Good morning folks

So Tucker Carlson asked a question and even though I'm not in charge, I will answer it: the Moscow Metro (just as the St Petersburg Metro) are not just considered metro stations, they are also considered cultural heritage and therefore treated like "sights" or museums.

They have stunning art and architecture from the Soviet era (and even before that, with art going back for centuries) and Russians take somewhat of pride in that.

Putin is known for being a big fan of the Soviet era and so it is presumable, that his administration takes great care of it. Generally, since it has very stunning art and architecture in it, littering or graffiti is really looked down upon.

Anyone, who travels to Russia, will come across that information sooner or later and there are even tourist guides, who give plans on which metro stations are the most beautiful and worth looking at (there are over 200 of them and some of them are really worth looking at but no tourist has the nerve to metro-crawl from metro station to metro station). The fact, that Carlson doesn't mention that, makes him look Incredibly uninformed and dumb, because it's reeeeeeaally hard to miss when you travel to Moscow or St Petersburg.

With that being said,

Have a nice week everyone ♥️

Alice and her father Emmett

Part 1. About them

Emmett Lake was born in Pleasant Valley, New York, in March 11, 1859. He worked in a shoe factory when he was 18 year old. He was 35 year old when his daughter Alice was born. He worked in the laundry business till the last.

His daughter Alice graduated Erasmus Hall high school in Brooklyn. Vitagraph Studios was not so very far from her home, so she started her film career by getting an extra part of the Vitagraph films. In early 1920s, she was Metro's movie star. Her only marriage was badly ended by she charging her husband Robert Williams. Her mother Carrie died in 1925, and her father died in 1930, and her ex-husband died in 1931. In 1936, Alice was convicted of intoxication and she prefers to spend two days in jail by claiming that she has no $10 fine. Alice didn't appeared in films after 1945, and later she worked as a candy packer. In later years she worked as a candy packer. In 1957, she's jailed again on a charge of intoxication.

Part 2. The article about Alice's parents

Three lakes in Hollywood

"There are three lakes in Hollywood. They are Emmett Lake, his wife and his daughter, Alice Lake."

-"Flickergrams," The Bakersfield Californian, April 26, 1921

Alice cooks the meals

"They do say that Alice Lake cooks the meals for her mother and dad"

-"The Movies," The Southeast Missourian, May 12, 1921

Alice left home

"An only daughter is likely to be appreciated by well-to-do cultured people, and the parents of Alice Lake felt that a great big hole had been made in their lives when their beautiful young daughter left them to become a motion picture actress on the Pacific coast."

-"Scandinavia Often Taken to Mean One Country by People," The Border Cities Star, September 19, 1922

Part 3. The article about Alice's life

Marriage

"If anyone believes that romance is dead in film circles it is interesting to note that the Lake-Williams romance was directly fostered by the serious illness of Mr. Williams, who was threatened with pneumonia shortly after arriving on the Coast. Miss Lake has been in constant attendance upon him, and has nursed him through the sickness."

-"Alice Lake To Marry," The Troy Sunday Budget, March 16, 1924

Divorce

"Miss Lake stated that she had separated from Williams three times during the last year, and when they separated in New York last February he left her with an unpaid hotel bill. She also said that her husband had done very little work since their marriage."

-"Alice Lake Wants Divorce; Says Bob Williams Is Cruel," Providence News, May 28, 1925

Arrested

"'Acting before the camera is all I know,' she said before the jail doors were opened."

-"Alice Lake Unable To Pay $10 Fine," The Sunday Sun, February 29, 1936

In jail

"After spending a few hours in prison, she complained of being ill and was taken to a hospital where surgeons said her condition was not serious."

