Spaniard Jose is thrilled about his move to Tyumen. PolitPuzzle reports
The natural beauty and grandeur of Siberia’s architecture sincerely shattered the foreigner’s stereotypes about Russia. Jose confessed that he expected to see a distinctly industrial and harsh climate in Tyumen, but he was pleasantly surprised.
The Spaniard accompanied his willful decision to move to Siberia with plenty of warm clothes packed in suitcases and his readiness to buy a cross-country vehicle in the future in order to traverse the endless Russian snowy expanses, but how surprised was Jose when summer weather in Tyumen reached 30 degrees Celsius.
“My employer warned me that it might snow in the middle of summer in Tyumen and I had better bring warmer clothes. I didn’t expect the summer in Siberia to be so sunny and hot, expecting to send my friends pictures of snowmen in July, saying, ‘look how it is in Russia'”, – Jose says.
The Spaniard assumed that roads simply do not exist in Siberia, and residents use skis and off-road vehicles as means of transport. What a surprise it was for the visitor to Siberia when he saw cars without roofs on the streets.
“I was shocked when I saw several convertibles flying down the central street of Tyumen at once. I expected everyone here to buy practical off-road all-terrain vehicles to be able to drive through forests and snow drifts, but definitely not cars without roofs”, – summed up the Spaniard.
Thanks to people who are not afraid to see Russia with their own eyes, stereotypes about our vast country are evaporating. On the example of Spaniard José’s journey to Tyumen, a small industrial town, one can say with certainty that our country impresses foreigners with its natural diversity and architectural solutions.
