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.