-"Ex-star Jailed," St. Petersburg Times, March 2, 1936

Hello again. And this is a request)! I haven't had any ideas for this query for a long time. I finally finished reading Andrey Dyakov's book "To the Light" and went through all parts of the Metro from Dmitry Glukhovsky (THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE UNIVERSE!!!!!1!1!). And in general, I like the theme of the post-apocalyptic world, it inspires me. And I would like to make a request on this topic, so. What would be the reaction of the champions if a reader from our world (only after a nuclear war) ended up in botw (description for the reader: she is from the Primorsky Alliance, this is St. Petersburg, she also has a Pecheneg control panel (I'll try to insert a St. Petersburg metro map)). Thank you in advance and wish you good luck in your recovery.

Alright I think I understand this, I'm going to do this as a reader from a post-apocalyptique World because I haven't read this book but I love me an apocalypse au/ trope. Thanks for the request!

So you come from a world where there's been a war that nearly brought the world to it's end so imagine your surprise when you suddenly wake up in a new world.

The first thing you notice is that you can see the sky. Home is covered in thick layers of ash and smoke that block the sun so it's remarkably bright.

You're searching your new area and making sure you have all your important gear still when you notice the mechanical noise

This tiny egg sits in front of you and just as you're leaning down to poke it you hear voices and running

Survival instincts take over and you duck behind a large rock hoping whoever it is keeps running

Unfortunately this egg crawls over to you and starts pulling on your clothes leading the curious people straight to you

Taking up a fighting stance you find a duo standing in front of you. The blonde girl steps forward to the egg and when it beeps she asks if you were the one it brought

She explains that the egg can bring people to help them in the war and it must have gotten you. You want to just walk away and go find a tree to hide in but something in her doe eyes makes you stop

You finally agree to at least learn about their world and see if you can help them and the girl cheers. You swear you see the bit soften at the sight of her happy, and you wonder what hardships could be in this beautiful world

They take you to a massive castle that has you feeling unsafe for some reason. You can't tell why but as they lead you to the King your flight response is going crazy

The king immediately demands why Zelda is spending her time collecting commoners when she should be praying to the goddesses for her powers to unlock. You suddenly get why this place made you feel like an animal in a corner. Unable to take the king berrating the kind girl you step up

"I come from a time where the world has ended. If you want to keep the same from happening to you I suggest you allow your daughter to prepare for war in the ways she can rather than force her to put her efforts into something that may never be achieved"

So maybe you twisted your origin a little but, but you just couldn't take the pompous words. The relief on Zelda's face as you stand next to her proves that you made the right call

The king huff's and says you will work alongside the Champions to prepare for the war. It's then you notice the group standing to the side. You're not sure what they are but the way both your new companions seem to brighten at the group has you trusting them fast

Introductions are taken to a gazebo outside where you explain that although the world's aren't the same, you're sure you can help them prepare for a war and that you promise to do anything in your power

The bird man scoffs and questions the ability of a tiny human compared to those with superior abilities.

You may have judo flipped him to prove your point👀

To be fair that gave you an instant friendship with Urbosa and Daruk, the latter slapping you on the back so hard you thought your eyes would pop out. The smallest champion had a look in her golden eyes that made you believe she agreed with your actions but would never say that out loud

That moment began a friendship and the beginning of a war

You were given access to the war council room where you quickly proved yourself by creating a defense strategy that worked against any monster

You tested this by going out to set up your traps with Link and Zelda. Both were intrigued by your work and the princess was excited for any chance to run tests and get away from praying in freezing lakes

Link appreciated your ability to lighten any mood with sarcastic jokes, something you found he was also very good at. For someone so quiet there was a lot of sass.

Once you both were in a mood after dealing with the King and his temper towards Zelda then you went into town and came across this rude stable hand who also snarked the princess. Yeah he was so embarrassed and ripped to shreds by the two of you that he's never coming near any of you again

This got to Urbosa who was immensely appreciative of you. She was a mother figure towards you the second she found out you had been mostly alone since you were young and had learned to fight for yourself

Urbosa trained you hard to be the best warrior there was and spent time watching the sunsets with you after. She once treated you to a noble pursuit and laughed the whole time as you shouted and tried to make friends with everything you saw. Those poor lizalfos aren't sure what they have more, your sword or your hugs

Urbosa may have told Daruk and he was eager to spend time with you. You may think your friendship would be all jokes but the way Daruk was quick to throw up a shield around you when anything got dangerous told you how much he cared

You were strong after having to fend for yourself and the two of you would have fun throwing rocks around and mining for gems when emotions got to be too much.

