Advice for students stadying in the Russia

1) People
The popular stereotype of Russians is that we are hospitable, we have an "open heart" and "golden hands". Our people also can make fun for any reasons. Sometimes welike crazy people. [1] A Russian is fairly lazy enough, and loves holidays and celebrations.  Many foreigners think so our people are untidy and unsmiling. Probably at first lots of people on the streets and in public places seem are moody, stressed and unhappy. But it's not really true. And Russian women are the most attractive and beautiful in over the world, according to foreigners.

[1]  I wasn't sure sure if you meant, "We like crazy people."  "We are like crazy people". 

2) Food
Russian meals are completely tasty and nourishing. But there aren't too many places where you can try them.  Among multinational food, Russian choose foreign food is similar to the Japanese, Italian and American. [Sorry. I don't understand the preceding sentence.]  If you want to try our national meals, you should go to the countryside. The hostess cooks delicious potatoes, "shchi", porridge and differents pies. [Good alternative:  different types of pies.]

3)Holiday
This is completely different from Europe. There are a lot of holidays in Russia, such as the week after New Year's, May Day, International Women's Day, the 23rd of February, and the Day of National Unity. Our governmant usually combines it with weekends. So we get about one month of holidays each year!

4) Living costs
Compared to European countries, our costs for clothing, technical products, and entertainment are [higher ??]. But our costs for food and water in stores, as well as for everday use items, are a lot cheaper.  Unfortunately, restaurant prices are more expensive for smaller servings than in other countries for a bigger serving.

5) Time and temperature
The Russia is an enormous country, and there are 11 time zones. So when it's 10 a.m. in Moscow, it's 5 p.m. in the Far East. Climate conditions are rather varied, from arctic and moderate, to continental and subtropical. If you want to travel around our country, you will need a large assortment of different clothes, from a swimsuit to a fur coat!
