Mildly Interesting

That's a good one too I think. I know someone who did the Moscow to Vladivostok train ride (and I'm assuming took a train or something to Moscow in the first place). He said it was pretty fun seeing the culture change so much getting out of the city and into the countryside. Russians on the whole (excluding everyone in power and many alcoholics of course) are friendly and kind, so not at all a bad country to go through. Unfortunately no longer an option for the majority of us because Putin's an asshole.
