DON'T talk much in lines for Russian theater or other activity if you are an American...You'll get American price. :-) 2. DO NOT DO NOT stand in doorways or make transactions through one...you may get pulled through to the other side because the space between is a portal for bad things.... 3. DO realize that if you say, "I like this vase" you may walk away with it...so be careful unless you really want that vase...and its still not a good idea to plunder! DO’s and DON’Ts in Russia 4. DO wear dark colors...black...black scarf...black boots...pants..whatever. Wear black. And it's cold...so wear layers! 5. DO dress up to go out on the town...mini skirts in winter are acceptable...just wear tights underneath and a nice pair of boots! :-) 6. DON’T freak out – mayo goes everywhere! All the Russian salads, soups, etc. You need to warn your host family (if they offer you a meal) in case you don’t like mayo. A lot of times it’s a very important part of the dish! DO’s and DON’Ts in Russia 7. DO thank your host family/friends who bought/cooked you a meal/drink even if you didn’t like it! Learn these words – ВКУСНО!and ОЧЕНЬ ВКУСНО! (yummy and very yummy) and use them a lot! 8. DO ask what each meal contains! Be especially careful with a popular Russian meal – ОКРОШКА (cold soup). Most of you won’t probably like it…too exotic! More coming!
