When you visit or live in a foreign country, it’s always the little differences that stand out the most.
And if you spend more than one week in Russia, you will quickly discover that Russians are not keen on drinking cold beverages. It’s not their cup of tea. Tea is their cup of tea. And it should be very hot tea. Ideally with lemon. Spasibo.
Yes, apparently Russians do not drink cold water because they’re afraid of getting sick.
Seriously. These people will jump into freezing lakes, but won’t drink a cup of ice water? Because they’re afraid of catching cold?
And these are the same people who crushed a million (rough approximation) SS divisions? If Hitler had known about Stalin’s Achilles’ heel – an ice cold Fanta – the Axis Powers might have conquered the whole world.
Oh well. According to our Russian Russia expert, if you can’t deal with Russia’s many delightful quirks: too bad! (Elizabeth finds a much more poetic way of saying this.)
Of course, there’s another way of looking at this strange phenomenon: Why are Americans so obsessed with cold drinks? We demand answers.
