Here's a cool pic, Stephen. The Kiev Metro Bridge. In my opinion, the most modern part of the Great City. Well, it WAS built in the 50s or 60s, but still...
Once again, I apologise if the image is too big. It's the best one I could find. |

| I never said russians hate thier country BC...so lets not make false statements. Also I served in the middle East off and on for 4 years. My family also lived in Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon all throughout the 1970s I also pariticipated in Somalia & Iraq. And some of my military training is in terrorism and counter terrorism. I've been to Bahrain, UAE, have also been to Iran, Afghanistan, Uzebekistan, Kyrgistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Khazakstan, Algeria, Niger, Chad, Russia, I lived in Japan for 1 year...and was married to a Japanese national for 7 years. I also served in Korea...have been to China, Singapore, Malaysia, Austrailia, Armenia, and Yes to Russia, and to France, Germany, not to mention Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, and all over the USA. I leave in 3 weeks to go to the Ukraine...where I will spend 2 months. Will also go to Turkey, Moldova, Romania, the Crimea, and Bulgaria. And if I can I would like to visit Poland too. But we shall see. So I like to see, meet, and experience other places and cultures. I like politcs and pay close attention. Canada is a great place...but there is a lot to this world |

And you wonder why I pick on your comprehension skills. Let me quote my post. Please don't make me do this three times.

Surfey No offence, but who are you trying to fool? that would mean you spent 21 years (at least) of your life fighting terrorists, in foreign lands. What are you some kind of CIA James Bond? How old are you then? |

Looks like some of the towns I've seen in Poland, and, a little bit, like those in Czechoslovakia, when I went there on vacation with my grandfather, when I was a kid. |

Surf if you go to Poland go to the Lemkivshchyna region in the Carpathian mountains of southern Poland. That's where my father's from right along the border of Slovakia a small village called Szczawnica...LOL...it's pronounce Chef-av-nitsa...

He's 35. A 14 year old can fire a gun. They do it all the time in Gaza, and Iraq. |

Well, I was going to go and see Ekaterina in Moscow, but I bought another boat instead, so I guess it'll have to wait till maybe next year. But you have fun. And borrow your daddy's camera while you're there, would you. I'd like to see some actual pictures from all these places you claim you've been to. |

If you say so. But that's not the idea one would have gotten from your post when you returned from Kazan.

The toilet paper was in a tight roll with no hole..so you either had to leave it on the floor ..gross...or on a sink..if water gets on it it's like a sponge you can't use it again. Also, the mosquitos are the size of baby bats...only kidding..however, they are big in Kazan..and the hotel windows had no screens so if you open the window the mosquitos and flies...yes flies at this time of the year are sleeping in your room with you. One more time I have to say the air quality is the worst..I was all choked up the minute I walked out on to the street. Shocked |
