Hello!
I think some people believes Moscow and S.- Petersburg represents Russia. It’s true. But it is not at 100%. Because rest part of Russia is also beautiful, also has own nature, own people. I live in a one part of Russia called Bashkiria or Bashkortostan. From one side of Bashkiria is lowland, from another is mountains of Ural. In the northern part of Bashkortostan is forest, in south part is steppe. Also one of the beautiful mountain of Ural is Yagmantau. There are steam under the ground in this mountain. And this steam cure many diseases. Honey from Bashkortostan, kumis (milk from mare) are also well known product of our Republic.
This page of University which I graduate describe Bashkortostan: http://www.bashedu.ru/bashkortostan/today_e.htm
If somebody want to know more about Bashkortostan please send me message: gv77@mail.ru

Is kumis that yellowish-white drink that you usually see old women selling? I always wondered what the stuff was in the bottles but was pretty much afraid to ask.
