Thread: Have you ever been to Russia or planning to go?

How many of you visited Russia? What are your thought on going there? Do you have plans to come?
There are tons of crap poured on Russia these days by western propaganda
I invite people from this forum to Russia join Snowden team and change your world view
Last, but not least, you might have the chance to meet me and square things up

Im not sure its the sort of holiday i would go for compared to say Tonga,Vanuatu or the Maldives, you know fresh picked fruit salads,fish out of the water in front of you, clean beaches,crystal clear warm tropical water to dive in and surf on .

We also see alot of road rage and very stupid acts on the roads posted by Russian utube users, looks very dangerous on the roads there and cold and slippery.

Talk me out of it

I would like to take the trans-Siberian express one day and travel through Russia just for the experience. I wouldn't mind visiting Moscow, but I don't think I would venture anywhere else as Russia sounds potentially a violent and dangerous place for foreign people. Not that Russia is special in that regard, but seeing it on a train looks safer.

A guy I know from work travelled through Russia on a bike, or attempted to. He was a right dull cunt though and I cant recall a single epic story from his trip. I'd like to think that if I travelled through Russia on a bike I'd have some decent stories to tell. Getting home from the pub is an event some nights.

St Petersburg is cool... went last year for few days when I was in Helsinki.

I was in Moscow for a few days while it was still the Soviet Union. Bone-chillingly freezing, blisteringly hot in every building you went in and the worst food ever.

Thats alright old man, we understand, there is Viagra these days.

I love Russia because like us (Canada) they love hockey and it's cold as fuck there apparently.

I thought about going a couple of years ago cause a mate was teaching English in Moscow, but I never got the money together to do it. He told me you have to take a HIV test before you even get a visa, although what he says is not 100% reliable.

Like Miles, I'd love to do the trans-siberian, over the Caucasus Mountains and over into Mongolia. Side trip up to Ulan Baatar and then on to China for a box of Chow Mein.

Something to save up for I guess.

I actually wouldn't mind visiting Russia. I'm not big on shooting Vodka, but I could learn.


Cuba is where I really want to go....not til they get their minds right though

4 of my mates went to Russia just a couple months ago to climb Europe's highest mountain (can't be arsed to Google what it's called). Took them 10 days to do it, they spent 19 days total in Russia and said it was fucking mental.

They drank shit loads of Vodka, got some tattoos done in Russian and basically loved every minute of it. One of my mates has traveled the world including the likes of South America. He told me it's the only place where he felt like there absolutely were no rules, almost lawless. You can do what the fuck you like and then bribe your way out of it.
