Have fun!

It's Russia, I've wanted to go nearly as long as I can remember, so I am confident I will have a great time

Heeeee, enjoy yourself Orenthes-bud! Eat lots of delicious food! ^^u^^

We are eating:

-Georgian food (lots of dairy, wine, and beef and lamb). Georgia is a land of milk and honey with extremely fertile soil, so the food is very rich. Also, for folks who like wine, it has some of the oldest vineyards in the history of the species.

-Azeri food (Lots of influence from Middle Eastern culinary traditions, particularly those of Turkey and Iran, along with Russian cooking), if you like kebabs, you'd like Azeri cooking.

-Uzbek (Central Asian, so lots of lamb and rice and good bread and tea). Lamb and rice are so simple that nearly everyone should love them!

Oh, and of course, Russian food, which means lots of tea!

Is it your first trip?

To Russia? Yes, I've wanted this for a long time.

Ah, have great fun then!

Have you been? If so, I am so jealous!

No no, goodness no. I've been to Portugal, Bulgaria and Finland, but not Russia.

Portugal!! Jealous! A trip to both Spain and Portugal would be an awesome vacation!

Plus I do really love the Balkans so I'd love to do like Bulgaria & Serbia together.

I was way too young to remember my trip to Portugal sadly...I was just a little hatchling then. .w.

I have heard well of it.

I have tried a Brazilian-style feijoada, and now I want to try a Portuguese one.

I'm sure you'll get the chance.~

For my part, I would highly recommend Cape Town~

Have a safe trip! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun over there ^_^

You bet man!

Have fun

I was hiding in your pocket all the time! *dun dun duuuuuunn*

Good day to you! From Moskva

Greetings, everyone, from Moscow.

Have fun, man! Take lots of pictures

It's day one and I'm already loading up!

Cool! Enjoying yourself?

Went to the Hermitage and even encountered an image of the man in my FA avatar today!

Awesome

I hope to go some day, always wanted to myself, so much to see and get pics of. I so hope you enjoy and definitely share your adventure and pics, with us. :3

I am planning on keeping a semi-rough journal to provide a decent account of things in Russia. I am really loving Saint-Petersburg so far: we had a river tour of the city followed by a *lavish* Georgian meal at a local restaurant (including some utterly amazing shashlyk, a Russian version of kebab) and then a little Dostoyevsky-themed tour of some local neighborhoods.
