the journey
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
studied at the Nizhny Novgorod State University (Lobachevsky). this was a memorable experience living in Russia close to 5 years. The cities are huge offering so many daily activities to the population. People have a stereotype about studying or living in Russia , there is no such a thing, the people are so friendly ,kind and easy to make friends.
