My Russian Experience
1. They only shower on sundays for 2 hours, if they showered everyday they couldn't shower as long..
2. Deodorant isn't as hard to find as I thought but people don't use it as much as they should.
3. They have amazing winter coats that are all fur. One day I will own one.
4. The doors on the apartments have at least 4 bolts, so you have to turn the key 4 times
5. Paying to use the bathroom
6. Washers are very small, and no dryers.
7. I learned how privileged I am
8.squatting toilets, trust me you never want to be apart of these9. recycled toilet paper, k this sounds gross but its just like that newspaper color
11. Russians believe Everything will get you sick12. They are obsessed with cats
14. Their history is very deep, and they take high pride in their nationality.
16. Military men are attractive, but seeing their boys everyday made me miss american men.
17. Making Hideous faces has become my specialty 
18. One of my favorite things was how International the country is.
19. Dancing Bachata in a Latin Club with Russians, Africans, and Dominicans will be one of my favorite memories with my wing girls Sheala and Tristan
20. One word Prospekt 2.
21. I will miss my adorable Kids, especially level 1, look at those cute russian faces.
22. There are so many stray dogs, we all wanted to take this beauty home with us. Nikora.
23. If there is one thing I learned it was that you can meet amazing people anywhere in the world, and I definitely did.
Thank you Russia:)
I love hearing all about your experience! I love how you identified with the people, culture, and recognized the great strengths and good in people of Russia.
ReplyDeleteIt is cool how going to a foreign place can help you understand yourself better. I can see that not only do you value the people and experiences in Russia, but also that it gave you a greater appreciation of your opportunities, country and family! I hope you get to go another place again soon!
