Mindful meoweler tips

Take care when dining out

In Russia, it's customary to leave a small amount of food on your plate as a sign of respect for the host. Additionally, tipping is not common practice in restaurants.

Prepare for the weather

Sochi boasts a subtropical climate, meaning it can get quite hot and humid. Bring lightweight clothing and stay hydrated.

Check out the local tea culture

Russian tea ceremonies are a big part of their culture. Be sure to try some delicious tea and snacks, especially the traditional Russian pancakes called blinis.
