Cultural Exchange Program
Moscow State University, Saint Petersburg State University
I went to Russia from August 27th to September 10th as a program of cultural exchange. Main purpose of the program is to learn the balance of city and nature. I went to two places in Russia.
First, I went to Etnomir, the biggest museum of nation and art. It took about 2 hours from city to the museum. I saw many exhibitions of Russian culture and ways of life and colored a whistle in traditional way. Also, there were some second houses called “Dacha.” Some people stay at Dacha on the weekend.
Second, I went to Losiny Ostrov National Park. It is not far from city. The park has a role of “hospital of animals” because ill animals can recover thanks to fresh air. Recently, some wild boars and deers get to city and desolate farms in Moscow. The park also preserves such animals.
I learned a lot about nature of Russia. I want to go to Russia again.
