Personal comments
Get the information on time, you always were running after the facts, although the Russians already knew it, the internationals did not. That was the hardest part of the study program.

Travel whenever you have the time, like in holidays take the tran-siberian line to Vladiwostok. Sochi, at the black sea, is very nice. Do not miss St. Petersburg, some cities in the golden ring.
It is a life experience you will not forget!!