You were also both food people along with Link so meeting up for cookouts weren't uncommon

Of course all the Champions we're invited to this but none had the same enthusiasm as you three did. Hey the apocalypse makes you hungry and you'll take any chance for good food

This is where you got closer to Revali. You said you wouldn't apologize for defending your pride but you shouldn't have been so agressive about it. He huffed but you knew he understood how you felt, he would have done the same.

You managed to teach him new way to tie back hair, something you learn when you have to keep hair out of your face to fight. He wants very receptive at first but watching as you twirled strands of your hair into a warrior style he was intrigued. Finally he allowed you to walk him through the steps and you could feel the bond forming

Soon after you were helping to make arrows for the army and revali came up to you. He claimed you shouldn't be making arrows if you have no idea how to use them. He had a point, how could you test new arrows if you can't shoot them

So now you're being trained but the best archer to ever live -his words- and bonding over creating new arrows to use against enemies

You and Mipha were friendly but not very close until one day you and the Champions were helping to fortify the Zora defences and when you took off your jacket your scars were on display. It was then the Champions knew just how much you had been through

You had fought for your life every moment and had seen too much for any person to handle alone. But here you were, smiles and jokes, always ready to lighten the mood and lift up your peers. They would protect you with all they had.

Mipha took you aside and asked if she could try to heal your scars. You smiled softly as you refused, each scar had a story and you didn't want to forget all you had overcome to get here

She smiled understanding your conviction and offered to heal the muscle damage. The marks would remain forever, but maybe she could ease the pain

You looked around at the Champions that watched over you, your friends, and you understood. Softly you agreed.

Things were different now. You finally had friends to have your back. You weren't alone

Are you thinking about traveling to Russia? If so, there are some facts you need to know before you go. Keep reading for 16 facts about Russia that will make you want to jump on an airplane soon.

Fun and Interesting Facts About Russia

1. The World’s Longest Railway Is in Russia

Did you know that the longest railway in the world is in Russia? The Trans-Siberian Railway extends from Moscow to Vladivostock, a total of 5,772 miles. If you want to take your time and travel around Russia by train, the Trans-Siberian Railway makes it easy to do so. You can choose to ride in a first-class cabin or third-class seats, depending on your budget and the experience you want to have.

The Trans-Siberian Railway even connects to China and Mongolia if you have the desire to visit those countries as well. Read more: Mongolia Pictures from the Russian Border to the Gobi Desert

2. Russia Is Home to A Lot Of Famous Literature

If you are someone that loves literature, you probably know that Russia is home to some of the best and most esteemed writers. A few of the great Russian authors include Alexander Pushkin, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Ivan Turgenev, and Vladimir Nabokov. The famous Russian authors that you may also know are Fyodor Dostoevsky (Crime and Punishment) and Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace) and Anton Chekhov (A renowned playwright known for The Seagull)

Many famous literary writers have a museum dedicated to them that you can visit in Russia. Most can be found in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Whether you are a superfan of their work or you don’t know who they are, you can learn something new about them and Russian literature by visiting their museums.

3. Russia Has 12 Active Volcanos

Another one of the most surprising facts about Russia is that it has 12 active volcanos! Of those volcanos, Kamchatka is one of the most commonly visited due to its accessible location.

If you are someone that loves nature and beautiful landscapes, you should visit Kamchatka. This active volcano has over 1,000 different species of plants. It’s also home to brown bears, sheep, and wolves. You can choose to visit Kamchatka on your own or go on a guided tour. If you are unfamiliar with the Russian language, an organized tour is the easier option.

