Russian porches: that they were not so in the opinion of foreigners

When visiting Russia with tourists crumble some myths about Russia and others are formed. For example, some of them are surprised by our entrance, the lack of manual bears Siberians and characteristics of private homes of our country.

Entrances of apartment buildings seem to be the guests of some states of America is very unusual. The thing is that Americans are popular townhouses and duplexes - the house with multi-level apartments, where their input of each host. For example, these can be seen in the films "Stuart Little" and "Duplex", another example - the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix Harry Potter. Such houses are usually designed for two families - duplex - and do not exceed a height of three storeys.

Grimm, 12 from the 'Harry Potter'. All the apartments are on a common foundation and common walls, but each "host" your input.

When visiting Russia for many becomes a discovery that our high-rise buildings do not fit into their usual pattern, and all these floors not someone's large apartment that housing single-level, small and that the apartments are very large number of both on the floor and in the house.

One more thing - improvement. In the US cities where skyscrapers familiar with apartments is possible to note a strong class division of property.

For example, the middle class living in a more or less well-kept houses, provided the Americans - in high-rise buildings with concierge and cozy corridors. Something gray and launched under the name of "staircase" is common for people with very low income.

It is tempting to think of trouble - even in a luxury house in a small provincial town Russian conditions are far from what is familiar to those who live in America or Europe. In addition, the usual number of apartments on the staircase for them - four. More of them again associate the guests of our country with the poor and ghetto.

The difference of habitual patterns and mentality leaves its mark - the usual for single people looking for other unusual and can cause an interesting discussion.
