Cheapest way to go to russia
 

and how to go about getting a visa to visit the country from canada? anyone have any ideas? seriously? Id love to visit there I am half russian.

join the russian mafia

1. start a paysite
2. wait for a russian to start attempting PPS fraud
3. message him and ask if you can marry his sister so that you can get citizenship in russia


done.

I guess you two didnt see the serious part in my questions lol

serious questions always get non serious answers on this board

if I remember it right it was like $80 visa fee to visit Russia - you should call the embassy.

as for accomodation - you can rent nice apartments in the center of Moscow or St.Petersburg at 100-$150/day

so I guess the most expencive part is the plane tickets

thanks for the info buzz and bobby you seem to be right ;)

From Russia with love
 

During one of your nights there they will sell your organs for transplant at one of the private clinics (there is huge demand for well fed, non alcholic, young western livers), your relatives will get a message that you dissapeared and that you were allegedly involved with shady underground elements.

Also beware of bitches that you meet and that want to invite you 'home'.

Enjoy your trip!

Do not fly Aeroflot.

to get a visa to Russia is f'ing pain in the neck... i guess they are trying to make it as hard as for Russians to get US/Canadian visa. I think the easiest way for you is to go through a travel agency specializing in arranging visas for Russia. just do a search on google.

Just fyi, Moscow is one of the most expensive cities in the world. So you'll spend an arm and a leg on your hotel and all your daily expenses... your trip will be as expensive as going to Japan.

But i think you are looking for thrill. :winkwink: So go for it and enjoy it... but be careful.

Seriously though, http://glavs.com Nelle helped us with tickets to Bulgaria and Ukraine and her speciality is Russia so you might want to contact her.

not sure...but i would love to go one day as well..

Nothing wrong with Aeroflot, maybe a little more headache :upsidedow price wise less expensive, service is decent.

Best to have a native guide, could be your friend or someone you meet over there, ideally someone you can trust. In large city's downtowns quiet a plentiful people speak or understand English. Many of young crowd have mixed Russian-English, good amount of English basic words are used on a daily basis. "Okay" is used as often as "Da". :)

In terms of a stay-in place your options basically are hotels or residential rental (apt, house, ranch, etc.) renting out done either on daily or monthly terms. The residence owners usually like to have some kind of prepay preferably in dollars. Residential rental can be sometimes risky, many times less expensive than hotels, in most cases room service in these rentals can be arranged to whatever degree you may wish.

Russian currency, rubles are used every where else where formality is necessary ;). Currency exchanges can be found at most banks and practically on every corner of busy streets. I don't recommend to get involved in money exchage in private sector and people you don't know just to be on a safe side. Plenty of ATMs in downtown areas your visa's most likely will work at a hight transaction rate. In large cities in many places credit cards and debit are accepted. Some of these places can charge extra % for processing CC.

Many areas to explore along with your usual tourist attractions - luxury/vip, nightlife, underground scene, hitch highcking, suburbs/country lifestyle, and fishing/hunting.

Shopping bags stores sell as an option at extra charge LOL, but it's true. :upsidedow
And beer you can drink almost anywhere in any shape or form, anytime! :winkwink:

In general like in any other places far of your home you should be always careful, don't loose your guard at any times, which prevents from welcoming unwanted situations. Russia has its unique bueaty at all seasons, for the first time ideally go at the end of spring and during whole summer time. Plan ahead, don?t drink too much and be ready for lots of fun and new experiences.

it might be best to go with a tourist agency specialising in east-europian countries to get a visa and hotel accomodations. A bit cheaper if you get visa yourself through the embassy.

walking/swimming can be cheap...

Just gotta live off the land while you're doing it, and you should be there in a yea ror two.
