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 144.4 million people according to 2023 statistics. 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 ammount of square kilometres and ethnicities, you could not expect any less.
There are over 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 Cyrilic 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 number of unknown 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.
See you in Russia!!!

Before reading the post, I didn't know that Russia is a fantastic country.
ResponderEliminarKnew that Russia have an enormous size (really huge), but I didn't know that this land has so many ethnic groups and cultures. I guess the country's gastronomy is very diverse and must be exquisite (in agreement with your post).
Thanks for writing about this territory.
Russia is really amazing!
I didn´t thought in Russia as a country i would like to visit, but i think it´s on my list now! Thank you for that.
ResponderEliminarI never thought of visiting Rusia, and I didn´t even knew the relation between low density and the population, for some reason I thought it was like China, with a lots of people everywhere. Thank for your post!
ResponderEliminarRussia has always intrigued me, but I'm ignorant of their culture. Besides, the great history of that country seems to me to be the most interesting reason to visit. I really hope to travel to Moscow one day and look around the rest of the nation.
ResponderEliminarTo be honest, I had never thought of going to Russia because of the language barrier and I didn't know about the multi-lingualism, so now I can consider it a little bit more to even dream about it. I know it's a such a big and beautiful country, so hopefully, everyone can go there someday
ResponderEliminarI think russia it's a very beautiful country, but i have never thought to go there really, it scares me a little to not know how to read anything, and the weather it's kind of extreme, i don't know if i can take that cold.
ResponderEliminarI am surprised, I didn't know anything about Russia. I like that it is so diverse. It made me want to go.
ResponderEliminarThe idea of going to Russia convinces me, but I don't know what happens there with the war and that scares me.
ResponderEliminarRussia had never caught my attention, but I think it has interesting things.
ResponderEliminarThe way that you talk about Russia almost convinces me to travel there, but i think that they live in the last century in terms of mentality, so, just for visit it, it's fine for me.

ResponderEliminarPersonally, I've never thought about of visiting Russia, but that multi-ethnic point of view is quite interesting, you can discover a lot of life changing stories and other things from people, alongside all or the historical monuments that the country has, makes it even more exiciting to go!
ResponderEliminarIt sounds really interesting the cultural history of a country as big as Russia, the idea of going to visit it seems interesting to me, although the language would scare me a lot, however I would really enjoy the landscapes and the gastronomy that you mention.
ResponderEliminarRegarding the fact that in Russia more than 100 languages are spoken, the second most spoken is Tatar due to it becoming the official language of the Russian Federal Soviet Socialist Republic in 1917 within the Soviet Union, or German, which is the third most spoken. I love their culture.
ResponderEliminarVery interesting country to visit, I didn't know that Russia have so many languages. New country on my list.
ResponderEliminarI never thought in visit Russia, because what comes to my mind is that l’m gonna freeze to die hahaha, but i can give it a chance, leave my fears behind and got some proper warm clothes, when you talked about the food, you got me, I’m in! :)
ResponderEliminarI didn't know about the amount of diversity of ethnic groups, but i think it makes sense considering how big is the country.
ResponderEliminarVery helpful, thank you!
Russia sounds like an interesting country, but I've always been hesitant to travel to a place that doesn't speak English or a language derived from Latin.
ResponderEliminarI've always considered Russia as a cold and distant country, but reading this made me change my mind a bit!
ResponderEliminarI think Russia is a country with very beautiful landascape and more if it has a great cultural diversity, I`d like to visit to go to Russia one day.
ResponderEliminarWow! that's really amazing, i knew that Russia was veeery big and beautiful, but didn't knew that there was so many people! I really would like to taste some traditional dishes
ResponderEliminarOnce time i read about Rusia before 1917, in the zarist epoch and almost two chapters were about the huge territory that it involve. This seem me impresiv, how many paisajes, how many culture.
ResponderEliminarSounds so fun!!! I think the food is very different there, it would be interesting to try some dishes.
ResponderEliminarI am amazed at the number of people living in Russia and the different cultures, I knew it was big but I didn't think it was that big.
ResponderEliminarI didn’t know so many facts about Russia! I feel that it's a very unfamiliar country to me. I never really thought about visiting because I don't know anyone who has been there. Nevertheless, I would really like to visit someday and try their typical dishes.
ResponderEliminarEven with everything you just told us from Russia, I'm still not interested on visiting that country, mainly because I cannot pass the fact that they are way too sexist and that is not allowed for people to have different sexual preferences.
ResponderEliminarI am also very interested in gastronomy because it is also a way to know the history of these countries.
ResponderEliminarWow, it sound very interesting: just thinking about the many languages makes me want to visit.
ResponderEliminarI didn’t know that Russia is one of the most multi-ethnic nations in the world. That's very interesting! But I guess I couldn't stand that cold weather.
ResponderEliminarIn the present It must be hard have tickets to Russia, even be totally sure to go because the armed conflicts that the country is experiencing. I hope the conflicts calm down and you can visit this beautiful country soon!
ResponderEliminarWell, after reading this, Russia sounds like an interesting destination! I would even consider visiting it one day, although I'm not a huge fan of cold countries
ResponderEliminarRussia seems a very intresting country to visit, mainly because of the extreme variety of culture, languages and very beautiful places to visit. Personally I love the cold weather, and Russia is cold as well so I'd like to go there in the future.
ResponderEliminarI think it is a very nice place to visit, especially because of how colorful it is. I hope that when you go you find good weather!
ResponderEliminarRussia seems like a very interesting, almost mysterious country to me. I hope you can travel someday.
ResponderEliminarRussia didn't catch my attention until I saw this post... it must be a very rich country in culture with so many ethnicities :O
ResponderEliminarI don't had idea of all this things about Russia. Now I'm so interested in visit it too!
ResponderEliminarI didn't know anything about Russia, the post is very interesting. Another possible destination to add to my list.

ResponderEliminarRussia was already a place I wanted to visit someday, but I didn't know about the number of ethnic groups, it's definitely on my list of places I want to visit the most
ResponderEliminarRussia seems to me a very interesting country, although I would only go for a short time, because I don't like the cold very much.
ResponderEliminarRussia is a very interesting country, I would love to know it too. Their culture seems very striking to me.
ResponderEliminarI didn't know that there are over 100 tongues spoken in all the country, that's awesome!
ResponderEliminarIn that country there must be a lot of exotic food that we don't know about!
ResponderEliminar
ResponderEliminarI think Russia is a very underrated country. A lot of people live there and that's amazing. So many people coming from different places and in one place is very interesting.:0
I didn't know how diverse Russia is. I would like to visit St. Basil's Cathedral sometime.
ResponderEliminarI knew that Russia was a beautiful country, but I never imagine that is. I would visit there sometime.
ResponderEliminarAlthough that I´ll like to visit Russia, I wouldnt like to being on a plane for so long.
