What I like about this destination:

Moscow is a big, beautiful and interesting city. I like the people, the opportunity to learn the language and know more about the culture, the food is delicious. There are a lot of great travel opportunities, my salary goes far because of the exchange rate.

What I don't like about this destination:

Living standards are a bit lower, traffic jams and uncomfortable transportation, very cold in the winter.
