Thrifty and Good Shopping in Novgorod, Russia

No matter how I deny to my mates, I guess I cannot pretend that the first thing that comes to my mind when I journey is to shop. I just fancy bringing home several local souvenirs from the countries that I visit to remind me of the wonderful memories that I had in traveling. So, when I went to Russia, I did not waste the shot to go shopping in Novgorod where Russia's different antique shops, department stores, and trendy markets thrive.

Novgorod is well-known for its different outdoor markets that vend cheap products such as food and souvenirs. If you are a tripper, and you have a little budget in your stay in the city, Novgorod is the ideal venue to shop. When I reached Novgorod, I saw counters in the market where I was able to bargain fresh meat, dried fish, nuts, and coffees. There were also counters that vend cute Russian matrioshka, fancy amber accessories, and fancy varnished chests. The latest merchandise that Russians buy today is the delicious imported tea from England or India. Other merchandises that can be observed in the market in the city are cakes, pastries, cookies, dried fruit, and chocolate.

I had a wonderful experience in journeying and shopping in Novgorod, and I can't wait for my next visit there!
