00:00Guys, the future is already here. Today I'll tell you about Chinese nail technology.
00:05Well, for now, a little introduction. So, we went straight from Kazan to China. Yes,
00:11sometimes I still work and finish up content right at the airport before publishing,
00:15but there's no other way. So, we were already boarding and we had two flights ahead of us,
00:20because to get to China and we were heading to Zhenshen, I hope I pronounced it correctly,
00:25because I have some trouble with pronunciation. So, I had to fly to Moscow first and then on to
00:30China. And here you might think I'm collaborating with Aeroflot, because it turns out my hair matches
00:37the flight attendant's uniform. So, we arrived in Moscow, which wasn't difficult, but then we had
00:42a very, very long and unfortunately tough flight ahead of us. But first, we needed to find our
00:47group, because I wasn't traveling alone. There were 10 other girls with me. Some of them, just like me,
00:54were with their husbands. These girls are bloggers too, just like me, from the nail industry and all
01:00of us were invited by a big, very, very large Chinese factory called Onale. Here we are having some
01:07coffee before our flight, because we had a long wait. My back started hurting again, nothing new,
01:13everything is going according to plan, as always. I caught a draft somewhere again. So, the factory
01:19invited us to, you won't believe it, test some innovative equipment. They've come up with something
01:24really, really new, and today I want to show it to you. Because when you look at something like this,
01:29you really realize that the future has arrived. And here we all are. Taking a photo for the memories,
01:35or maybe recording a video. Basically, we did all sorts of things there. It was great. We had plenty
01:41of time to chat, talk and discuss blogger stuff, so to speak. And of course, to gossip about what was
01:48waiting for us in China. So, we were already seated on our plane, and this is the long route ahead
01:54of
01:54us. The flight was long. We slept awkwardly, ate strangely. But nevertheless, here we are,
02:01rumbled and swollen, and we're already in Zhenshen. I called it Zhenshen again. Well, anyway, you get it.
02:07It will be Zhenshen, or something like Zhenshen. But the most important thing is that we tired,
02:12but we made it, and we're very, very happy. Because it's my first time flying this far. The flight was
02:18about 10 hours, give or take. A little less one way, a bit longer on the way back. We were
02:23met by the
02:23girls from ONL, with such a cool sign, so it was impossible to miss them. And here we are, all
02:29crumpled, coming out and feeling really, really happy. The Chinese turned out to be quite funny,
02:35nice and pleasant people. Well, of course, a special thing for me was that they were all very,
02:40very small. Next to them, I felt like a huge giant. There will be shots later where I'm standing with
02:46the girls who accompanied us, and I just felt like an elephant. They are so graceful, so fragile,
02:52so small, so delicate. And here we came from Russia, so huge, like giants. So, there was a bus waiting
02:58for
02:58us. By the way, Anton wasn't very happy. He was really, really hot. He didn't expect the climate there
03:06to be so difficult. It was very stuffy. The whole trip, I felt like I was constantly in a mild
03:12steam
03:12room. The humidity was insanely high. But luckily, we were met by a big, comfortable bus. We had air
03:19conditioning and comfy seats. And of course, our cheerful, friendly group of girls and a few...
03:25from our guys. Anyway, as a gift, we were immediately given a present. Look, these cool little bags.
03:32And inside was a cute tiramisu dessert, which, of course, I decided to eat right away without waiting,
03:38because after airplane food, I really wanted something tasty. Well, I probably won't talk
03:42about the roads and everything else in Zhenshen. There's plenty of other information about that.
03:47It's very beautiful there, although sometimes you would see things like this. Well, I think you
03:51notice it too, right? That pile of trash? Well, as they say, nobody's perfect. And the dessert was
03:57just amazing. Just like Anton, who kept ruining my shot while I was eating my dessert. You know,
04:02it was really great. But I'm talking about the dessert, about the tiramisu. And it wasn't too
04:06sweet at all. It's a small thing, you know, but it's so nice and really lifts your mood. You've been
04:11flying for so long. And then they give you a little pastry, you're riding on a nice bus, and your
04:15mood,
04:16as they say, gets better. What I want to say about China is, I had this feeling like I had
04:21arrived in
04:22Sochi a little bit. Well, maybe it was because of the palm trees. I mean, there was just this kind
04:27of vibe. But of course, the characters everywhere reminded us that we were in China. And here we are,
04:32we've arrived at our hotel. It's just huge, tall, beautiful rooms were waiting for us. I probably
04:38won't spend time on that. The room is great, everything is awesome, everything is super. It's
04:42so clean and nice here. We've checked in. There's a five-hour time difference here. And I don't even
04:48remember what time it was there or what time it was back in Russia. That's why we all felt a
04:54little
04:54dazed. We went for a walk. Well, actually, we went to swim. We hoped we'd be able to do it.
