RUSSIA:
Although money can be an issue, and going to distant places can be a broken dream before you start dreaming, I would anyway love to visit Russia. Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colourful country.
Russia has an incredible population, they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but I don't worry over it! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact, its geography is composed of more than 17 million square kilometres!
This huge land is the home of one of the most multi-ethnic nations in the world, and it is considered to be the world’s most diverse society – there are as many as 160 ethnic groups living there, i.e. 160 ways of viewing life, asian people, europeans, people from the arctic, etc!, and just the thought of all the traditions, costumes, and folclore they have, makes me crave for visiting ASAP!
Another of the reasons I would like to see Russia, it's its multi-lingualism, I mean, being honest; with that ammount of square kilometres and ethnicities, you could not expect any less.
There are more than 100 tongues spoken in all the country, and even though Russian is the official language, one can always learn a word or two in an incomprehensible, new-for-us language! furthermore, I find particularly interesting the fact that when writing, the Russians use the Cyrilic Alphabet, and simply, no-one can say it is not a whole world to discover.
Apart from the above mentioned, I have a real interest in taking a tour around the geography, and have a good time travelling Asia and Europe, but even more, I would just love to take a culinary tour, can you imagine the ammount of strange dishes one can find among all those ethnicities?
So far, I have had the chance of eating a couple of traditional russian dishes, they have both been very stimulating and a bit unknown for me, and since I have loved them, I am looking forward to eating them again in situ, and also, have a bite of everything I can, and I am sure that when money gets to be a friend, I will be sending you postcards from there.
See you in Russia!!!

Wow, I had never thought of Russia as a country so full of opportunities and things to know. Maybe I too will end up visiting Russia.

ResponderEliminarI did not know that there was so much diversity in Russia. I think that being such a large country it must have many interesting things to know. I hope you can visit that country one day. -Sebastian Pereira Ruiz
ResponderEliminarWow! Russia sounds like a really interesting country to visit with all its diversity in every aspect. I hope you can make your dream come true when visiting Russia, thanks for all the information, maybe I will consider visiting Russia too.
ResponderEliminarA few months ago, I watched the documentary "Welcome to Chechnya", and is about the lgbt population in that xenophobist place. I really afraid to go to Russia after watch that.
ResponderEliminarThat was a very interesting post. I really felt like going to Russia. I hope I can have the chance to go sooner than later.
ResponderEliminarRussia it's one of those countries I would really like to visit one day, as you wrote in the blog the multicultural aspect of their identity it's really fascinating.
ResponderEliminarIt would be so much fun to visit Russia!!! When I was little I was obsessed with the story of the royal family "The Romanov". Since then, I'm looking forward to travel around this country one day to!
ResponderEliminarRussian culture is amazing. I hope one day to visit Moscow!
ResponderEliminarmore than 100 tongues spoken in all the country!!!, I didn't know that, it must be really interesting learning at least some of them, but very hard at the same time. I hope you can visit Russia some day, and make sure you eat as much as you can!
ResponderEliminarI love the Russian architecture! I hope I can visit that country one day.
ResponderEliminarI hope someday can visit Russia! The subway there is beautiful!
ResponderEliminarInteresting. I didn't know Russia had such a big amount of local/national tongues besides the main language. I bet learning Russian might be quite difficult thought...
ResponderEliminarrussia reminds me of that band named molchat doma and the viral kid dancing electro with black glasses and blue shirt. not to mention putin, so it's kind of funny, lol. εїз
ResponderEliminarThe houses in Russia are beautiful. I hope to go one day!

ResponderEliminarI had never thought of visit Russia, until now!
What a vast land! And more of 100 tongues spoken! Perhaps that's why Lenin said that cinema was the perfect tool for the revolution.
ResponderEliminarAs many I didn't really used to see Russia as a destination until reading this post. Now I literally started googling plane tickets, as if i could afford it soon!
