Travel to your Dream!

Always wanted to know how to make a journey to your dream faster and easier? Russelation is here to help!

Travel to find a Russian bride by: Iren Chernoff

Do you agree that the best lessons are lessons given to you by other people who have already made some mistakes so that you wouldn’t repeat them? We are going to have a detailed observation of a certain man’s trip. When coming to Russia he managed to make a lot of mistakes and he can hardly calm down with the idea of getting wiser and more experienced. But you can avoid all this bad stuff! Just imagine you are playing the computer game called “Taking pleasure from you trip to Russia”. Come on!

Let’s start.

As you know any trip starts long before you take a plane. At first you have to plan everything very carefully and think of all the details, then get a visa and pack your things.

Our hero (let’s call him Jake) started making mistakes from the very beginning. He has planned a two-week tour and booked an apartment through our agency and a transfer from the airport to this apartment. To make the invitation form he joined one of the firms he has found himself. Our Executive manager Slava used to ask him if he is sure in the firm several times. We have some grounds for worries because we often face the situations when we have to save our clients at the airport Customs Service because of problems with their visas.

To make a trip to Russia you need:

* the invitation to get a visa

* the very visa

* in Russia you must have registration.

Attention! Registration is not the procedure you are passing through at the Customs Service. They just mark the date of your arrival to the country. Registration is a special seal on your visa form that informs about the place of your staying in Russia. You have a right to stay in the country for 3 days only without this seal.

Our Executive manager had some doubts concerning the reliability of the firm that had made an invitation and promised to help with registration is case of problems.

You can get your registration in the following ways:

* if you organize your trip to Russia with the help of some firm it is obliged to obtain your registration. Those who make your invitation from must also obtain your registration. * if you stay at a hotel you should ask the hotel administration if it has the OVIR permission to make registration. IF it doesn’t have one, it has no right to register you. In Kazan we have three hotels having this right. They are “Safar”, “Regina” and “Volga”. * if you stay at your woman´s place she must obtain your registration in OVIR according to the place of her official registration.

So, you’ve got your visa. Now you have to think about the place you are going to stay at.

You have a choice: hotel, rented apartment or the place of your woman, if she cares to invite you.

Let's begin with the last one. To tell the truth, we do not advise our clients to invite men to live at their place. And it is not the matter of our bad hospitality!:) There are some reasons to it:

* If there won't be any sympathy between you, it is most likely that the woman won't tell you about it, because of her hospitality. You will be the hostage of this situation! Never forget about it!

* The foreigner is a "dorogoi" guest. If you do not know, here in Russia, the word "Dorogoi" has two meanings. "Dear" and "Expensive". So, a foreigner is a dear guest in both meanings!:) And it is really true, as he is very desired. Some women are preparing for the meeting thoroughly: they can repair their apartments and they can even make a plastic operation to the breast too! (Real case). Besides, Russians are very hospitable. They put the best food to the table when they have a guest. It is burdensomely if the guest come for a long time. Everything costs very expensive here in Russia. The average month salary in the province is 100 $ . And the lady´s family will never say you that they run into debt, in order to meet very important guest. They can not accept your money because of their pride feeling. Of course, there are some well -doing families too here in Russia. They live in opulence, but there is not so many of them.

* Most women live together with their parents, as they do not have their own apartment. Do you agree to see the parents twenty-four-hours a day?

But when it is not the first time you are visiting your Lady, so you know the family and the traditions quite well and everything is fine, I think you are going feel wonderful near your future wife!:)

A useful piece of advice

Anyway, before your flight you should think about the stuff you won’t be able to do without. Find out if there are such things in your future apartment as:

* consumer tools like an iron, a dryer and a toaster

* a needed number of beds and proper bed-linen (take into account the frequency of its changing)

* a number of rooms, hot water (the latter can be a real problem in Russia!)

* try to imagine the whole day you are going to spend in this apartment and some more things you can need. Write it down and send them to your girl beforehand.

By the way, packing things remember that Russian weather is very changing. You should take something for colder or visa versa hot weather or rains.

Before your flight you must know exactly the person who is going to meet you and the time of your meeting.
