Moscow comes to mind at the mention of Russia. So when I was selected as an international volunteer at the 45th WorldSkills Competition in Kazan, I couldn’t help but feel a little curious.

I had never heard of Kazan before but as I am adventurous, I went ahead and bought a Russian phrase book and installed a translation app in my phone.
