Russia has for many years been a land of mystery and intrigue to Westerners.

It is a miraculous country and still mysterious to many foreigners, with many cultural and historic treasures, unspoiled nature; and industrious, bright and hospitable people.

Russia is geographically enormous, far larger than Canada or the United States. It is still the biggest country in the world, stretching from Poland to Korea and from the Polar Regions to the deserts of Asia. It is also the country with the most number of neighbors in the world.

The country spans eleven time zones and two continents, ending less than 50 miles from North America. Within this vast expanse lie the deepest freshwater lake in the world, rivers and forests teeming with fish and wildlife, awe inspiring volcanos, and towering mountains. Russia is the largest country on earth, with enormous tracts of land that have been opened to travellers only in the last few years.
According to the national voting (June 2008)the 7 wonders of Russia are: 1.Valley of the Geysers in Kamchatka; 2.Lake Baikal (the oldest and the deepest lake in the world);3.Peterhof (29km west of St.Petersburg is known by its impressive park and 150 fountains); 4.Rock pillars (it is a geological monument on a Man-pupu-ner mountain in Troitsko-Pecherskiy region of the republic of Komi;5. St.Basil’s cathedral (in Moscow);6.The 72 m sculpture of Mother Russia on a Mamaev Kurgan in Volgograd; 7.Elbrus mountain – the highest peak of Europe

Hello from Russia

I moved to a new apartment in Moscow last January.  I downgraded from a large two room apartment to a smaller one.  My new apartment isn't in quite as convenient a part of town as my old and it takes longer for me to get to work then it used to.  I moved of my own accord, though because I very much wanted to be in my current apartment.  I didn't move because I wanted the old cracked blue leather couches, or the oven (last apartment didn't have one), or the les comfortable ...

I start the day with the sort walk down to the Winter Palace to for a visit to the museum. The place is so famous for all the art they have on display so I figure it is time to be really civilized and cultural. I get to the counter and pay - unfortunately my Russian is pretty bad ok non-existent would probably be closer to the truth - so I have to pay western entry fees. A full 10€ plus another 3½€ for photo fee. This is pretty expensive for Russia.   Well somewhat p...

People who i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia), Katja (Russia), Ania (Russia), Sasha (Russia) Arriving back in St Petersburg i was still unsure of my plans regarding staying, travelling, accomodation, basically everything! Thankfully Juliana's parents kindly offered me the spare room in their apartment once again, which i was really grateful for, but i also didnt want to outstay my welcome! Juliana and i spent the next week chilling around St Petersburg, wh...

Prologue: pre-departure ramblings

May 17, 2008 - Jun 17, 2008
Today we were completely 'guideless'. We took the subway to the Red Square to visit the mausoleum of Lenin. We were lucky; today was a very quiet day and no queues, so it was literally in and out in five minutes. The sight of the world's (second?)most famous mummy is surreal. Because the mummification technique uses wax, the corpse looks more like a Madame Tussaud's statue than a real person. In fact, it would not surprise me if it is a statue, and the real Lenin has been buried alongside his...