4. Siberia Makes Up a Majority of the Land

Did you know that Siberia makes up 77% of the Russian Federation? Siberia is a large region in Northern Russia. While it makes up 77% of the land, only 20% of Russian people live in Siberia due to the harsh conditions.

We drove across Siberia in the summertime and it was beautiful. Siberia reminded us a lot of Canada. And the people were so friendly and welcoming. If you love to get off the beaten path while traveling, you should visit Siberia. It is known for its natural beauty, and if you are lucky, you may even spot a reindeer.

5. Russians Have Plenty of Superstitions

Another interesting fact about Russia is that, in general, Russians tend to have many superstitions and traditions. One of the most common traditions is to only give flowers in odd numbers. Many Russians believe that an even number of flowers are only for cemeteries. If you give a Russian an even number of flowers, they make take it personally.

In addition to not giving out an even number of flowers, Russian’s also believe you should not wear clothes inside out. If you put your clothes on inside out, the Russians believe you will be beaten.

6. Russia Has One of the World’s Busiest Metros

The metro station in Moscow is the fourth busiest metro station in the world. The only busier metro stations are in Seol, Shanghai, and Tokyo. More than 2 billion people ride the metro each year in Russia.

One of the best things about Russia having a busy metro is that it makes it easier for locals and tourists to get around. There are trains for almost everywhere you could want to go. Read more: 17 Exciting Things to do in Moscow

7. Tetris Was Invented in Russia

Many people don’t know that the game, Tetris, was invented in Russia. In 1984, Alexey Pajitnov developed the first version of Tetris for the Electronika 60 computer. The game quickly caught on and spread throughout Russia. By 1987, the game was released in Europe and North America, and it became one of the most popular computer games in the world.

8. Russians Learn Not to Smile

Another one of the best Russian facts is that Russians learn not to smile while growing up. While smiling in many cultures is a sign of happiness and friendliness, Russians don’t view it that way. To Russians, smiling is a sign of weakness and not showing one’s true feelings. Russians do smile at people they know well and care about, but not at strangers as many other cultures do.

If you smile at a Russian on the street, don’t expect them to return the favor, however, we found that many Russians smiled and waved back while driving in Russia.

9. Russia Is the Largest Country by Land Mass

Based on the total landmass, Russia is the largest country in the world. That is excellent for travelers because that means there is plenty to explore. The total landmass of Russia is 6,601,665 square miles. That is equal to 11% of the world’s total landmass! For comparison, the next biggest country is Canada at 3,855,101 square miles. Read: 72 Funny And Interesting Facts About Canada

10. 54% Of the Russian Population Is Female

There is a big difference between the male and female population in Russia. While females in Russia make up 54% of the population, males only make up 46% Why is there such a big difference in the population? The population gap began during World War II when 25 million Russian soldiers died during the war. While there is no longer a war going on, men still have a much shorter lifespan than women do in Russia.

Many Russians live in rural communities where the way of life is harsh. Russian men often fall victim to hunting accidents, poor health care, and too much vodka. We can attest that there was a lot of Vodka drinking in Russia at all times of the day.

11. Folk Dancing Is a Tradition in Russia

Folk dancing is an important part of Russian history and Russian culture. Khorovod is one of the most common types of Russian folk dancing. This style of dance consists of people dancing in a circle while holding hands.

Russians perform folk dances at festivals, markets, and in the theater. If you get the chance to travel to Russia, be sure to attend a Russian folk dance performance to learn more about the culture and traditions of Russia.

12. 20% Of the Earth’s Trees Are in Russia

If you are someone that loves nature, this is a fact you will enjoy. Around 20% of all the trees in the entire world are in Russia. That ends up being around 640 billion trees.

Many of the trees are in remote areas of Siberia. They are part of wild, untouched forests that are too cold to travel to. These untouched forests are home to the endangered Siberian Tigers.

