A semester in Russia: are you ready for it? Part 1

A semester in Russia: are you ready for it? Part 1

I prepared a short a list to help others who struggle (or will struggle) with the decision to go
abroad for a semester to St. Petersburg. Updates will follow every month!

Consider that...
... it is only based on my personal opinion. At the end it is one's own piece of cake! :)

Go if ...
+ ... you study Russian language and you try hard to improve!
+ ... you have already a lot of travel experience so you know how to survive in other countries!
+ ... you like buckwheat!


Don't go if ...
- ... you think that Cyrillic letters are the same as Greek and if you think that Ukrainians and          Russians speak the same language!
- ... you are not ready yet for an adventure that is mind blowing! 
       (especially for central Europeans)
- ... you are addicted to European cheese! (There is not any since sanctions are in place)


Another big "+" ...

... is this wonderful Borsch soup!
