Russia is the world's largest country, yet most people only ever hear about Moscow and St. Petersburg. Take this test to find out which other Russian city would suit you best.

(Told me I should go to Tyumen???)

Tyumen? There are no Palm Trees in Tyumen.

incorrect  :laugh:

https://en.pointerst.com/ru/showplace/tyumenskaya-filarmoniya

''Now Tyumen Philharmonic - one of the best concert halls in Russia. Its finish is delighted: fountains with sculptures, smooth marble floors, chandeliers of extraordinary beauty, real palm trees''

Even Krasnoyarsk - which can have -40C - had real Palm Trees . They were re planted during the summer  :coffeeread:

If you want REAL Palm tress - that don't need taking inside for winter ... only Sochi ... has the micro-climate...They are everywhere, lining the streets...it's a little like Miami in parts ... I DID say a little  :chuckle:

Would love me a dacha somewhere in Kamchatka for the summer months though it must be said.  The question is how can i get in on that 1 hectacre of land that Putin is giving away :p.  gonna have to hire someone to "work the land" in my stead while im gone lol.

Thanks for the quiz.

But... they are not a part of Russia.

And I think Marxx is buried in London.

How is that logic to like a city?

Especially London, which is overpriced, dirty and has very few indigenous people living there.

I "live" in Kirov (albeit on a very generous tourist visa) but may move next year to Adler, which is part of Sochi. I'm from Houston, the Land of Never Winter, so the Russian Black Sea definitely suits my body more ;). Although I am getting more use to the long Kirov winters. Traveling for part of the winter helps ;). As well as being home in Houston for much of the holidays (before New Years!). But, my body is also getting more use to it, too. Nevertheless the Russian Black Sea would be much better ;). We will take a trip this January there for the 1st time to see how it is, tickets and accommodation already booked. Shes been there already and likes it but I need to see how I feel first before making a decision. But, I think I already know the answer ;).

Why are people saying London isn't a nice place to live and is dangerous after 6? London is fine, if you get into trouble it is most likely your attitude.

If I had that attitude in St. Petes or Moscow or Jo'burg, I wouldn't last.
