EXAMPLE:

RUSSIA:


Although money can be an issue, and going to distant places can be a broken dream before you start dreaming, I would anyway love to visit Russia. Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colorful contry.
Russia has an incredible population,  they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but don't worry! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact,  its geography is composed of more than 17 million square kilometres!
This huge land is the home of one of the most multi-ethnic nations in the world, and it is considered to be the world’s most diverse society – there are as many as 160 ethnic groups living there, i.e. 160 ways of viewing life, asian people, europeans, people from the arctic, etc!, and just the thought of all the traditions, cotumes, and folclore they have, makes  me crave for visiting ASAP! 
Another of the reasons I would like to see Russia, it's its multi-lingualism, I mean,  being honest;  with that ammount of squared kilometres and ethnicities, you could not expect any less. 

There are  more than 100 tongues spoken in all the country, and even though Russian is the official language, one can always learn a word or two in an incomprehensible, new-for-us language!, Furthermore, I find particularly interest the fact that when writing, the Russians use the Cyrilic Alphabet, and simply, no-one can say it is not a whole world to discover.




Apart from the above mentioned, I have a real interest in taking a tour around the geography, and have a good time travelling Asia and Europe, but even more, I would just love to take a culinary tour, can you imagine the ammount of strange dishes one can find among all those ethnicities?
So far, I have had the chance of eating a couple of traditional russian dishes, they have both been very stimulating and a bit unknown for me, and since I have loved them, I am looking forward to eating them again in situ, and also, have a bite of everything I can, and I am sure that when money gets to be a friend, I will be sending you postcards from there.
See you in Russia!!!

  1. It must be so cool to meet Russia. Will it be as cold as they say? Or is it just like the south of chile?

  4. I'd like to visit Russia one day, specially for its multi-lingualism that you say, I think that's great because we can know too many things about their culture.

    By the way, my blog is "javierasototejo" because there is another person named Javiera Soto in my generation haha.

    See you!

  5. I have seen photographies of Russia, I am charmed with the form and architecture of the ancient and classic constructions. It is brilliant that great part of they still are kept. To visit the big cathedrals and palaces must be like a trip in the machine of the time!!!
    See you soon

    Regards !

  7. Russia sounds like an awesome country! I hope to go there someday as well. It's actually one of the countries that I would like to visit sooner than later.

  9. Ohh, I did´t know so many things about Russia, it's a very interesting place, I would like to know more!

  10. Russia seems like an interesting place to visit indeed. The language barrier would be a problem, although i've always liked the russian phonetics. If i go to Russia, i'd drink a lot of vodka and taste their tipical dishes, like the pirozhkis, wich look quite a lot like empanadas.

  11. I think Russia must be an amazing place to visit...full of colors and very beautiful landscapes. In fact, last weekend I watched on Netflix a really interesting documentary film about the history of that country and I felt in love with Russia! I hope you have luck saving money for the trip because it must be very expensive!

  12. Some time ago I watched a TV programm about a Transiverian road. The team travelled around all Russia showing the most beautiful postals.
    Russia, is absolutely a country that I want to visited.
    See you there!

  13. Hi!

    Russia looks a very interesting country to visit, but how real are the levels of xenophobia toward Latinos?. Even so, i would like the oportunity to travel in places such as Russia.

    Greetings.

  14. I can't imagine what a wonderful country has to be Russia! I would like to visit this country too, but I think the cold there is satanic. I lived in Punta Arenas when I was a child, and all the people who know me say something like "Oh, so you can support the cold everywhere because you're a penguin!", but believe me, I'm not and I hate the cold. However, maybe one day I'll visit Russia with a hundreds pieces of clothes and blankets.

    Cheers.

    See you!

  16. I love travelling! there are a lot of things that I miss from a place where I have been long time ago even I have been there only once in my life. Definitely food is the most important aspect of travelling for me, so it's what I miss the most. I really want to try Russian food, it sounds exotic, interesting and unforgettable!

  21. I didn't know there were so many ethnic groups and languages!! I can't imagine what is in the middle of that huge country, my mind goes from Moscow to Siberia automatically

  22. It seems like Russia is a wonderful place to visit. I think that 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup had been relating cultures from Chile and Russia, and now is time to enjoy this closeness and travel to that beautiful country.

  23. I think the hardest thing to visit that country would be the language. I do not imagine I can understand his words
