NICK asks: Good Evening. I will plan to take a trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg for a period of 8 days with a tourist visa. Can I use a Credit Card or a Debit card for my daily food expenses?
In most of the cafes and restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg, you can use your debit card (Visa/Mastercard) to pay for the order. However, sometimes there are situations when you can be told that the card payment terminal is broken and you should pay in cash. So we recommend that you also have a certain amount of cash just in case.
Check the following lists of hotels available in Paratunka, Kamchatka (first, second, third). You should better take cash (Russian rubles) as the number of ATMs is minimal (found only 1).

Igor asks: Hey, I have 1 and 5 ruble bank notes from 1947 and 25 10 5 3 and 1 from 1961. Just curious could they be of any worth?

Depending on their condition, the price may vary significantly. 1 Ruble 1947 - 5-15 USD, 5 Rubles 1947 - 20-100 USD (the most valuable one), 1 Ruble 1961 - 0.5-1 USD, 3 Rubles 1961 - 1-2 USD, 5 Rubles 1961 - 3-4 USD, 10 Rubles 1961 - 3-4 USD, 25 Rubles 1961 - 2-3 USD.
