1. Dressing up to go to the store.
Imax Tree / Via stylebistro.com
Russians, especially Russians living
in cities, love dressing up. For example, a nice dress and some heels
are perfect attire for a casual walk.
2. Sitting down for a minute before heading on a trip.
Once the suitcase is packed, most Russians will typically pause and sit quietly for a minute before leaving.
3. Making really long and complicated toasts.
New Line Cinema / Via google.com
Only the laziest of the laziest of
Russians will make a toast of “To health” or something short like that.
Seriously. Expect to hear anecdotes and too much reading into them.
4. Telling anecdotes as often as possible.
They might be in the middle of
telling a story and then say, with relish, “And, you know, this reminds
me of an anecdote…” and then proceed to tell it, even if it’s completely
irrelevant.
5. Congratulating one another on getting out of a shower or sauna.
NBC / Via funnyjunk.com
They say, “S lyogkim parom!” (Basically, “Congratulations on a light steam.”)
6. Answering “how are you?” honestly and fully.
How are you?” in Russian demands an actual answer, not just “Great, thanks!”
7. Not smiling at strangers.
Smiling at people you randomly make
eye contact with is not a thing. Smiles are supposed to be genuine, to
be shared with friends.
8. Celebrating New Year’s more enthusiastically than Christmas.

The tree is for New Year’s. Presents are for New Year’s. Forget Christmas. New Year’s is THE winter holiday.
9. Constantly rewatching old Soviet cartoons.
Felix Kandel / Via cartoonsdb.blogspot.com
“Nu, Pogodi!” (the Russian version of
Tom and Jerry), “Bremenskiye Muzykanty” (The Musicians From Bremen),
and “Snezhnaya Koroleva” (The Snow Queen), are among Russia’s favorites.
10. Calling all females “girl”.
If you want to call your female
waitress, you yell, “girl!” If you want to address a fifty-year-old
woman, you can call her “girl.” If you want to address an actual girl,
you call her “girl.” Any woman short of a babushka (grandmother) is
“girl.”
11. Sitting down at the table for a meal and staying there for hours.
When groups of Russians get together for dinner, they will sit down, have dinner, and talk. Then they will talk some more.
12. Always keeping your bags.
Seriously, Russians never, ever, ever throw away any bags, just ‘cause you never know when you might need one.
13. Preparing way more food than is necessary for when friends come over.
And most of it will have tons of mayo.
14. Living with their parents.
Paramount Pictures / Via lilyincanada.wordpress.com
It is often that an entire Russian family - parents, children, grandparents - will live together in one apartment.
15. Meeting complete strangers and then becoming friends with them immediately.
Kino International Corp. / Via kino-teatr.ru
And then inviting them over for some tea after only 10 minutes of conversation.
16. And never showing up to someone’s house without a gift in hand.
It can be a dessert or a wine if it’s
dinner, or it can be chocolates or flowers (so long as it’s not an even
number of them). It’s not really important what it is, as long as you
bring something.

Hello everyone, i would like to share my experience on this platform. i have been hearing of Blank Atm for a while and i applied through a few people but i was scammed, not until i found Mr George who saved me from scammers, i got my blank ATM card in 5 days after application and tried the encrypted card in an ATM machine and pos cash store to my greatest surprise i was able to withdraw €3000 and that was the daily rate i applied for in total i have made a withdrawal of €30000. to be honest there is no risk involved the card is not traceable and has an infrared signal that blocks off CCTV during your withdrawals. i just payed my daughters tuition fee and cleared my mortgage debts, i am also richer and started a business that is doing fine. Mr George is really a life saver and he is very genuine. You can contact him with this email address: blankatm402@gmail.com
Best wishes
Împărtășesc această mărturie cu partenerii care se luptă în relațiile lor pentru că există o soluție de durată. Soțul meu ne-a lăsat pe mine și pe cei 2 copii ai noștri pentru o altă femeie timp de 3 ani. Am încercat să fiu puternică doar pentru copiii mei, dar nu am putut controla durerea care îmi chinuia inima. Am fost rănit și confuz. Am avut nevoie de ajutor, așa că am făcut câteva cercetări pe internet și am dat peste un site web unde am văzut că Dr. Ellen, un vrăjitor, vă poate ajuta să vă recuperați iubiții. Am contactat-o și a spus o rugăciune specială și vrăji pentru mine. Spre surprinderea mea, dupa 2 zile sotul meu s-a intors acasa. Așa că ne-am reunit și a fost atât de multă dragoste, bucurie și pace în familie. De asemenea, puteți lua legătura cu Dr. Ellen, un puternic asistent de soluții
1) recâștigă-ți fostul iubit
2) Aduceți soțul și soția împreună
3) nu mai repeta coșmarurile
