16. Hi sonia! it's so glad to know you and watch your videos, they are helping me so much!
    
    I am so glad that I am going aboard to Russia as my very first time in my life on this month. It feels like I cannot wait to go to Russia!. However, I have some questions, is that right we have to use the original windows on our laptop? some people said that international airport are not allowed fake software or etc. Do you have some advice?
17. Hey David I'm not Sonia but I have your answer depending upon where you live if your Mall has those places set up that might be cheaper than going into your city and doing it there.
    I would also suggest a Mall over your bank, unless you have a checking account with them, savings, credit card and a Mortage then you would get a better rate at your bank than the Mall. but aside from having lots of account set ups The Mall should be your best bet.
    I would pick the Mall over any city and any bank.
18. Hello Sonia, where do you recommend making currency exchanges??
