Konstantin's celebrated 8 Fourth of Julys in America. Nothing like it in Russia. For him, it's a double holiday: America's birthday and his dad's birthday. Eric celebrates on the Pacific with fireworks at the pier. Burgers, hot dogs, gratitude. Immigrants embracing American traditions. #FourthOfJuly
"So I guess just to kick things off, who wants to share a little bit about what you've got going on this summer? I would like to share. Yeah. First of all, I'd like to say happy birthday America, Americans. It's a holiday that is dear to me. I've experienced celebrating fourth of July quite a few times. Eight times, I believe, living in the USA and every time I found it fascinating. It's nothing like fourth of July celebration in Russia, definitely, and I know little of other countries, but I think that this holiday is fairly unique in the world. So I like it. I celebrate. This is a double holiday for me. It's my dad's birthday as well. And I celebrate it here. I went out and I had a cheeseburger and fries. Nice, nice. Well, here it happened to be the 250th, the sesquicentennial, so there were a lot of celebrations going on. Down here in San Clemente, I was invited to a client's house right down on the ocean. So I spent the fourth of July overlooking the Pacific Ocean. So in San Clemente, we have fireworks at the pier at night and usually people grill out. A lot of people on the beach for fourth of July. So I had a hamburger as well, Constantine. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and all kinds of stuff. Just the way I like it."
