The thing you probably know about my country is that ... it's a northern country with snow, frost, cold winter, taiga, Siberia, polar bears.
But the thing you really should know is that ... it's very different and a great part of Russia lays in subtropics. You could find every climate and a variety of nature.
Over there, we think Kiwis ... live upside down.
On a short visit, you should ... compare the beauties of Moscow and St Petersburg.
