Many compatriots dream of an overseas vacation with excellent service. And those who manage to fulfill this desire try to break away to the fullest. Sometimes, looking at the orgy that Russians arrange on vacation, you want to forget for a while where you come from.
1. Queues at the airport
According to observations, the most nervous visitors to the airport are Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians. They are the ones who make noise more often than others, try to bargain for the best seats on the plane and try to be the first to get into the cabin. In addition, residents of the post-Soviet space often begin to celebrate their vacation already in the airport building and continue in the aircraft cabin. Many are not even stopped by the current prohibitions on drinking alcohol.
2. Applause
Despite the fact that airplanes have long and firmly entered our lives, residents of Russia and neighboring countries still perceive this transport as something wonderful and at the same time dangerous. That is why applause is sure to sound in the cabin of the plane where the Russians fly. They took off - great, everyone clapped, sat down - thank God, a stormy ovation.
3. Traffic outfits
Something, but we know how to shock! Our citizens are easy to identify at the airport or on the bus by their ridiculous outfits. Some, going on vacation to hot countries, come to the airport almost in beach shorts. In combination with boots and a down jacket, it looks very impressive. Ladies love to travel in hats and glasses, while obscuring the view of everyone who is nearby.
4. Rituals
Immediately upon arrival at the hotel, most of our compatriots go to eat, and then be sure to swim. It is desirable, of course, in the sea, but if this is not possible, then in the pool. In hotels in Turkey and Egypt, you can often see people diving into the pool in their clothes. You can rest assured that these are ours. And to the outraged exclamations of the administration, they most often respond with a raised thumb.
5. Buffet
Looking at the behavior of our compatriots in hotel restaurants, one gets the impression that they are coming to eat. Plates of our citizens are simply bursting with food, and what you can't eat on the spot must be taken with you for later, even if it's forbidden. To distinguish "friends" from "strangers" will help the appearance and habits. Men can easily come to a restaurant in beach shorts and bare-chested, and get out by jumping over the fence, because this is faster and you can immediately be on the beach.
6. Beach
Most of our compatriots cannot afford to regularly fly abroad for holidays. Therefore, once at the resort, they try to get the maximum. Our citizens spend the first few days on the beach. Naturally, after that they become like crayfish and only after that they begin to hide from the sun. If the hotel provides vacationers with free sun loungers, Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians will definitely join the game for the best seats. To do this, they will cover the loungers they like with towels, of course, those that they received at the hotel.
7. Dress code
The fact that the most beautiful and well-groomed women live in Ukraine and Russia is no secret to anyone. However, the desire to demonstrate their beauty sometimes reaches the point of absurdity. Our girls can easily go on an excursion wearing high heels, come to dinner in a long dress to the floor or in the very heat, walk along the beach with a ton of makeup on their face.
8. Couples
If you hear someone quarreling in the distance, in 70 cases out of 100, when you approach, you will hear Russian speech. Yes, rest for emotional married couples from Russia and Ukraine is another challenge. And since for many men a journey to warmer lands often turns into an alcoholic marathon, women have no choice but to take the position of a strict overseer.
9. Souvenirs
It is very difficult for our tourists to resist the temptation and not to take home everything that is possible from the hotel room. Towels, bathrobes, slippers, cosmetics sets, soap dispensers - this is not a complete list of what our compatriots are trying to pack in their suitcases. And it’s not poverty at all. This behavior can be compared to gambling, the essence of which is to snatch something from a hotel room or restaurant as a keepsake of a good rest.
