Beautiful places of Russia (part 1)

For me Russia is not wild, and when my friends ask me about some stuff that is weird for them for me is normal. One difference is how people act in trains. Yes, in Russia (Ukraine as well) you drink. It's normal. When the train wheels start to work, in first 10 minutes everyone starts to eat. Polish people ask me why? First of all – for example journey from (lets take Katowice) to Inta (my grand-mom’s place) takes 3 days. So you eat, cause it's just a regular day of your live. Second reason is that our trains are horrible. I mean it – horrible! And when you buy a ticket for a random place in your wagon-lit, you don't have your couchette, you see almost half of passengers. When you sleep, somebody will certainly catch on your lag, or you'll hear some drunk guys singing. And main meal for the trip is: hard-boiled eggs, chicken, tomatoes, jacket potatoes and salt. It's the base! So you eat a lot to kill the stress connected with this journey. 

About those beautiful places: nature is stunning, cities are great. For those, who have never been to Russia I'd say, start discover Russia from Moscow and St. Petesrburg. I've never been to St. Petersburg – shame on me, but Moscow is wonderful. Even when it's your third or fourth time - it's still wonderful. Below is a picture from Kremlin. You can spend unforgettable days in there. Just be very careful in currency exchange offices – they will cozen you for sure! And don’t drink coffee close to city center – you can pay too much and get a horrible coffee. And remember, Russia is Russia and Moscow is completely different than every other place in Russia. But it is certainly worth to go there!
