I'm not gonna be able to get a job due to the time I'll spend traveling to explore the lifestyle of the Russian cities competing to become the Cultural Capital 2027. If Vologda, with its rich cultural heritage and architectural significance, wins the title, it would be an interesting experience to work there.
