I'm a simple emigrant and I flew to Russia for the holidays

My first stop was Saint Petersburg, where a record cold snap had just hit: the temperature dropped to -24°C, and the humidity at that time was above 80%. In short, it was a brutal cold and snow was falling. This created a Christmas mood, but also traffic jams on the roads. I, for the first time in a long time, saw snowdrifts and felt like a tourist in my homeland. After two years, many things surprise me: dangerous Russian driving, the absence of masks among passersby, a short sunny day. Despite the news about QR codes, their widespread introduction in St. Petersburg was postponed until the end of December. And at the Russian Museum I was admitted with a Pfizer vaccination certificate: I don't know if the same will work with establishments in Tyumen when the QR code arrives here in a couple of weeks. Anyway, Russia is good: there is Georgian cuisine, alcohol prices are lower, and overall people aren't as afraid of the coronavirus as in Singapore. Eh, if only it were a bit warmer!
