BAIKAL 2025 in Winter ❄️ -27 c 🥶

A city that is freezing cold, so cold that your hands hurt and your face turns red, like a frozen omul (when I went, the coldest was -27 degrees, around -20 during the day, if it was any colder, I wouldn't be able to handle it). But the view is stunning, the people have serious faces but are secretly kind and helpful, even though they speak 100% Russian. The food + beer + wine + Vodka is very cheap and delicious too. 🥂
