Russian marketplaces
Markets in Russia can be a great way to buy things from food to gifts. But after traveling to USSR and Russia for over 20 years, here is a piece of advice. Don't buy anything without a price showing. It there is no sign or tag buyer be ware. No sign means they can charge whatever to whomever. I sold jewelry myself in Moscow so I know. They look at your face an know you are not Russian. I love Russia dearly and would go back to live there in a heartbeat. So go have fun it is perfectly safe.