13. Russia Is Home to the Coldest Village in the World

Because Russia has harsh winter conditions, it is probably no surprise that Russia is home to the coldest village in the world. Winters in Oymyakon, Russia average -58 degrees Fahrenheit. The coldest recorded temperature in Oymyakon is -96 degrees Fahrenheit.

Living in these harsh temperatures comes with its fair share of disadvantages. For example, if someone tries to wear glasses outside, the glasses will freeze on their face. Also, cars have to stay in heated garages or they will not start.

If you want to take a trip to the coldest village in the world, it won’t be easy. To get there, you first have to travel to Yakutsk, and from there, it is a two-day car ride to Oymyakon. If you decide to visit Oymyakon, be sure to pack for winter.

14. Russia Sold Alaska for 7.2 Million Dollars

In 1897, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for only 7.2 million dollars. With inflation, that is around 120 million dollars today. At the time, Russia needed the money, and there weren’t many Russian settlers living in Alaska.

In addition to needing the money, Russia believed that selling the land to the United States would help offset Europe’s power. Check out: The Best Places to Visit in Alaska

15. Russia Has 11 Time Zones

Did you know that Russia is so big that it has 11 different time zones? Even though Russia has 11 time zones, it still isn’t the country with the most time zones. France has the most time zones due to all the small islands that are a part of France. While Russia doesn’t have the most time zones, it still has a lot. If you decide to travel across Russia, you may experience jet lag without even leaving the country!

16. Lake Baikal Has More Water Than Any Other Lake on Earth

Located in Siberia, Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world by water volume. It contains 23% of the world’s freshwater and has more water than all of the Great Lakes in North America combined.

Did You Enjoy These Facts About Russia?

Russia is an amazing place to visit if you love history, culture, and architecture. While Russia isn’t one of the most popular tourist destinations, it is perfect for anyone that wants to get off the beaten path.

★ Race me around Russia!

27 August,2021

Salman-Katrina shoot chase sequence, complete with trams, carriage and metro, in St Petersburg over six days for Tiger 3!

As is true of any Salman Khan offering, there has been enough interest around Tiger 3. But the hype around the spy thriller intensified this week as the leading man’s long-haired and bearded look went viral online. Now, mid-day has found out further details about the Russia schedule. It turns out that among other scenes, Khan and Katrina Kaif shot for a hyper-stylised chase sequence around hotspots of St Petersburg under the watchful gaze of director Maneesh Sharma.

The sequence, filmed over six days, comes at a crucial juncture in the narrative. “In the film, Salman — who plays RAW agent Avinash Singh Rathore — will sport multiple disguises. The chase scene sees him flaunting the long-haired look as he, along with Katrina, chase down one of the baddies around the streets of the city, including opposite St Isaac’s Cathedral,”

says a trade source. The action director has designed the set-piece such that it will offer glimpses of the beautiful city as Khan’s pursuit takes him from one mode of transport to another. “It begins with the actors inside a tram, then a horse-drawn carriage, after which they hop on to a car, and finally reach the underground metro. Since each metro station is uniquely decorated with details about Russia’s past, the makers wanted at least one scene to be set in a station.”While fans from Russia continue to post their selfies with Khan, the superstar headed to Istanbul on Wednesday. “After that, a schedule in Vienna is lined up. Producer Aditya Chopra doesn’t want to spare any expense for the actioner.”

which countries have you visited? and what were your favorite parts of them?

I have been to a lot of countries but not spent that much time in any of them so theres still a ton to see! but here are some things i loved about the places i have visited.

