutsk, the capital of Sakha (Yakutia) - the coldest inhabited place in the World. The coldest ever registered temperature in my region is -71.2ยฐC/-96.16ยฐF. I am Sakha (Yakut), and we are the native people of this land. In this channel I share my videos about culture, food and my every day life. I also like to make language comparison videos since my mother language Sakha belongs to a large Turkic group of languages:)
I hope this channel will help you to learn more about my region. Thank you for being here and have a good day!

โ๏ธ New video coming today ๐๐ฅ
I went out on the streets of Yakutsk to ask locals what they really think about life in the coldest city.
Winter or summer?
Cold or comfortable?
Stay here or move somewhere warmer?
How much money do you actually need to live in Yakutsk?
โฆand a few other questions.
I was very shy to approach strangers, but people turned out to be incredibly kind and open โ and some of the answers truly surprised me.
Video drops today ๐ค
What would you answer to these questions? ๐๐ฌ๏ธ
P.S. Thank you so much to everyone who sent me ideas for questions โ you helped me a lot with this video ๐ค

And one more question: did you find the music in this video too loud? Should I make it quieter in my next one?

Hello dear friends! โ๏ธ Thanks so much for checking out my latest video โ โTypical Apartments Tour in Yakutsk.โ For my next videos, should I add on-screen subtitles? Do you think theyโre needed?
I usually add them because I have an accent, and Iโm worried some parts might be hard to understand
