이 포스팅은 다음 월요일(여기 시간으로 내일 모레)에 떠나는 핀란드-러시아 여행 일정표. (원래 홈페이지는 여기.)
Optional program들은 대체로 25EUR인데 문제는 어제 시험보느라 신청 기한을 넘겨버려서 그냥 같이 가는 동일이하고 직접 돌아다니면서 봐야 할 듯. (혹시 몰라서 일단 물어보긴 할 거다..) 호텔 룸메는 동일이랑 하는 것으로 해놓았다.
러시아 여행에 대해 알아보니, 영어가 안 통하고 러시아어를 못하면 무시하는 경향이 있으며, 박물관 등에는 외국인용 창구가 따로 있어서 보통 표값이 좀더 비싸고-_-, 카드 사용이나 환전에는 큰 문제가 없고, 다만 길 다닐 때 집시들이나 백인우월주의자 집단인 스킨헤드들을 조심해야 된다는 것 정도..? 경찰도 봉급이 적어서 이상한 트집을 잡아 금품을 요구하는 경우가 있다고 한다(헉)..;; 경찰이 여권을 요구할 경우 내 손으로 펴서 잡은 채로 보여주란다;; (갑자기 이런 얘기들을 보니 불안해지기도 하는데 언제 어디서나 이상한 낌새가 보이면 피해다니는 건 마찬가지니까..)
그래도 단체 관광을 선택한게 치안이나 이런 것 때문이기도 하니까 큰 문제는 없을 것 같다. 아래에서 FREE TIME이라고 표시된 시간에는 친구들하고 같이 돌아다니면 될 것이다. 저번 일요일에 사전 미팅이 있었는데 투어 담당자가 설명해줄 때 그런 위험 사항에 대해서는 따로 언급하지 않은 걸로 봐선 지금까지 별다른 문제는 없었던 모양. (여권 잃어버려서 고생했던 사람이 딱 한 명 있었다 함.)
아, 그리고 이 여행 기간 동안 인터넷과 핸드폰 등 모든 통신 수단을 사용할 수 없게 될 예정이다. (여기 핸드폰으로 로밍이 가능하다고는 하는데 요금이 비쌀 것 같고 이게 선불폰이라 될런지 모르겠다.. 급한 연락은 현지 공중전화를 사용하는 방향으로 할 생각이고 대사관, 경찰, 구급대 등의 비상 전화번호는 미리 메모해갈 예정.)
