Airports are scary anyway but they took so long examing the passport and visa and whereas here you can go to the desk in your group, you had to do it solo there and wait until they were happy with the passport. And cos you can't understand what they're saying it's a little scary :')<br />But the Russians themselves we had no issues. Everyone just left us be. Was just a little difficult if we were lost or were in restaurants etc.<br /><br />That sounds a little scary! But I just think, all part of the experience. So longs you respect their culture then everything's usually all grand!<br /><br />Just followed you on bloglovin. I'm not a massive traveller but I love seeing other people's travels :) xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251530588752893681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378542441664223143.post-34973128754566070612015-01-06T19:51:59.186+00:002015-01-06T19:51:59.186+00:00I see!

Why is the airport scary? :) How much approx is a visa?! Yeah would love to go still but would have same concerns you did. Closest I've been is Poland but that was years ago no bad feelings there, however I went to Estonia last year and as awesome, clean, modern and medieval it was (I've blogged about it if you care to see what I mean) it had a big Russian vibe cos obv they used to control it, and I didn't get in any trouble but we went in this cinema for some icecream and what seemed to happen was... an Estonian lad was mouthing off at people (this is in the day with kids around) so this Russian bloke punched him a few times. Don't know what was said (tried asking staff but they kept quiet) but I *think* the Russian guy was in the right (well, aside the violence) but it freaked me out. I know that can happen anywhere but it was very in your face. we met some brits that night who said they went into a pub for some breakfast (so it was morning) and some russian guys came in proper pissed up looking for a fight so the landlord locked the brits in (nice story!) but that freaked me out cos it was in the day. Again that could happen here easily but its different when you dont understand whats going on. I would go to Russia but would be very on guard..thanks for the info :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494891403492382629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378542441664223143.post-3130676334915128182015-01-04T14:36:33.426+00:002015-01-04T14:36:33.426+00:00Thanks Danielle!

Russia was an incredible experience and I&...Hi Amy!<br />Russia was an incredible experience and I'm so glad I went and did it but it's probably somewhere I would never go back. St Petersburg was very old fashioned and traditional looking whereas Moscow was definitely more modern. Safety wise, I was worried before going. The hardest part was the fact they use a different alphabet so we couldn't read things and not many people seemed to speak english (or didn't really want to, fair enough). I think as well as we went in January which I doubt is tourist season, it shocked them that english people were there.<br />We did have an incident in the taxi to the airport in St Petersburg were the driver seemed to like that we were english and wanted to take photos of us and stuff but he did take us to the airport and left. Was a litte scary then.<br />Did kind of get the impression that they didn't want us there when we were in shops or cafes etc but nobody ever said anything to us and we weren't misbehaving or anything.<br />If you get the chance to go then do it because it is beautiful. If you do, you will need a visa which is expensive (we didn't know when we booked) and Russian airports are TERRIFYING :')<br />But amazing experience and I'd recommend going in winter to get the full effect of it all! xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251530588752893681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378542441664223143.post-32565502501149195042015-01-01T12:14:37.865+00:002015-01-01T12:14:37.865+00:00It looks like you've had some great highs in 2...It looks like you've had some great highs in 2014.
