Unfortunately, the news generally shows the bad things happening, not the good things.
Don't believe the picture the media is painting, Russia is a great place, and no more unsafe than America for example.
Go there with all haste!
Yeah, just make sure not to invest in anything while you're there.
hey, Neko, you didn`t study Japanese by any chance? We have such lounge here... :wink:
Beware of bears roaming the streets - that's the primary danger here in Russia. :lol:
Yes, they shadow your step everywhere waiting for a chance to play balalaika.
По-моему, не помогает ни в чем чрезмерно волноваться про такие вещи, потому что во всех странах есть возможность, что ты тем или иным образом погибнешь. Машина тебя раздавит скорее, чем скинхеды тебя избьют насмерть или террористы тебя взорвут. Во всяком случае, надо обращать внимание на многие факторы. С кем и где ты будешь? Откуда ты и какой у тебя внешний вид? Что ты располагаешь делать в России?

A comment from there. :) So if you're black, consider staying home instead.Quote:
Comment (received 18/08/02): "Hey, I am Russian, lived ion Moscow my whole life and the thing you posted about racism is pure bullshit. Russians ARE racist. Moscow is a great place, but it is one of the worst places in the world to be black or anything other then white. If you are white, people will treat you like equal. If you are not, militia will give you shit all the time, people wouldn't be too friendly with you and if you are really unlucky a buncha skinheads will beat the crap outta you. A black American embassy consul was attacked by skinheads two yeas ago. So come as long as you are white."

Some people are just too modest or lazy to post. But they can read every other people's post very carefully. :lol:Quote:
