Russia: Unknown Country

By Jared DeLuna

Drinking my tea, looking for more and more places where I can land a job

and it strikes me. Russia is an Unknown Country. There are few travel blogs

about it and the people who are writing about Russia are not professional

journalists. They are normal people who just happen to love Russia. Anyone can

tell you that life here is a tough one. However, nothing you read online about

the country will ever prepare you for your life in Russia.

Russia is vast and comprised of so much land that there is a tough time to

even protect it from different invading forces. Russia has gone through different

cultures from the Tar-Tars to the Soviet Union. These differences have formed a

different type of country — not the country that we all talk about, but rather a

country that has been on the craziest path in its history. Russians are leaving

the country because they want to find better jobs and have a better life.

Foreigners who come to the country are looking for the highest paid jobs. It is

no secret that where I currently live is a very expensive place. Moscow, Russia is

one of the most expensive cities —  not only because of the cost of clothing —

but also the cost of apartments here.

Money may be one lure for people to come to Moscow, but it is not the only

thing to think of before you pack your bags and come here. There is no doubt

about it — it is tough.  You will have to work hard to get noticed here. However,

Russia can offer you some good things while you stay here. Russia is a beautiful

country full of wonderful forests and small sleepy villages and towns. If you

want to see the differences between the way America and Russia are like all you

have to do is go into one of these small towns. People are different, not only

because of the culture,  but also because of the climate. It can get depressing

when living here in the winter months. At the same time, life here can get much

better than the life you left behind. Russia is magnificent. But I recommend you

take some time off and come visit before you even decide to move to the

country. See the sights smell the smells and enjoy the drinks. Live your life here

to the fullest and never be depressed in Russia.

Don’t come to Russia and expect that you will make millions overnight.

Those days are over. Come to Russia to fall in love with the country, with the

people and most important of them all, fall in love with your country all over

again while staying here.

From Russia with love.