04:59But
05:00honestly, it didn't work out at all. I can tell you right away, because in pools like these, even in
05:05hotel pools, everyone swims wearing swim caps. And then I remembered that my hair is brightly colored.
05:10And well, if there's chlorine in there, my hair would be ruined. So we looked at the pool, sweated a
05:15bit
05:15more, and decided to go back to our room to rest. I got up that day at 5am, local time,
05:21to, of course,
05:22wash my hair. And by 8am, we were all standing at the reception, ready with our suitcases. We checked
05:29into the hotel, spent one night there, and were told that we would have to leave after that, because
05:34they would take us to another hotel. They had a very unusual program. And we didn't quite understand
05:39right away what was going on. But as it was explained to me, the Chinese people are very
05:45hospitable, friendly, and they really try to make sure that guests always enjoy everything.
05:50That's why they decided to organize this kind of journey for us. So this is the first hotel. Let
05:55me show you a bit of its interior. It's really, really beautiful, and it smells wonderful, by the
05:59way. They have great perfume in the hotel. When you walk in, it just evokes something in me. So
06:04at 8 in the morning, all of us were more or less rested, as much as we could be. Although
06:10I know
06:10the girls went out the night before, but I actually slept. We all got together, chatted a bit, took more
06:15photos. After all, we're bloggers. We're always taking pictures. Honestly, I'm one of those bloggers
06:20who takes a lot of photos, but rarely actually posts pictures of myself. But that's okay. So we checked in,
06:25took some pictures, and then the bus came for us again. We step outside, and once again realize that
06:30we're back in a sauna. Of course, I forgot about it overnight. And that's when we all
06:34realized that, honestly, we didn't really need to do our hair. Because my hair started to get
06:39frizzy, sticking out in all directions. So from now on, you'll just see my messy hair everywhere.
06:45But none of that matters, because the most important thing is why we came there. Now we're going to be
06:50taken to... well, not to the factory yet. We'll go to the factory the next day. They're taking us now
06:56to
06:56the central office, and they're going to give us a presentation. Here's a little side note, because my
07:01sister Lisa really dreamed of going to China. Of course, I couldn't take her with me this time,
07:06but she printed out a photo for me. So let's just say that Lisa has been to China. And here
07:11we are.
07:12We've already arrived at their headquarters, where they were already waiting for us. Everything was
07:17already prepared there. We were greeted, photographed, and filmed. There was even a photo zone. In general,
07:23everything was just top-notch. And there was such an interesting moment. They had prepared for us,
07:28well, such how to say, well, I don't know, some kind of mini posters with our photos,
07:34and asked us to sign them and leave something as a keepsake. Some kind of wish. The girls all signed
07:39them too, wrote their own wishes. Well, and I basically did the same. A very unusual experience.
07:45It's the first time anyone has asked me to do something like this. Usually someone comes up to
07:49you for your autograph, just to, well, you know, get an autograph as a keepsake. But here they came up
07:55with this idea. So, the presentation itself began, and they seated us in this beautiful hall.
08:00And here, of course, we were in for the most important part. That is, the main information.
08:06This is the visionary, the creator. His name is Ovan. And here he tells us about an AI lamp.
08:14This is the first model with a skin protection feature. Now, I ask you not to take my words at
08:21face value,
08:21but just listen to what I will tell and show you. And in the comments, I ask you to write
08:27what you
08:28think about it. Does this actually work or not? Does it sound true or not? In general, would you like
08:34to
08:34have such a device or not? So, they came up with this kind of lamp. They spent a long time
08:39telling
08:39and showing how many years they've been on the market and what they've achieved. And now, the issue
08:44of skin safety is very important. It's a trend in the world. So, that's definitely the trend right
08:50now. Someone even joked somewhere in the comments that the lamp was commissioned by Jelena Malysheva.
08:55Well, in general, Malysheva once posted a video saying that you should dry your hands in gloves.
09:00And the Chinese made a lamp that will only dry your nails. And the rays, the LD rays, won't hit
09:07your
09:07skin anymore. There's some kind of super smart, intelligent, artificial intelligence built in.
