🙋🏼♀️ Moscow is the largest city in Russia and the second largest city in Europe after Istanbul
🙋🏼♀️ The population of Moscow in 2021 is 12.7 million residents
🙋🏼♀️ Moscow is times bigger than New York
Already shocking? But we haven’t even started yet! And now we are:
✅😳 1 No UBER in Moscow
Can you believe this? No Uber guys! Forget about it. When you open your Uber up it will automatically bring you to Russian analogy Yandex Taxi
Business taxi - this Maybach - from the airport to my hotel costed me £45
For 1 hour 30 minutes trip — yeah … traffic in Moscow is also shocking!
✅😳 2 It’s extremely warm inside - everywhere: homes, hotel rooms, cafes, restaurants
Starting from the plane! I was already wearing my mask which made it difficult enough to breath.
But it was also very hot temperature. I ended up staying in my t-shirt
✅😳 3 it’s shocking how clean it is everywhere. On the streets you will hardly find any rubbish.
Moscow is the largest city in Russia and the second largest in Europe- after Istanbul.
Can you imagine how many people are moving around here every single day?
how can they manage to keep it this clean?
And the shopping centres. Those already look like amusement parks. Very clean and tidy amusement parks I have to tell you. Shockingly clean!
✅😳 4 - How many places stay open until late even on Sunday.
When you are in Moscow get a local SIM card!
Unlimited Internet for 1 month will cost you $30 but you will save a fortune!
✅😳 5 - Level of hospitality in Moscow
Unbelievable hospitality
When you make some friends here you will understand what I mean. They will invite you for dinner, introduce their family to you.
✅😳 6 Tapochki Or Bahily!
Russia’s unwavering use of tapochki (home slippers) and bahily (plastic shoe coverings) is one cultural practice that I can’t still get rid off.
✅😳 7 Russians don’t speak English
If you wonder why Russians speak bad English, there are several reasons for that - poor level of language teaching in Soviet schools, historically not a popular language (we traditionally learned more French and German) and the fact that not many Russians travel abroad or communicate with foreigners.
✅😳 8 Russians don’t drink cold drinks during winter
And this is so true!
And that’s absolutely not surprising, as Russia’s national drink is tea! We just love to drink it, and especially when it’s cold, a Russian would never take a sip of cold cola - but rather a cup of hot tea.
✅😳 9 - you have to sit down before you leave the place for your trip - before you depart
How it works, when you about to depart for travelling before you leave your house you must seat down and keep quite for a few minutes.
✅😳 10 where are NO Ушанки, балалайки, lots of vodka, blini and the bears, everywhere outside on the streets???
I’m so Sorry my friends to disappoint you .. fine! Ушанка, балалайка, матрешка you can find in any souvenir store.
Vodka and blini you can have in many restaurants.
✅😳 11 — Those Shocking Articles on the Internet- The bloody articles i found on the internet. You can’t believe how much bs are still circulating there!
