I'm planning my Fall Trip to Europe. I had for months got excited to go to St. Petersburg, Russia in October as prices are pretty damm low in fall. However, I ran into a Hulu video " From Russia with Hate" that showed skinheads killing and beating up Asians and blacks. And than after that I read articles and watched youtube videos on the subject. Now I am torn whether its worth the risk. I am Chinese.

I have a strong itch to see Europe but not tourist Europe so I ruled out the usual Italy, London, Paris thing. I thought Russia was a bit off the beaten path so that was my choice. Still love to go but you know, I'm not Jackie Chan.

What do you guys that have been to Russia think? I'm thinking about seeing Poland and Germany instead now.

im asian and im making fun of you...

im sure you can find videos of people beating up asians and blacks here in the US, does that mean you should be a pussy here?

and what is with the bullshit you said about wanting to go to the "tourist" europe, but then being scared to go off the beaten path, you fail.

I'd say Germany and Poland regardless. More stuff to see I'd say. Cleaner too. I've never had the urge to visit Russia or even eastern Europe. If you have some undying urge to visit Russia, then by all means, go for it; but I would stick to the more populated areas for my trip. Even though there are undoubtedly skin heads in Germany and Poland lol, I'd say it's a safer bet and more desirable with more things to do, in my opinion that is.

Have you seen the riot videos from Canada? Don't go there either...

Seriously, most tourist spots in Russia will be safe, just don't go off the beaten path or at night.
