I'm heading almost towards the end of my internship in Krasnodar Krai in Russia. Frankly speaking, before the internship started I was not very sure how well things would turn out to be. The level of English I observed in the airports, restaurants and public transports was horrible. I believe that Aiesec Russia did a good job by taking this initiative to teach Russian children English communication skills. I remember our first day at Federal Camp Smena when the children came to meet us. Truly speaking we couldn't understand them and they couldn't understand what we tried to say. But now most of them have improved significantly and they had even organized an English theatrical play two weeks ago.
The scenario cloned itself in Camp Green Light at Dederkoi, Tuapse as well. From the only English word " Hello" in their mental vocab dictionary, the children learned to introduce themselves, they learned how to count in English, the common animals and colors. I guess with more and more of similar exchange programs, Russia will soon have a solution to it's despicable English communication problem and tourists will have a better time in Russia.
Coming to food, I recommend tourists from the sub continent to carry spices with you. Usually we used to eat at KFC, Burger King and London Cafe when we stayed at major cities like Krasnodar, Tuapse, Anapa and Novorosiysk. But while staying in camp, the food was quite shabby and not up to the mark. Luckily a friend of mine from Pune had brought some Indian Mango pickle that made the food edible.
Our international team was awesome and the members of Aiesec who coordinated this project were friendly and cooperative as well.
Looking forward to a good trip to Sochi, Krasnaya Polyana, Rosa Khutor and Moscow in the upcoming few days.
Ciao!
