RUSSIA:
Although money can be an issue, and going to distant places can be a broken dream before you start dreaming, I would anyway love to visit Russia. Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colourful country.
Russia has an incredible population, they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but I don't worry over it! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact, its geography is composed of more than 17 million square kilometres!
This huge land is the home of one of the most multi-ethnic nations in the world, and it is considered to be the world’s most diverse society – there are as many as 160 ethnic groups living there, i.e. 160 ways of viewing life, Asian people, Europeans, people from the arctic, etc!, and just the thought of all the traditions, costumes, and folklore they have, makes me crave for visiting ASAP!
Another of the reasons I would like to see Russia, it's its multi-lingualism, I mean, being honest; with that amount of square kilometres and ethnicities, you could not expect any less.
There are more than 100 tongues spoken in all the country, and even though Russian is the official language, one can always learn a word or two in an incomprehensible, new-for-us language! furthermore, I find particularly interesting the fact that when writing, the Russians use the Cyrillic Alphabet, and simply, no-one can say it is not a whole world to discover.
Apart from the above mentioned, I have a real interest in taking a tour around the geography, and have a good time travelling Asia and Europe, but even more, I would just love to take a culinary tour, can you imagine the amount of strange dishes one can find among all those ethnicities?
So far, I have had the chance of eating a couple of traditional Russian dishes, they have both been very stimulating and a bit unknown for me, and since I have loved them, I am looking forward to eating them again in situ, and also, have a bite of everything I can, and I am sure that when money gets to be a friend, I will be sending you postcards from there.
See you in Russia!!!

How interesting is Russia, teacher! I hope that someday you can visit that country and eat again the traditional russian food. I would like to taste that dishes too!
ResponderEliminarHello teacher, I would also love to visit Russia. But there are three destinations in particular, St. Petersburg (in winter preferably), Moscow and the Trans-Siberian railway.

ResponderEliminarHello teacher. The cultural and geographic data of Russia are incredible. Some of the aspects I did not know it and are very amazing. Should be entertained visit Russia but the cold weather makes me think about it.
ResponderEliminarHello Teacher, I had never been struck by traveling to Russia, I considered it ugly and cold. However, from the way he described it, it sounds very interesting, I did not know those data, I already want to travel!

ResponderEliminarWhat a good choice professor, Russia seems a wonderful country for all the richness in diversity that you have mentioned, however, I think it is contradictory that it is a not very tolerant and discriminatory society with the LGBTIQ+ community being such a diverse country.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher, I would also like to visit Rusia! It always seemed so interesting and beautiful to me.

ResponderEliminarHi teacher, I to be completely honest, I would like to visit Rusia but most especially their forests. I believe that it are mysterious and incredibles to explore.
ResponderEliminarWooow Russia seems so interesting from your point of view. I only know a part of it due to some shows or movies (like Skins), but to me, it looks like a gorgeous country. Honestly I have never thought of going, but I am aware that the culture is very spectacular, and obviously stands out from the other countries.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher! Russia is a dream destination, especially Moscow because this city has a very great history. It's really exciting to step on and be in places that are historical for humanity. Also, I think that in Russia there are many culture because it is a very large country.

I consider that it is a country with too much history and culture, it also has a beautiful architecture.
I hope that one day you can meet the Russian homeland!
Hi teacher! I think that the idea of go to Russia it’s not impossible, if you really want to go you have to, so you should to start saving! Good luck!
ResponderEliminarTo be honest, I think I would be scared to visit such a large country with so much linguistic variety. Just thinking about going there makes me explode with anxiety.
ResponderEliminarHi, teacher. I think Russia is a very insteresting place. In Tik Tok apears me diferents video of russian people eating food from there country. I think it's fun know what are the favorites flavors in others countrys. But I can not ignore the censure that people in russia lives, is it that intense?
ResponderEliminarHi! wow I didn't know all the things you tell. I would definitely like to know some people from there to know a bit more about the culture.

ResponderEliminarHonestly, i had not realized Russia is so interesting. I really hope you can visit it one day.
ResponderEliminarI learnt some of these things about Russia because of the 2018 World Cup and I fell in love with the country too! The multiculturalism is so interesting and I think is one of the things that make Russia one of the most important places of the world.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher, wow Russia is soo far away i can't imagine how many hours of flight that could take. And being away from all your known people, i mean for me it's scary lol But if it's worth it, i would do it.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher, I´m very sorprise about what you wrote about Russia. I didn´t know that it´s a country with such of diversity of cultures.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher! I'd also love to go to Russia. I've always been really interested in their political history, and also in their film industry, wich is my profession. I've never taken the iniciative to learn their lenguage because i haven't had the time, but I think it's really beautiful and i would love to do it someday.
ResponderEliminarSounds great! But I don't think I can handle the cold, I'm a person who prefers warm climates. I hope you can go soon!
ResponderEliminarSocially, Russia is a country that draws my attention, for the same reason I would very much like to visit it and be able to know how its culture and society in general is shaped
ResponderEliminarHi teacher! I had no idea about the different cultures that exist in Russia !!! However, it is not an ideal holiday destination for me because of its climate, especially in winter):
ResponderEliminarHi teacher, I didn't know all those curious facts about Russia, now it seems to me an extremely attractive country! I hope someday I can visit it 😊.

ResponderEliminarHi Teacher! I love russian culture. I think that all the slavic countries, including Russia, are really great destinations to travel. Hope you can go soon! Is a fabulous country!
ResponderEliminarIt´s really interesting how you pay attention to many details at describing (mother) Russia. It´s a vast place to travel (you can use the famous trans-siberian) where you can pick your favorite kind of tourism (doesn´t matter if you prefere nature or cities, you can have both). Thnx for the blogg and for the example, see you in the Lenin Museum.
ResponderEliminarHello professor, how interesting the image of indigenous people, they have a great resemblance to the indigenous people of the north of this country, I wonder if they have things in common such as religion
ResponderEliminarHello professor, I think Russia is an amazing country (but it is very cold in winter) I love the culture, and i have heard that the food is quite good.
ResponderEliminarI find it very interesting what you tell us about russia in the post, there were some things that I didn't know and with this it has called my attention much more to this country!

ResponderEliminarHi teacher! I would also like to visit Russia. I'm really interested in their beautiful architecture. I also heard that there is a train called Transhiberiano that travaels all around Russia, and even gets to other countryes like China and Korea!
ResponderEliminarI think I would be fascinated to know the experience of the revolution from the history of the places and people themselves, although I think there are not many people alive from that time, I am interested in knowing the vision that exists today.
