Yeah, people thought we were crazy when we moved here and were relishing the quality of the groceries from the cheap grocery store. Not everything is perfect but wow is the median food quality way better here.

Russia has absolutely delightful cities (if you watch some videos about touring Moscow and St. Petersburg and you think you might like them, I assure you that you will), resorts, natural beauty (Altai and Baikal come to mind), churches that would be one of a kind historical monuments anywhere are all over the place, and there are beautiful smaller cities and rural villages everywhere — ask around and people will tell you what to see and do. Russians do a lot of tourism of Russia themselves. For my family the Moscow metro is a whole tourist destination in itself.
