2. Do you Google?

This beautiful illustration was done by a young Russian artist for Doodle-for-Google. It is one of many lovely interpretations done for the contest in 2012, which was the first year it was hosted in Russia. The contest's theme was "My City. My Country." By Anastasia Nelaeva of Olenegorsk.

5. McCaviar anyone?

You wont find anything like this in the US! Many European countries have tried this sort of thing, with fast food lobster burgers and such, but they never stick around too long.

Pallas’s cat, also called the manul, is a small wild cat found in the likes of Russia and Central Asia. Pallas’s cat was named after the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who first described the species in 1776 under the binomial Felis manul.
