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 folclore 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 ammount 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!!!
