When hitch-hiking in [[Russia]] and other [[Eastern Europe|Eastern-European Countries]], beware that some drivers expect money for the ride (especially so, say, at resorts like [[Crimea]] in the Summer). The best thing is to make driver aware you're hitch-hiking '''before''' you get in the car. Otherwise you may find yourself in a bad situation afterwards.

'''Guide to Transcription'''
* '''o''' is pronounced ''[ɔ]'' - "to" is pronounced as "taw" (English pronunciation) etc.
* '''u''' is pronounced ''[ʊ]'' - short ''oo'' in English
* '''Bold''' font is used to indicate the accent on a particular vowel.
* Dashes '''(-)''' are added to make the reading easier - they separate some syllables of the words, but do not introduce any pause in pronunciation.