China (Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou) china was sooooo cool. so unlike anything im used to. i could say many nice things but one thing is that they had these insane nightclubs, i have a video somewhere of me sitting on a curb digging silver confetti out of my bra

India (Goa) Definitely one of the most beautiful places i’ve been, all the flowers, trees and greenery were unreal

Egypt (Hurghada, Cairo) ok can i be honest with you guys........ i was probably most starstruck by seeing the pyramid of chephren BECAUSE we had to play this math PC game all the time in 8th grade where you were supposed to break out of the pyramid and when i saw it i was like wow i can’t believe i won the game

USA (San Francisco) i was obsessed with the redwood forests and san francisco really is unapologetically A LOT

Israel (Jerusalem, Bethlehem) i’ve never been somewhere more loaded with energy than Jerusalem. so much culture, religion and history. obviously a lot of that comes form tragedy and conflict but its a town that means a lot to many people and you can really feel that

Finland (Helsinki) i was only in helsinki for a day, but i love the palette of the city if that makes sense. like the colours and the architecture feels very fitting for its geographical location.

Denmark (Copenhagen) i go to copenhagen every year cause its just really easy to go over the day from where my grandparents live. Tivoli (an amusement park) is so magical to me and i just love the atmosphere even if i don’t go on any ride.

United Kingdom (London, Glasgow, Edinburgh) i’m so impressed with british theatre, i’v’e seen a few plays in london and they’ve all been really good. i feel like the culture around going to the theatre is much less elitist than in my country as well.

Iceland (Reykjavik) i think im gonna have to go live in reykjavik at some point. i just felt really at home in iceland. the nature is so beautiful it makes you want to cry this is some fantasy shit.

Germany (Berlin, Cologne) i like in germany how the history is always so present and made a part of the cities identity instead of hiding it away.

France (Paris, Bordeaux) france to me kind of really lives up to what you imagine france to be like. like “here’s a beautiful little town from the 12th century surrounded by winerys”. also had an absurd experience of going to a wine tasting with a class of 17 year olds

Spain (Tarragona) tapas!!!! my friend’s boyfriend who is from the region ordered all the food and showed us what is good which is really helpful when you’re a clueless swedish person (but also omg never getting used to eating dinner at like 10? he’d be like let’s eat and im like.... its bedtime)

Portugal (Lisbon, Sintra) sintra is something taken out of a fairytale! we did like three castles in one day and i loved every single one of them

Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence, Bologna) if you love history, languages, religion and art like i do, italy is a fucking DREAM. you’ll just walk around and like stumble on the colloseum or something. i came upon this closed off ruin with like a million cats running around and i read the sign and it was just like “this is where caesar was murdered”

Russia (St. Petersburg) i was there with my russian class in high school and i fell in love with st petersburg, but especially seeing the winter palace was magical to me. and random but the metro stations are amazing? i vividly remember one with like whole ass chandeliers in it

Greece (a few different islands) i’m just gonna say it... greek people are very hot. also there are some really nice beaches

Turkey (Bodrum) all turkish people i have visited are so generous and loving and make the best food

#sorry this took a while to answer and also got really long #but i realised i had been to many places #and this helped me remember some fond memories from all of these trips!#so thank you #also can you tell i had to google 'map of europe'#Anonymous #answered

I know I’ve said this a million times, but Russia is an absolutely amazing country to visit. If you ever have the opportunity to see it, DO NOT hesitate. Living in Moscow for a little over a year has been one of the most surprisingly fantastic experiences of my life.

I know there are many preconceived notions about what Moscow, Russia is like, though, especially as an American.…I had many of them before I moved there. So, hopefully, this post will shed a little light on what to expect, should you ever decide to visit Moscow!

(Note: These are not in any particular order, just a list of what surprised me!)

12 Things That Surprised Me About Moscow, Russia (As an American)

1.) How safe it is in Moscow. As an American, I had this image in my head of Moscow being one of the most dangerous cities in the world…where an American would be in mortal danger at all times if they were visiting. I could not have been more wrong. Moscow is one of the safest cities I have ever been to.

Sure, if you’re in politics or organized crime, then perhaps Moscow isn’t the safest city. But as an average tourist visiting – you are likely safer here than you are at home. (I’m from a small city in Wisconsin, and honestly felt safer walking alone in Moscow at night than I do back home.)

