5 crazy facts about Russia !

Hey everybody, Liz is Here!

The last summer two of my American friends came to visit me in Moscow and St-Petersburgh, Russia. I’d like to share the facts, that impressed them most of all, so that you can be prepared to what to expect when you come here.

And I hope you want to visit us? :wink:

  1. You most probably need a VISA to come to Russia. Whatever country you are from, please, check this in advance - it takes some efforts to get the visa!

  2. Hard to believe, but Russia is a technologically well-developed country really. You will get FREE high-speed WI-FI almost everywhere – in subway, on bus-stops, in cafes, everywhere.

  3. Moscow and St-Petes are very clean cities. It wouldn’t be exaggeration to say that Russians are obsessed with cleanliness – the streets are clean, the places are clean, the nails are clean.

  4. Contactless payment method are widespread. We do not insert cards, we use NFC mostly (cards or phones).

  5. Groceries and product shops are mostly open 24\7, and on Sundays too!

Keep in mind, the weather can be absolutely different!

And, let me know when you come - I am always here to help you around. Cheers, Liz.
