Sounds exactly like the Moscow region also, except you wait until 5,000' to transition to meters. Also, nobody realizes it but they have speed schedules for you to go by but never, ever use them.Shanghai is the absolute worst. They don't tell you which arrival to expect until it's time to fly it, you have to find whatever strange fix it is where your arrival ends to find the transition to the approach. THEN as soon as you have your poo in a pile they pull you off it.
Plus meanwhile you're having to convert stuff from feet into meters.
Edit: And just to mess people up, St. Petersburg went to QNH ops at the beginning of the month but everywhere else in Russia, as far as I know, is QFE.