09:13There's some kind of, I don't know, a program or something like that. It even connects to the
09:17internet. So, it's something very smart and high-tech. Basically, the point is that at the
09:23moment of drying the gel polish, the camera and artificial intelligence scan your hand and can
09:29detect, well, actually, they precisely detect, they detect, well, you get the idea. Basically, with the
09:35help of the camera, the device can determine where the client's nails are and the light will only shine
09:41on the nails. So, only those LEDs will turn on that are needed. It's such an interesting and
09:47unconventional concept. To me, it's really something, something from the future. But even with the
09:53presentation, of course, we didn't immediately believe that this was actually possible and we
09:57were really looking forward to the practical test part. Because, of course, it all looked very
10:03impressive. At times, even a bit scary. Because they were talking about skin cancer. About how
10:10lamps actually harm the skin and so on. And many people are talking about this now. To be honest,
10:16I don't think so. I have my reasons for thinking that. But let's discuss it in the comments. I really
10:21hope that maybe there are some scientists here. Actual scientists. Real people in the field. And they
10:26will comment on this video. So, let me know what you think in the comments. And the Chinese took
10:32the promotion of their brand very seriously this time. They approached marketing very seriously.
10:38For example, right now in the footage, you can see a very famous actress in China. Unfortunately,
10:43I don't know her. But she is really, really popular. And here they are talking about how now,
10:49she doesn't worry about the skin on her hands. She has both lamps and a special sterilizer.
10:54By the way, yes. Next, we will have a machine, a dust collector and a sterilizer. I don't even know
11:01what to call it exactly. Basically, it's a device that kills bacteria. And I will show you all of
11:06this in detail. Well, I guess there's not much more to say about the presentation here. Because it was
11:11really something you had to listen to. But they do have an interesting concept. And honestly, they're
11:16even thinking about getting Taylor Swift to do an ad for them. I'm honestly afraid to even imagine how
11:22much advertising with Taylor Swift might cost. I probably don't even know a number that high.
11:26But oh well. So for now, they've decided to start small in Russia with us. Just regular nail bloggers.
11:33Girls who just do nails. And of course, their main interest is in what we think about it.
11:39Yeah, did you notice? It's a funny slogan. Period. So like we have tasty, period. That's what they've
11:46chosen for themselves. And the main idea, of course, is that beauty shouldn't harm your health.
11:51In other words, beauty should be safe. Basically, the concept isn't bad. Everyone wants to be healthy.
11:58Everyone wants to be safe. I can't disagree with them on that. But again, as long as we don't have
12:04any research, as long as we don't have any documents specifically from Russia, any kind of medical
12:13research on whether this radiation is harmful or not, and whether what the Chinese have invented will
12:19really work as claimed. So the first thing everyone expects from them is specifically medical research.
12:27But the guys at the O'Neill factory are serious. Notice, they even have t-shirts with the logo.
12:33By the way, they have a cool logo. Oh, it's pretty simple. And they dream of becoming like Apple.
12:40Actually, there in China, I think a lot of people dream of becoming like Apple. Or rather, like the
12:45company. Well, because everyone is trying to repeat that success. Well, here is actually the main part,
12:54let's say the practical demonstration part, where we can see all the equipment. Let's take a quick
13:00look for now. Yes, let's check out the lamp. It has a display and some buttons. And notice, all of
13:06this
13:06is completely wireless. That's really cool. That's really great. Here's such a small, cute little device.
13:12It's just adorable. Well, we'll take a look at it too. We'll try everything out. We'll test everything.
13:18Flashlights. They look more like some kind of candy. They're really very cute.
13:23Instead of buttons, there are rhinestones everywhere. They've arranged the trays for us so nicely like this.
13:30So, we've already tried it out there. My cameraman immediately put her hand in to see how it would
13:35work. And look, the light really only hits the part where the nails are. And this is a crazy machine.
13:42A miracle device that places special nanochips into these next generation LEDs. Because the LED diodes in
13:49the lamp are completely different now. See, there's this tiny, funny little circle. There are about 50,000
13:56nanochips in there. And the Chinese even won a Nobel Prize for them. Can you imagine? I mean, for me,
14:02that's really something. Something beyond imagination. So, each of these micro nanochips is inserted into this
14:10LED diode. And the device you're looking at right now is exactly what places those chips in there. So,
14:16this is truly a colossal breakthrough in science, specifically in the LED industry. It's not just
14:23about manicure lamps. It also applies to dentistry, card drying, and so on. And here, by the way,
14:30are those quartz crystals themselves. If before the bulbs were made from some kind of polymer or some
14:35rubbery material, now they're made of quartz. So, basically, they're like little pieces of glass.
