What is it like in Russia?
For most of the people; life in russia is great! they come here, away from parents, family, strictness… and they start smoking, drinking and getting laid.
here in russia it’s kinda easy to sleep with girls; you can for example tell them that u’re latin/american/turk … and they’ll immediatly open their legs (not all of them of course, but most).
there is a band in russia that is called “skin heads” (lots of them in moscow, **** petersburg), these people hate foreigners!!!!! they hit to kill, and if u’re with a russian guy or even girl they might kill him\her two cause she’s a “traitor” (because she is with a foreigner).
at nights we foreigners can’t go outside because of them, if we have a party or going to a club we must be at least 7-8 people going together.
my life is very boooooring here! i have friends; russian/foreign, black/white/yellow/red skinned. i even help protect them in the hostel and campus from people who might deseave them, threaten them ….. i solve fights, reunite friends, give advises to people who need.
for example there is a girl from Madagaskar, she’s been feeling very depressed the last month, now we are going to send her home for a year to rest, eat/sleep well, to see her family/friends… and next year she’ll come back to continue and without even loosing her scholarship! we tried hard to make her feel better, but this is a very hard one in a million situation/problem wich is hard to solve.
there were many students who had almost the same problem and now they feel much better.
there are people who come to russia with their own problems, like there is one girl whose father tried to molest her a year ago, she came to russia one and a half month ago, she liked it at first but just today she came to tell me that she wants to go home and that she cried yesterday thinking of this. i don’t know what to tell her! the smart decision would be to go back home, she can still find a university to get accepted in; it’s not too late, and plus she would be able to work and study at the same time (here in russia foreigners aren’t allowed to work; if they get caught they could be deported), but on the second hand i don’t want her to go back to live with a dad who want to sleep with his own daugher and with a mother who is not on her side and who didn’t beleive that her own husband would be able to do that.