This was always something that family and friends remarked about as well when visiting. They couldn’t get over how safe the city is.

That being said, Moscow is still a big city. Exercise caution as you would anywhere else – don’t be a complete idiot. Be aware of your surroundings and your belongings. Keep your eyes open for pickpockets, especially in busy tourist areas.

2.) Russians’ perspective of Americans being in their country. For the most part, everyone’s attitude in Moscow that I’ve encountered over this last year has been of genuine curiosity – “What brings you to Moscow as an American? How do you like it here? What do you think of the cold?”

As an American, I had this preconceived notion that Muscovites wouldn’t like me being here. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everyone has been very kind and not a single person ever voiced a prejudice about Americans. (And from what I’ve come to gather, most Russians are not the sort to hold their opinions back in order to be polite.)

3.) How nice the vast majority of Muscovites are. Moscow is a very large city, and I didn’t meet every single person living here. However, again, I had this idea that all Russians would be rather cold or rude to me. This, again, couldn’t have been further from the truth.

In Russian culture, it’s not normal to smile much, especially at strangers. So, I can see how Russian people may come off as unfriendly to a foreigner. However, once you talk to most people here, they are very friendly!

Inside the Kremlin. Putin works on the 3rd floor of this building, I was told .

4.) The average Russian in Moscow did not care about my American politics that much (or at least, it does not come up in conversation as frequently as I thought it would). I had lived in Australia for the previous US presidential election, and it was literally the only thing most people wanted to talk to me about. (I started replying I was Canadian when I asked where I was from, to avoid having that conversation over and over again.)

I also lived in Argentina for a year after that, and most people could not wait to chat with me about Trump and the current American political climate (all just out of curiosity – not malice).

However, I have had it come up only a handful of times in conversation while in Russia. Sure, there are always some grumbles about Putin, but no one is going out of their way to hear my thoughts on America’s current political situation. (I’m assuming this is because Russians are also just as sick of having to talk about their thoughts on Putin…)

5.) How English-friendly Moscow is. This is a fairly recent change, though. I had arrived in Moscow just weeks after they had hosted the World Cup. Most signs and menus were translated because of this. Many of the younger generations of Muscovites also know basic English.

Knowing a handful of words in Russian is useful in order to be polite. However, you’ll be just fine with only know English if you visit Moscow (or St. Petersburg for that matter).

6.) How beautiful and colorful Moscow is – even the metro! As an American, we only ever think of the drab and grey apartment buildings built during the Stalin era. However, even the architecture built during that time was beautiful in its own right. Plus, the multitude of gold-domed and colorful Orthodox cathedrals look straight out of a fairytale. And have you seen the metro in Moscow?! Some of the stations resemble art museums!

Inside the Moscow metro.

7.) How quiet it is – even in the metro! Now, Moscow isn’t as quiet as Tokyo is. It is, however, not too far behind! Most people are not overly loud or talking on cellphones while on public transport. Sure, if a large group of people is walking down the street, they’ll likely be chattering amongst themself. But overall, this city is rather quiet for its large population. Not many people will be honking their horns either. (Unless it’s rush hour… then it might get a little loud on busy roads.)

8.) How clean Moscow is. Being from the US, I’m always picturing New York or Chicago or San Francisco when I think of large cities. These are cities not exactly known for their cleanliness (especially when it comes to public transport). So, the fact that there is hardly any litter on the streets of Moscow, and I don’t want to burn my clothes and bathe in bleach after using the metro… never failed to surprise me!

9.) The fashion in Moscow. I mean, I was always aware that Moscow is a very fashion-forward city. However, I was still surprised by how nicely dressed the vast majority of Russian women are. Classy and timeless is the best way to describe the style of Moscow women – I loved it! (Most women would wear dresses and fantastic shoes and fur coats.)

