while generally russia is safer to walk and live that place is just overall shithole. being drunk and vodka is easy way to make friends in russia. but after the war they don't even have eggs in grocery stores or barely anything and people use exotic fruits as currency. it has become an total african country. but meanwhile in mexico they can get a bunch of na groceries and can even buy pc parts and the places that are liveable are actually very good places.   my gf has visited me bunch of times already.
