yes, i recommend always having a purse tissue pack stuffed in your pocket or purse.

the public toilets i used did not often have soap. and you had to pay extra for the t.p. (their t.p. is similar to the brown paper towels you find in some public bathrooms here.... quite coarse)

i had heard that few people smile in russia, but it was really surprising to be there and experience that truth.

in america we are very accustomed to the fake friendliness that we have come to expect from cashiers and clerks and even other customers. there is just NONE of that there. very sober expressions on every face..... with very, very few exceptions.
