In the beginning of this month, I have been on holiday in Russia: Moscow and Saint Petersburg. I have just returned home.
I have never been there before, and though I have heard it should be a beautiful country, I was surprised on how fantastic those two cities really are.
There has almost always been – and still are – some political issues. But it is hard to find a country, where this isn’t the case.
Everywhere I went, I met very nice and helpful people.
