When we were kids, every time we hear about going somewhere north, the first thing that comes in our minds was Santa Claus. However, from the around 150 people living at the north pole santa claus, unfortunately is not among them. The north pole is truly a winter wonderland, with icy scenery and animals, it is truly a territory worth exploring further.
Another territory, which is also due north, that is worth exploring is the Russian territory. Back then it was closed to visitors, keeping its secrets and mysteries to itself. But now that it is open to visitors, there is no excuse for you not to get a russian travel visa as soon as possible. One reason to go to Russia is the matrioshka museum at Moscow. Matrioshka is a wooden doll, that appeared not more than a hundred years ago, in the home of Antoly Mamontov, in Moscow. The museum is even situated at the same house where the first wooden doll was carved at the end of the 19th century. See the matrioshka museum, and help preserve history and traditions.
