One of the more crazy things that has been done is to travel alone into the vastness of the largest country in the world, Russia. Scary taxi-drivers, hard surfaces on just about anyones face and nobody speaking english (or wanting to).
Russia is one of those places where one shouldn't travel without a guide and where corruption can be felt without actually experiencing it. In many countries you can understand how money falls into many pockets on it's way from the buyer to the seller, but here you can just guess while you're doing the transaction (payment for something).
I believe that Russia is the one countries that will become richer and richer as we, the human race is exhausting the resources of mother earth. Not so much just due to the fact that they have many natural resources, more due to the fact that the native people is smart and very, very proud, and yes, am not frightened of going the less legal way to reach their goal, as long as they reach it.
