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!!!

ResponderEliminarI like Russia too!
ResponderEliminarIs Cyrilic Alphabet very different to Spanish or English Alphabet? I have never seen it.
Russia sounds amazing, it's a lot of people who live there. With a few years of savings and motivation, it is possible!
ResponderEliminarI really want to go to Russia someday, sounds very interesting.
ResponderEliminarOne of the most beautiful place of Rusia is the Plaza Roja.
ResponderEliminarRussia sound like a cool place for this culture, but scare me a little the laws of the country today. I really like to taste the food, I hope they have veggie food because i don't eat meat uwu
ResponderEliminarI would also love to visit Russia!, probably because of its political history. Anyway, that's one of my top places to go!
ResponderEliminarI would like to visit Russia too. Sound very interesting his food!
ResponderEliminarwow, I wouldn´t know wich language to talk, there are too many
ResponderEliminarIs weird to me that the multi-lingualism be a reason because I just speak 1 or 2 lenguages and not pretty well but Russia still a great country.
ResponderEliminarI'd like to go there too and eat weird thing and that will probably happen because I won't know how to read anything from the menu.
