I was just wondering if some things are true. She lives in Berdsk and she tells me that very very few people in town have telephone service(1-2 in the whole town). Is this true? How do most people in Russia get around? By train, busses , or cars. How do most people in Russia feel about Americans Thank you for your anwser in advance Gman

Berdsk is a small town, but to say that only 1 or 2 people have telephones would be crazy. Take a look at the official website of Berdsk at http://berdsk.al.ru/ (there's an English version as well) and see how many companies that advertise there have telephone numbers. To answer the other questions: most of Russians get around by buses or walking most people in Russia feel indifferent towards Americans and have a strong dislike for president Bush (this is what I learned making interviews for the Russian People section of our site). There's a good POST on this, actually, here: http://www.waytorussia.net/TalkLounge/viewtopic.php?p=1521&highlight=#1521 by Randy

Russians are AWESOME!!!!!, fun, and friendly, the food is great and the drink better! My suggestion GMAN is this, if you feel nervous then check on her, go to google and type in "RUSSIAN SCAMMERS" and you will find tons of information about women who are not honest..
