RE: Dear Steemians! This is my brief introduction (+meaning of “Khadnii Mangaa”)
That's a really nice dream! :D
If you ever decide to go out on a journey to Russia and Mongolia, it's better to come to Russia somewhere around 20th of June. At that time, in Saint Petersburg you will see the famous white night. It will not get dark for a few days there.
In Moscow, usually its very cloudy and rainy here but at the end of June, it gets quite sunny. Afterwards, it will be cool to go to Irkutsk by train for 3-4 days. The scenery is nice and people are quite fun to hang around with. From Irkutsk, you can go to Lake Baikal. That place is filled with mystery, you will feel it if you spend some time there. You might wanna check out one monastery somewhere there. That place is famous because a famous monk's "living body" is there, he lived in the beginning of 20th century. I don't know if they would actually let you in, but that place is sure interesting! :O
The best time to visit Mongolia, in my opinion, is before the 10th of July. We have the most important traditional festival, that is held from 11-14th of that month. July is the warmest month in my country, so it is very convenient to travel at that time.
Then you could go to Beijing by train, along the way you will get to see the Great Wall. Climate and natural zones will change so much along the way from Russia: plain, forest, taiga, mountains, steppe, desert and the Chinese warm forest zone. Russia, Mongolia and China's way of life is completely different, experiencing them all on one journey would be awesome, I think :P
Writing blogs on steemit and doing vlogs on d.tube about your trip might somehow help you to become a blockchain millionaire hahaha xD
That's some incredible advice!
It surely sounds like an amazing trip.
Are people generally friendly to foreigners?
I never considered visiting China, but if it's part of the trip I'm sure it will be worth it. xD
You've giving more imagination to my hopeful vacation- Surely I'll work even harder to afford it one day.
Yeah, we are generally friendly to foreigners but of course there are few minor problems like always.
Nowadays, you won't get to see them, we used to have active nazist groups in our country. Most of them were just delinquents, who would attack foreigners(mostly Chinese) in the name of keeping our country "clean". I haven't seen them for a quite some time.
Also we have issues with our manly ego. Some of our men are too damn proud of themselves that they look down on others, it becomes evident when they are drunk. But the main victims of these problems are mostly us, they only partly concern foreigners.
I guess language barrier would be the main issue for those who don't speak Mongolian or Russian :S
English is being taught in Mongolia and I think about 1/5th of all people there should able to understand a bit of English in the capital city.
If you ever decide to come by, we could hang out =)
