Two days in Russia

Hi!

Mainly speaking it's a question to foreigners, nevertheless Russian speakers opinions are welcome too... As usual ;-)

Suppose you'll have a trip to Russia somewhere. I am interesting what places will you like to visit, what goods will you like to buy. Maybe you'll wanna get something back to your country.

What do you like in Russia?

I am very glad to write to you all again :-)))

Bye!

Suppose you are going to Russia. I am interested in what places you would like to visit, what goods (/things) you would like to buy. Maybe (/perhaps) you would like to take something (back) home with you?

What (things) do you like in Russia? /
or, "What do you like about Russia?"

It's a pleasure writing to you again :-)))

My picture is of Alla Pugacheva. You should know who she is if you are actually Russian. Yes, I have a potato fetish.

I'm not sure where I would like to go. But Id like to be able to stay with a family and see everyday life as it is lived, rather than stay in a hotel and go to all the tourist places. Id buy the same kind of goods the family would buy to contribute and the most important things Id take back are photographs and my journal. But I would probably also take home similar presents to the ones I would buy the family as a thank you with perhaps one 'traditional' object for myself.

I am planning a trip to Russia. I will start in Moscow. I intend to visit at least Kolomenskoe and the Tretyakov Gallery, some churches. I suppose the Kremlin maybe, but I've seen it once before. Walk around the old part of town, maybe visit the Arbat and Izmailovo. Go to a ballet, but I am not sure I have enough money for that. Would like to take a day trip to maybe Tver.

Then take the train up to SP. There I want to see the Hermitage and the summer palace in Pushkino. Maybe Peterhof. St Isaac's and Church of the Spilt Blood, never been inside it. Want to take a boat ride on the canals. Mariinski opera or ballet. Walk down Nevsky. Watch the bridges go up for the night. Would like to see Varlaam or Kizhi, but they may be too far away.

Not really much in Russia that I'd like to bring home other than books. Maybe some music. Will definitely take pix and keep a journal.
