If you’re planning to be in Russia for the World Cup, prepare to act like the locals! Well, not exactly, but prepare to behave according to Russian guidelines or face immediate consequences. Anyone seen not behaving up to standards will be fined immediately.

Anyone attempting to save money on a hotel and sleep at the airport will be sent packing too! Apparently, enough people sleep at airports that SleepingAtAirports.com exists. Its review of Sheremetyevo Airport reads, “The floor is mostly tiled, so bring something to lie on for warmth.” Noted. Around the corner, the rules for drinking in Moscow; you can’t!
