Today we head to Russia. A country I’ve been dreading writing about. There’s just so much to write about Russia.

Russia is the largest country in the world, is home to Moscow, the largest city in Europe, and is the country with the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world.

I still find it incomprehensible that Russia borders with both North Korea and Finland. Russia has the world’s coldest town, but also has a sub-tropical resort on the Black Sea. It’s unsurprising then that Russia has the longest railway in the world, the Trans-Siberian Railway, spanning more than 9,000 km.

Anyway, I’ve had a really long day at work where I had to give a talk to the entire company. It’s 10 pm, so I’m signing off early. The only thing I will commit to, is I’m going to visit Russia as soon as it’s humanly possible.

Russia is a truly fascinating place. If you don’t believe me, just look at this drone footage of Moscow that inspired this entire blog series…
