I went to Russia to visit a couple of friends. One teaching in Moscow and one learning abroad in Saint Petersburg. I stayed in diplomat housing in the heart of Moscow. Russia has never been on my "bucket list" however, I am grateful to have visited and wouldn't have traded the experience.
It had been quite a few years since I had taken such an involved trip. I was glad to have good friends to visit and buffer the culture gap that would have been otherwise overwhelming. Having friends made it easier to take that extra oomph needed to step into a foreign place.