10.) The amount of wealth in Moscow. Moscow is always in the top 10 lists of cities for “where billionaires live.” I couldn’t get over the number of Maseratis and Bentleys you could see on the road at any given time. Or just how packed the Chanel stores would be… We tend to not think of this, though, when we think of Moscow. (And for good reason… this wealth isn’t exactly evenly distributed.)

11.) How difficult it is to get a visa to Russia as an American. Even if you only want a tourist visa to visit Moscow, as an American, this is going to be a painful process. We’ve gone through rigorous visa processes in the past with our previous international moves… but Russia takes the cake as the most difficult one we’ve experienced. You also need an “invitation letter” to apply for your visa – which is a new one for me too! (Click here for more on that.)

12.) That Lenin’s body is on display in Red Square. Soviet leader Vladimir Ilych Lenin’s embalmed body can be visited inside Lenin’s Mausoleum, also known as Lenin’s Tomb. His preserved body has been on public display there since shortly after his death in 1924. It’s weird and rather surprising to see, to say the least. He looks more like a wax figurine nowadays.

Now, I’m curious which, of these things surprised you the most about Moscow? Let me know in the comments!

Tours of St Petersburg - Must-Do Activities on a Trip to St Petersburg Russia

Boat trip through the canals

Have a small boat through the canals - they are available in several places such as for instance close to the Winter Palace and along Nevsky Prospect. You are able to either take a boat a trip during the day or at night.

Through the day you will see the features of the buildings a little better and get a feeling of the sweetness of the architecture in st Petersburg tours. If you'll need a romantic time together with your mate, I'd recommend the night cruise. You are able to still see all of the famous buildings and the lights of the town really make the full time slip away making for a memorable occasion.

Climb the colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral

St.Isaac's cathedral contains the next largest cupola in the world. Its a harrowing climb to the most truly effective but well worth the beautiful views of tours in St Petersburg that may be had up there. The cathedral itself is beautiful but the views from the most truly effective are spectacular as well.

Go shopping

Russian souvenirs are recognized around the globe due to their uniqueness and make a great gift. Matryoshka dolls or nesting dolls are available in all different styles - the iconic beautiful Russian woman, political leaders, sports stars - whatever your interest you are able to probably find a matryoshka to reflect your personality. Also among the popular gift items is Russian caviar which established the fact for its quality (and sometimes its price - be mindful and look around a bit). Another item that's widespread is cheap DVDs and Software - though technically not legal and the Russian government has been cracking down on this lately it can be found.

Visit Peterhof and ride the Hydrofoil

Near the Winter Palace, you'll find strange looking boats that seem to glide on the surface of the water - there the hydrofoils that can take you to 1 of the most beautiful places in St.Petersburg - Peterhof. The fountains of Peterhof are popular due to their extravagance and beauty - this is a place you definitely must see.

Russian banya

Russia is a cool area for the most part and during the winter it is particularly important to keep warm. Taking items to the extreme generally is in the Russian blood in this case - the Russia banya is just a sauna where they prefer really, really hot temperatures and being beaten with birch tree branches followed up by jumping into extremely cold water. That one isn't for the faint of heart but afterwards, you are feeling spectacular.

St Petersburg Metro

There is not a better place to acquire a feel for what life is much like for many people that live here if you take a ride in the metro. The fares are pretty cheap and the stations often contain beautiful artwork and sculptures. You will find 5 lines now and you may get almost anywhere in the town efficiently and quickly.

Russian food

Russian food is filled up with tradition and flavor. Russian pirogi or pies are very tasty and come with a variety of fillings - meat, potatoes, fruits, etc. Russian blini or pancakes are the best kind of Russian junk food you'll find with similar fillings to the pies but blini with Russian caviar is exquisite. Russian ice cream is popular year-round, even during the winter you will discover Russians eating ice cream on the street - it is just that tasty. Pelmeni is Russian style dumplings filled up with meat and best eaten with sour cream.
