Expat Advice: Dream vs. Reality of Expat Life in Moscow, Russia
What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?
Moscow
Describe how you "dreamed" expat life would be before you moved overseas. Please provide as much detail as possible.
I had no dreams but I did expect the worst about Moscow and Russia in general, given the continuous bad press it usually gets (also the weather, particularly the long and very cold winters!).
How has your expat experience met the expectations you dreamed about before you moved abroad?
Moscow was not my first move but it was the most daunting. Luckily, it turned out much better than I expected and we all very much enjoyed our time there (and, even though the winters are long and cold - and very grey - the summer's are beautifully hot, being the two extremes from around -30'C to +30'C!).
