Is it cold in Russia?

Back in the year when the World Cup was held in Russia! I went to Russia with the hope that tourists would be used to it by now, as a once in a lifetime experience! A tourist visa is required for Russia! You need to apply for it in advance at the Russian embassy in Japan! It's quite a high hurdle...! And since you can't use Google in Russia, don't forget to prepare a VPN in advance! Russia has a cold image, but it's quite hot in the summer! lol The Hermitage Museum is in St. Petersburg, and Finland is just around the corner! It's hotter than Moscow. As you'd imagine, no English is spoken in Russia! Restaurants don't even have English menus! So I recommend a restaurant where you can point! Borsch and piroshki are a must-try! These two are definitely delicious! I also ate beef stroganoff. As for souvenirs, I bought matryoshka dolls 🪆 They sell cheap ones, but the expensive handmade ones are cute! I recommend the Vernissage market to buy souvenirs! Be careful, as the designs of the products in Russian shops and supermarkets are generally not that great! Russian design is really poor lol If you prepare well, you won't be scared! It's truly a different culture! #Russia #RussianTourism #Matryoshka #Borsch #Piroshki #SaintPetersburg #Moscow
