Ever since my dad started to work at an international company, he is always been sent to other countries on business trips. He has been in the US for countless of times attending seminars and meetings. This time would be different; my dad was going to Russia. Russia was territory he was unfamiliar with, of course he knew the geographic location, and other general information that can read on books and watched on television. Obtaining a Russian visa is not easy, but since he was going there on a business trip, he was getting a russian business visa. He need not worry about getting an invitation letter, his company, had taken care of that, and also the expenses.
My dad, when going somewhere for the first time, does a little research about it, since he was heading to Russia, he read about various tourist attractions that can be found in Russia, he even read about the magnetic north pole heading towards Russia, their culture and of course, about russian food, delicacies and drinks, and he could wait to taste the different kinds of Russian soups.