14:42And, of course, it all looks like, well, I don't know, on this kind of velvet black base, something
14:48something like jewelry. So, that's how they are assembled, these little beautiful ones. I don't
14:54even know, well, little diamonds, probably yes. Because these are really very, very advanced
14:59technologies. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around it. And, of course, they added even more
15:04flare by replacing all the buttons completely with rhinestones. That was an unexpected decision. Some
15:10of the girls didn't like it, but I... I liked it. I thought it was really cool, really kind of
15:14nice.
15:15They've already turned the lamp over here, taken it apart, they've done all sorts of things with it.
15:20Notice, it has this special charging station. It's kind of like a power bank, and we just take the
15:25battery and insert it into the lamp. And it's ready to work. It should last for the whole workday.
15:31Well, at least that's what the Chinese promised. Look, it's going to load for a bit now, because we
15:36just put the battery in. Then we put our hand under it, and after about one and a half to
15:42two seconds,
15:42we tried to measure it. It reads the position of the fingers and turns on. Also, please let me know
15:49in the comments if a one to one and a half second delay in turning on is significant or problematic
15:55for you. Well, it seemed a bit too long to me. Maybe there's a way to speed it up. The
16:00tamp is also
16:01detected, everything works, and here's a remote control made especially for the technician. Because
16:06if they can't reach the client or can't see something, they can just use the remote to turn
16:11it on and control the entire operation of the lamp. So we twisted it, turned it, took it apart,
16:17the girls were taking pictures, I was filming too. It was really interesting. And I still can't quite
16:23wrap my head around how they managed to fit artificial intelligence in there. But the lamp connects
16:29directly via wi-fi, and every two weeks it will update its software. You can also connect your phone to
16:35it, as far as I understand. And basically, the client can just sit and look at the lamp,
16:40right inside the lamp. But here, by the way, we notice that you need to watch the position of your
16:45nails. Look, the pinky isn't lit up. The top coat on the pinky didn't cure because we didn't place the
16:51hand quite right. There are some nuances here. But again, I want to say that we didn't have as much
16:56time for testing as I would have liked. I would have liked to test such innovative equipment for a month
17:01or two. And then we got a lamp, and it also noticed doesn't have blue or pink light, just plain
17:08white
17:09light. They said that this kind of light is safer for the eyes. And the lamp turns on when you
17:16bring
17:16your finger close to it. After that, we use the dust collector, which is also wireless, and the 50 000
17:23rpm nail drill, which is also wireless. This is what this cute, well, funny, amusing little machine looks
17:30like. I can't describe it any other way. It looks like some kind of doll's device, like a Barbie
17:35device, probably. It also has rhinestones. And of course, during the testing process, we practically
17:41took it apart down to the last detail. I think this device took the most abuse from us overall. The
17:47vacuum cleaner is actually quite decent. I mean, as I'm showing now, there's hardly any dust left on the
17:52table. Well, fine sawdust, it picks that up just as well. So everything is here, it's all the same, but
17:57still,
17:58everything gets collected inside, everything gets sucked in. Of course, everyone was really impressed
18:02that there are no cords, because just like me, nobody likes cords. Here, Anton couldn't resist.
18:08He joined the discussion, because we were having a very heated debate about this device. And right now,
18:14we're talking about the fact that you can't make a device with its own bits. Meaning they said,
18:19we'll make a device, and there will be bits that only fit this device. I don't think anyone will like
18:24that. You can share your opinion on this too, but I believe that the bits should fit all devices,
18:30or the devices should fit all bits. We also didn't like the cord, and we suggested they make it
18:35different, because theirs is fabric covered. And I completely understand that if I accidentally touch
18:40it with gel polish or a brush, yellow, red or any other color, well, a textile cord will of course
18:46turn
18:47into a dirty cord. Plus, you also won't be able to wipe it with any dust cleaners, so basically it
18:53doesn't meet sanitary regulations and not safe. Unfortunately, the Chinese don't know what sanpin
18:58is, but overall, yes, the device is cool, really great. But I would also recommend that they add
19:03silicone feet, because it slides and moves around on the table, which is also not very convenient.
