Signs and Notation Conventions. Russian for foreigners
Are you planning a trip abroad? Why not going to Russia?
Preparations for such a trip usually consist of several stages:
Stage 1. Deciding what places to visit
Stage 2. Finding a travel companion
Stage 3. Deciding on the terms of the trip
Stage 4. Making up a financial plan for the trip
Stage 5. Buying tickets and getting a visa / leaving that job for your travel agent
Stage 6. Buying a big bag
Stage 7. Packing only the REALLY NECESSARY items into the big bag
Stage 8. Printing out the survival guide to take with you on your trip
Stage 9. Arriving on time at the airport or station and… Enjoying your vacation!
P.S. Besides these steps it would be very helpful to look through the table below.
