China
Expectation
Beauty of China’s architecture but also look at this wishful, perhaps unrealistic state of the touristic place: empty streets, away from bustling sites where you can see nothing except the nape of another city wanderer…
Ah The Great Wall and its thousand hundreds of people per day (if to take weekend day) holding their selfie sticks in the air trying to get a good shot…picture shot I meant:p
To see how tourists compete for the best selfie then this is the place to be, thanks to some restrictions otherwise damaging walls and steeling bricks would be like an everyday thing.
Respectively speaking — no one should disrespect religious grounds!
Russia
Expectation
(for whole year round)
like a sun-kissed arctic landscape (Yakhtenniy Bridge)
Casting around the beach gateway in winter (December – February)…What about a real winter beach (snow-covered)?
Rule #1 – Right gear, nothing to fear…
Yeah beach in Russia …from Nov – March . Picture is taken in St.Petersburg, coldest days – 25°C ( – 13°F) , but usually -1 °C (30°F) to -10 °C (14 °F) during the whole winter season.
How about a shelter from the maddening noise of the incessant winds…
Reality
shimmering sand beach gateway in summer
This beach looks nice, but in reality its not for swimming, notice the warning sign 🚫 on the centre…In Russia there is an unspoken rule: the warning sign is there to warn you, not to stop you…and who is forewarned is forearmed.
Where most Russians live and work? Where do they go for fun? How do they act usually? Will share it here the blog.
