We had already seen 3 beautiful, big cities in Russia and when we arrived in Yekaterinburg, we were somehow not that impressed at the beginning. The mixture of soviet-time architecture, skyscrapers, shopping malls and old churches didn\u2019t manage to charm us straight away. But the four days there showed us what a nice city it was after all. This time it was the people above anything else that made the city feel so friendly and welcoming.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090051-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Like all other cities we visited in Russia, also Yekaterinburg had its river\" class=\"wp-image-1626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090051-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090051-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090051-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090051.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Like all other cities we visited in Russia, also Yekaterinburg had its river<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090044-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The tradition of cute iron statues continued on the streets of Yekaterinburg\" class=\"wp-image-1624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090044-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090044-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090044-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090044.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The tradition of cute iron statues continued on the streets of Yekaterinburg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Somewhere between Europe and Asia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we arrived, we were a little bit confused as we didn\u2019t know whether we were in Europe or already in Asia, and we still don\u2019t know it. By doing some research it seems that in Russia Asia starts from the Ural mountains and the Ural river. As Yekaterinburg is located east from the both, you would think we are in Asia. On the other hand, the Russian part of Asia is called Siberia and we are not yet in Siberia, but at the Ural region. Even the locals don\u2019t seem to be sure about it. But they also said they don\u2019t care \u2013 it seems to be important only for the tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090017-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090017-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090017-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090017-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090017.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suprises of the first day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first surprise we encountered on our first day in the city was coming in a form of a delicious cake. We found a nice restaurant, <strong>Rada<\/strong>, with a vegetarian buffet. Things got a little bit out of hands since we wanted to taste so many foods new to us. As we were sitting there, stuffing our faces with the wonderful Russian treats, two of the workers came to us. They brought us a whole cake and told us that it\u2019s a tradition to give it to us as a present. In exchange they wanted to have a picture of us. Don\u2019t know what they did with the picture but also don\u2019t care because hey, free cake!! We were so surprised and so happy about this gesture. We think that offering free cake is a much nicer way to welcome foreigners than demanding the closing of borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image Postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080983-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Being happy with cake\" class=\"wp-image-1618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080983-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080983-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080983-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1080983.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Being happy with cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evening took a little bit surprising turn as well, as we decided to have a beer next to the river. First of all, while we sat there, there was a students\u2018 celebration and suddenly a firework show happening a few metres behind our backs. We were a bit shocked of the sudden, loud explosions, but then enjoyed the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image Postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190913_211112-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The surprising firework show\" class=\"wp-image-1614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190913_211112-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190913_211112-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190913_211112-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190913_211112.jpg 1351w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><figcaption>The surprising firework show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple of hours later we found ourselves drinking vodka-cola in an underground bar and posing on top of an old Russian car with a samurai sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image Postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190914_001004-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Was fun to look at these pictures the next morning\" class=\"wp-image-1615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190914_001004-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190914_001004-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190914_001004-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190914_001004.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Was fun to look at these pictures the next morning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was not surprising at all, was that the next day we didn\u2019t feel too good and spent the day doing nothing but eating pizza in our bed.

We didn\u2019t have a common language with many of them, but we managed to have some surprisingly decent conversations with Google Translate. With a local girl Elvira we could also talk without Google, since she spoke really good English. She was also kind enough to offer us a city tour on Sunday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We met her by the big Lenin statue and started from there to walk around. Elvira was explaining us a lot about the city and shared her reflected opinions about her home country. It was really interesting to listen. She told us, as we had also already somehow realized, that there were not that many actual sights in the city to see. Therefore she had decided to bring us to the <strong>Yeltsin Centre<\/strong>. Russia\u2019s first president Boris Yeltsin was born in this area and therefore the centre was one of the most important sights in Yekaterinburg. It was actually a really good idea to visit there \u2013 besides telling about the president\u2019s life, the exhibitions were also much about Russia\u2019s eventful history in general, so we learned a lot. On the same go we visited two art exhibitions at the same centre. After a snack went to see the most famous church of the city. The interesting thing about this church is that the last tzar family of Russia was murdered on this very place. The autumn had finally arrived to Yekaterinburg and it was getting pretty chilly. Therefore, after seeing the church, we decided to head back and it was time to say goodbye to our new friend. Thank you once again Elvira! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090054-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The modern architecture around Yeltsin Centre\" class=\"wp-image-1627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090054-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090054-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090054-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/P1090054.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The modern architecture around Yeltsin Centre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before leaving Yekaterinburg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On our last day we picked a batch of nice stickers from a print store! We had decided to print some stickers with the address of our blog on them to give people along the way. Finding the print store the first time was really hard, as it was located at some random house without any sign (seems to be the standard in Russia).