19:09After all, when our people make devices, they look at it specifically from the Russian point of view,
19:13considering the Russian specifics of work, and create based on that. The Chinese try to put all
19:19the most advanced technologies in there. Here we are already taking apart the vacuum cleaner,
19:24of course, they included that too. There are three layers of filtration. Then we already laughed that
19:28this very first top filter, this little cloth, will soon appear as soon as the vacuum cleaner comes out.
19:34A masterclass on how to cut it at home from your own napkins. Because that's us, that's us,
19:40Russian nail techs. We're always doing something like that. Always coming up with something. So
19:45overall, I guess we give the vacuum cleaner a like? Well, again, yes, we'll give it a like,
19:51but still, I would like to test and try it all myself. Also, our Chinese colleagues were present
19:56at the test. There was a girl with long hair. Well, actually, both of them had long hair. Anyway,
20:02these girls, they're also bloggers, popular here in China, and they also tried out this new equipment in
20:07the same way. And here we were explaining about the angle of the flashlight itself,
20:12meaning how it should be attached and how we would like the magnet to be placed there.
20:17But overall, we thought that this flashlight is extremely well designed, because it's just,
20:23just awesome. Usually, you struggle, you don't have time to turn it on, to press the button or
20:28something else. But here it seems like almost everything is taken into account, except for the
20:33angle. And also, there's the safe light, which is only set to be safe so far. I would like to
20:39see
20:39some documented proof, but this thing just blew my mind. So the device is working in real time,
20:45and they are showing us that there are drops of water with bacteria with some little bugs running
20:50around. I don't even know what to call them properly, but basically living creatures. So and now,
20:57by pressing a button, we started the device, and in 59 seconds, our little friends stop moving. So they
21:06claim that such a device can process an instrument in 59 seconds. And they present this as a concept,
21:16where the instrument will be processed in front of the client. The idea is good, but then we would
21:21have to change everything, our entire sequence, our entire Russian algorithm, that we use according
21:27to Sunpin to process instruments. After all, our clients are used to the instruments being in a
21:33sterilization pouch. But with this device, you need to process it without a sterilization pouch.
21:38Nevertheless, if this really is a device that does it quickly and safe for the client, and kills
21:43everything that needs to be killed, everything unnecessary as well at the same time. Why not? I think we could
21:49come to an agreement with Rozpotrybnadzor. I don't know. Who do we need to talk to there? Why Rozpotrybnadzor?
21:54Well, anyway. Tell me who we'd need to clear this with there. I have the right not to know such
21:59things.
22:00I don't see anything terrible about that. In general, it will be possible to come to an agreement with the
22:05special authorities, establish a new protocol, and use such a device. Because doing this quickly,
22:11I think, is something every technician would want. It's really cool. But again, the question is about
22:17real effectiveness. Tests need to be done. We need to find out. Because this topic probably worried me
22:24the most. I mean, it's important to me that these innovations are adapted to our Russian nail industry.
22:31Because we have our own rules and they have theirs. But overall, of course, the girls were frilled.
22:38We picked a little bit here. This is the pedicure of that famous nail blogger. And this is her manicure.
22:44They definitely have their own fashion. For example, they like longer nails on their feet.
22:49And in general, of course, yes, they are completely different. And I enjoyed looking at them. It was
22:54really, really interesting to observe these people. Next, we had another small, tiny micro presentation.
22:59And after that, they gave us gifts. They gave us gifts again. We were given so many gifts. By the
23:05way,
23:06I didn't tell you. They even gave us gold pendants. Almost 4 grams of 999 fine gold.
23:15I was honestly amazed. The pendants had the one logo. It's just, well, it's just so nice. It's really,
23:21really beautiful and high quality merch. That really surprised me. And I'll show you what's in
23:25these wonderful little boxes at the very end. There's a tea set and, of course, tea. By the way,
23:30the tea is amazing. After all, China really does have wonderful, delightful tea. Next, we had a
23:36little reception and we managed to talk to Hadi. She's the woman in red who is in charge of promoting
23:42the 1L brand. We were discussing. Well, I can't really share what we talked about. But anyway,
23:50we definitely had things to discuss. So I just filled a few moments from our conversation.
23:56And I want to say that, of course, the Chinese people are amazing. They are so wonderful and
24:01welcoming to their guests. Well, all that aside, but of course, what we're really interested in
24:06is when they'll send us this equipment for testing. When we'll be able to try it out. And
24:11most importantly, what interests me the most is, of course, Russian certification and our research.
