What must I not do when traveling to Russia?

Things you must not do when traveling to Russia are as follows: 1. Don't buy works of art in Russia casually, especially oil paintings.

Russia is a big art country, and many people will be infected by Russian artistic atmosphere when traveling to Russia, so it is likely that they will buy some works of art, including oil paintings, now. Although it was easy to buy at that time, and it may have cost a lot of money, it may be more troublesome if you wait until you go through customs. Because the customs will ask the parties to issue a certificate about the oil painting, they must first prove that they are the writer of this oil painting, which is very troublesome in short.

So don't make trouble for yourself when you travel to Russia. It's easy to buy, but it may be difficult to take it away. Russian customs has the duty to protect domestic artworks, so it is not easy to take the purchased oil paintings out of the country. Therefore, since you travel, don't think about art any more. It is most important to enjoy the journey. Second, you can't ask for services without tipping in Russia

Although there is no tipping culture in China, it is different in Russia. If you ask for services from others, you will be discriminated against for not tipping, because Russian waiters, tour guides and drivers all depend on tipping. Therefore, as long as someone provides a service, you must give a tip, and the tip ratio of high-end restaurants will generally be directly marked. If it is not marked, you can give a tip according to your mood. Third, don't drink tap water directly

Russian water is not direct drinking water, so it's better to buy mineral water yourself if you want to drink water, and Russians don't drink hot water. If you need to drink hot water, you'd better bring your own kettle. Now, there are some portable hot water kettles, and even in hotels, you can use your own kettle to drink water, which is safer and healthier, and Russian hotels will not provide drinking water.
