When I was researching travel options, only really four cities had adequate budget facilities. St. Petersburg, Moscow, Ekaterinburg (in the Urals) and Irkutsk (Lake Baikal). Other than that, the country appears to lack any independent traveller accomodations and services. Mongolia, on the other hand, having entering the world about the same time as Russia, has totally embraced tourism. I think I might go on camping gear spending spree...taking Russia out of the equation has suddently freed up a little coin. Heh heh heh.

Russia's loss. They sure don't want to encourage visitors that's for sure. It's hard to understand in this day and age. You would think they would want foreign visitors. I guess it is better to spend your money where it is valued. Have a good trip to Mongolia! Ouch – sounds like a frustrating day to say the least. Russia’s loss.