24:18That's probably the most important thing, because you can say whatever you want. You can write
24:22anything you want on the packaging, promote any concept you want. But the most important thing
24:28is the documents. So don't fall for empty marketing, but believe. Believe in verified facts,
24:35not just what someone said on the internet. Oh, I actually wanted to go on this trip specifically
24:42to tell you about these amazing new products and also to show you all of this from the inside,
24:47because the next day we will go to the factory. Right now you are seeing, let's say, the wealthy
24:52part of Shenzhen. And now, can you imagine, by the way, the bear is made from real fresh roses.
24:59It's just absolutely mind-blowing. So here you saw a wealthy, very beautiful part of this city,
25:05but there are also other districts, the areas where the factories are located. And we were allowed right
25:11inside they showed us everything. So we're going to the factory and there we'll have the chance to see
25:17exactly how these lamps are assembled. And just to jump ahead a bit, I want to say that I was
25:24shocked
25:24by how much manual labor there is there. It made a huge impression on me, but that's a topic for
25:31the
25:32next video, because it's impossible to fit everything into one. And here you can see a small conference after
25:39our test and tour, because we sat down to discuss and exchange opinions about what else could be improved
25:46and what else we could try. And of course, for the most part, the girls and I were asking the
25:52same
25:52questions. We were all interested in documentary evidence. We were all interested in research.
25:58Here's a little room tour. This is already the second hotel they brought us to. It's called Beach Hotel.
26:03It has this funny bathroom area, kind of semi-transparent, and everything opens up there.
26:09And the hotel chain is the same. It's Marriott, if anyone is interested. And now I'm going to step
26:14out onto the balcony and everything will fog up again. It's almost impossible to film outside,
26:20because as soon as you go out, if you have glasses, the lenses will definitely fog up. And my phone
26:25camera
26:25fogged up right away, just like that. Honestly, the sauna effect is just amazing. I tried to wipe it,
26:32but nothing helps. There's the sea over there. By the way, by the way, there was a really, really
26:39strong storm that night and we didn't sleep well. And even on the news on CNN, which I found on
26:45the
26:46hotel TV, they also said there was a storm warning and some people were even evacuated. And we went to
26:53a restaurant in the evening. We were all invited together and there were Cadi and Owen sitting there.
26:59It's customary for them to eat in these rooms with a big, huge round table and the top part,
27:06the middle, spins. Oh my god, the things they served us, it's even scary to say. This was probably the
27:13most harmless. Green soup and yang. I have no idea what it was made of, but I try not to
27:18think about it.
27:19There were some very strange dishes for us, although I'm sure if you served borscht to the Chinese,
27:24they'd also say, what is this weird stuff? But there were some girls with extreme tastes,
27:29who gladly tried jellyfish and bamboo and something else that I don't even know how to name because we
27:34had trouble with translation and couldn't always find out. But here I asked for rice with vegetables
27:39and they brought me rice with potatoes. Although, to be honest, the potatoes were a bit undercooked.
27:45They never fully cooked the potatoes. And this is a dessert soup made with red beans. Oh well, let me
27:51know if any of you have been to China, what you ate there, how things were for you, because for
27:56me,
27:56of course, I was left with indescribable feelings. This is also a dessert and all I found there was
28:02something citrusy. The rest, I don't know, it seemed like some kind of mango puree. Mango. So their salt is
28:09wet because it's very humid and honestly, I've never seen salt like that before. Here too is
28:16coconut souffle and down there what you see is beans again. It's a very interesting detail and for some
28:21reason they always put cherry tomatoes in desserts. Apparently, for them, cherry tomatoes are something
28:28for dessert. But for us, they're just tomatoes. Here's the view from the room in the morning. It's very
28:34beautiful, but the waves are still strong, so you can't really go out to the beach. Well, we didn't
28:40have much time anyway, so we just enjoyed the view from the window. I'll finish today's video with an
28:45unboxing of a tea set and I'd like to ask you to write your opinion about what you've seen in
28:49the
28:50comments. I tried to fit everything into 30 minutes because I just can't upload a bigger file. I really,
28:56really tried my best. This is probably the most exhausting and labor-intensive video I've ever made.
29:02Well, in the next part, I'll tell you about manual labor in China and that's definitely going to be hardcore.
29:08So stay tuned, stay with me, write your opinions in the comments and now I'm just unboxing the tea set
29:14and saying goodbye to everyone. And a big thank you to everyone who watched from beginning to end.
29:20I'm Alena Lavrentieva, bye bye everyone and see you next time!
