Winter in Russian Far East


Continuing the topic of Vladivostok and the Russian Far East, here is a pretty crazy video of how it is difficult to drive in winter in the Russian Far East. It is difficult to drive in Vladivostok in general, since most of the cars in the city are from Japan. Yes, you are reading it right - it is difficult to drive in Vladivostok, because most of the cars are FROM JAPAN. Someone would say, "So what? Japanese cars are prevalent in many countries, but it doesn't make things harder". Yes, but most of the cars in the Russian Far east are made FOR Japan, a left-driving country, with the steering wheel on the right side of the car.... and Russia is a RIGHT-DRIVING country that would normally require right-driving cars, that is with steering wheel on the LEFT!

Other than the Japanese cars, the winter there reminds me of winters here in Canada, in particular the driving.

In Canada, they take care of the roads in the winter time and people use studden tires. In our Vladivostok, you won't see a whole a lot of that..
