What do you know about me?
Hello everyone, whatever your country, age and job.
I’m a girl from Siberia and I always ask myself some questions when I meet foreigners such as what u know about my country, what you suppose an average Russian person is and so on. Probably you have some stereotypes probably I do have them. Anyway, answer my questions please : what do u imagine the Russian way of life, Russian weather and Siberia are.
Thank you beforehand.

I'm sorry to say that my first two thoughts are 'snow' and 'vodka'. I do know there is a lot more to Russian and Siberia than that, but those are the two immediate stereotypes.

Hi Anon
I don't have to imagine what winters are like in Siberia! I know what they are like. The first thing that comes to my mind is the vastness of Siberia, or of Russia. It makes one think how small the European countries are, and even the United States.
The second thing is the immense untapped natural resources. Most of these will probably not be tapped in the near fu

Hello Alfred,
Thank u for being sincere.I know your country, how couldn’t I, different tourist companies are always offering various tours to Malta. Your country must be very beautiful, I guess.

I am happy to hear t

Ruslana, let me tell u one thing. You see, I quite understand that foreigners have some stereotypes about Russia(as well as we do about their stereotypes, for example it is thought by some men that people from other countries think that bears walk in the streets of Russian cities\ I myself not sure about the rightness of this statement), your and my motherland and, actually, I just want to make s
