RUSSIA is not as scary as what almost everyone makes it to be!
I have been in Russia for a week and I have not felt I'm in danger at any point! In fact, people have been pretty friendly and nice! I lost my way this morning while looking for the hostel, first I met a guy who could speak English and he directed me the way. Then I got lost again, approached 2 young girls, they didn't know the way, but they came back to me, and asked me to wait a minute and they checked it on their mobile! While walking to the destination, I approached a guy (with a child) and he took out his mobile, confirmed the location, and directed me to the hostel!
russia is actually a lot safer than malaysia.
How are the flies on Olkhon??
