Why do I need to watch the movie? I live in America and have traveled all over the country. Most people live well here, yes there are ghettos and poor people. I never denied this, but such people and places are not the norm. What's the point in traveling if you don't want to see something different than your normal surroundings? That's why I like Russia. There is nothing offensive or elitist about this post, it's merely a simple observation I made about shops in small provinces, nothing more. This is a personal blog, so of course I share my personal impressions here.
