If you want to travel abroad, what should you pay special attention to if you go to Russia?

When traveling to Russia for the first time, you need to learn some simple Russian to facilitate communication when ordering food or asking for directions. Especially when staying in a hotel at night, you should pay attention to it. No matter how people outside knock on the door, you can't open the door, lest someone outside pose a threat to your safety. Details are as follows.

1: Russia is not suitable for traveling alone.

Many of our friends like to travel in China alone, which will let us experience different cities and different styles.

However, when traveling in Russia, I don't recommend that a person choose to act alone. Traveling abroad or doing business is a very troublesome thing. We are not familiar with the local environment.

The street information in Russia is obviously different from that in China, so it can save us a lot of time to find a friend or tour guide who has lived there for a while.

2. Learn some simple Russian.

Nowadays, due to the popularity of the Internet and the development of science, all kinds of translation software have been popularized. Many times, we only need a small software to understand various languages.

However, when traveling outside, we will always encounter various accidents, and some commonly used Russian will be used in emergencies, which provides us with necessary help.

Don't open the door at night.

When staying in a hotel in China, because our domestic environment is safe and comfortable, there are special security personnel inside the hotel, so we need to bring food or hotel service personnel in the hotel.

Hotels in China will basically not be disturbed, but hotel accommodation in strange cities in Russia may be disturbed by some strangers at night.

When we are awakened, we must be vigilant and see who is at the door through the cat's eye. When we are hotel service personnel, we can open the door and ask.

If you are a stranger, don't open the door at will, especially some young and beautiful Russian girls. Be careful.

The reason is that there will be many call girls controlled by gangs in Russia, and these call girls will go to hotels where foreign tourists stay at night to attract customers.

And if you open the door at will, you may be threatened by the gang behind the girl. The lighter may lose some money, and the heavier may be dangerous.

4. Learn some Cyrillic letters.

Russia is a foreign territory, and every one of us who travels or works abroad always thinks that we can travel all over the world by learning an English language.

But in fact, English is not everything. Sometimes, when we arrive at our destination, we must learn some of the most widely used local languages in moderation.

Cyrillic alphabet is the most commonly used Russian alphabet in Russia. Learning some letter series can help us find our goals better and avoid being unable to find a familiar road because of unfamiliar road conditions.

5. Apply for a bank card or credit card in advance.

Just as we are used to online payment in China, as long as we have a mobile phone, we can play anywhere in China without worrying about money!

But unfortunately, if you go to Russia, you need to apply for a bank card or credit card that can be used locally in Russia.

At present, Russia is gradually transitioning from cash to credit cards, and all stores in Russia generally accept credit cards or bank cards.

When we receive the credit card or bank card we carry with us, we can solve the problem of insufficient cash when necessary, and when we want to exchange cash locally, it may also be affected by the exchange rate, but we are not sure how much we can exchange!

6. Don't go anywhere near abandoned huts in the forest.

Russia is a country with a vast territory and a sparse population. Russia is full of all kinds of forests, and there are many uninhabited huts in the forests.

From the appearance, in a lush forest, a wooden hut stands there, which makes people feel beautiful and can't help but want to explore.

But the fact is, if we meet empty huts on our deathbed, we must be careful not to get too close, because these huts may be abandoned places.

If a hut is not maintained and repaired in the forest, the wooden materials used to build it will be corroded for a long time. Although there is nothing unusual in appearance, it may collapse as soon as it enters!

7. Russia's face is cold and its heart is hot.

I don't know when it started, we often hear that Russians are unfriendly and indifferent to others, but in fact Russians are very hospitable and enthusiastic.

Although there may be language barriers between us, the Russians will try their best to meet our requirements and make us feel at home.

8. In Russia, you can't wear a coat to enter public places.

Because of the cold weather in Russia, we often wear thick clothes in winter, but it should be noted that in any foreign restaurant or museum in Russia.

These places are not allowed to wear coats. If you enter in a coat, they will think it is impolite. In these public places in Russia, there will be free coat racks.

When we want to enter in our coats, the local staff will tell us to take off our coats and then let us put them on the hangers.

9. Don't use gestures casually in Russia.

When we communicate with friends in China, we often use various gestures. For example, if a friend tells you something, we will compare ok gestures.

This kind of behavior is considered as an interesting and friendly thing in China, but please don't do it in Russian.

The reason is that this is a good meaning at home, but it may be an antonym abroad, and the customs of each country are different. If you are not familiar with local cultural customs, try not to use domestic behavior habits to prevent misunderstanding from causing unnecessary trouble.

10: Russians don't just drink vodka.

We often see that Russians are often drunk in some domestic videos. When we watch more videos like this, we will mistakenly think that Russians only like vodka!

In fact, this kind of behavior is wrong. Vodka is not the only thing in Russia. On the contrary, Russia also has sparkling wine and whisky.

At present, the Russian craft beer market is growing. In Moscow, the Russian capital, the most popular is the local craft beer.

1 1: tap water in Russia is not recommended for drinking.

Compared with domestic clean tap water, Russian tap water is limited by geographical environment and industrial technology.

Russian tap water can't be drunk directly, and it tastes bad after boiling. You need to filter or purify water to use it.

When I first came to Russia, when I opened the tap water pipe, I saw a brown liquid flowing out, which would taste like rust if I drank it.

12: Russian WiFi is not available.

There are wireless networks everywhere in China. We can easily connect to the world of networks through wireless WiFi, and then swim on various video and network platforms.

However, although wireless networks have become very popular, in Russia, wireless networks need Russian telephone numbers to log in. If we don't have a Russian phone number, the wireless network can't be used.

Although I want to surf the Internet when traveling to Russia, I need to buy a cheap Russian SIM card in advance, otherwise I can only use free WiFi on the subway train in Moscow!

13: Watch out for thieves

Although the environment in Russia is relatively safe, there will always be petty theft anywhere, and the most rampant places for Russian thieves are subway squares and crowded places.

When staying in these places, be sure to take care of your wallet, especially any stranger nearby, because losing your wallet and passport will bring great trouble.

14: Don't buy goods during major holidays in Russia.

Compared with our good habit of discounting domestic products as long as we have a holiday, Russian goods will increase in price before the holiday!

Especially in Russia, between 65438+February 3 1 and 65438+1October 7, these days are Russian New Year and Christmas, because many people will choose to travel and shop in Moscow.

Therefore, at this time, all consumer prices in local cities will rise sharply. In addition, prices will also rise on the local victory day on May 9.

15: carry the European standard plug with you.

Because the circuit used in Russia is different from that used by us, our domestic charging head will not be plugged into the local discovery board when traveling or working in Russia.

Therefore, when we travel to Russia, we need to use a special adapter. Such things need to be purchased in advance to prevent us from finding what we want because we are not familiar with the road conditions.

Write at the end:

So when we go to Russia for the first time, we must plan ahead and don't go blindly. When the dispute between Russia and Ukraine has not come to an end, let's try to stay at home!

If you decide that you need to go abroad, you must know in detail which local behaviors and habits are not allowed. Only when we make our own plans can we not be affected by accidents.
