Well perhaps you may get lucky.
How are your travel plans and language classes going? |

That's a lot of time for a first visit. I wonder how quickly you will be disappointed and will want to return. |

I hope a few of those signs are traffic signs. Could get dangerous.  |

The first time I went there it was for a month and ended up being three. Maybe jojo will like it so much she wil never leave. Or maybe she will be so lost that she won't be able to find her way out. |

It's only 3 weeks. That is not a long time in Russia. Besides, I will be staying in a nice place (St. Pete) with my friends cousins. I plan on being very busy seeing everything for 3 weeks. The only thing that will keep me from going is college and so far it is still looking good.
I don't think I will get lost. I know enough Russian to get around. |

You will be fine and 3 weeks is enough to see what there is |

You know, Jojo, that's nice that you worked hard to prepare yourself for a trip to Russia, and I'm sure, that with your polite and friendly demeanor, that you'll have a wonderful time. Good luck in your travels. ( Watch out for the Счастливый сок )
Don't forget your camera, I want to see pictures of your trip. Seems we'll never see any from the Ukraine.  |

I did. I really do hope you have a great time. You are a very nice lady. You will be a wonderful ambassador for America. Stay as long as you can. You may not get another chance. I miss the freedom I had when I was younger. I should probably have made a few trips overseas, but I didn't. Perhaps I can vacation vicariously, through you. Just don't get as drunk as I would. |

Thank you for the compliment, that was nice of you to say that.....Bud, you need to go to Russia. You are still young. You miss the freedom? You live in Canada and surrounded by beautiful country...there's your freedom...everybody has responsbilities. What is stopping you from going to Russia for a few weeks or wherever?
I am going, regardless!!! I may come back broke or I may not come back...maybe I might make some new friends and decide to stay. |

Responsibilities are exactly what stops me. I have friends in pretty much every country in the world. I just have to pay for my life, and it's not cheap. Plus, I really like where I am. I have traveled all over North America, because it's easy. I really don't have a month or two to spare, for an overseas trip, although it would definitely be nice. But, we'll see.

If you want a real adventure, go to Pripyat. It's an abandoned city in Ukraine, really close to Chernobyl... once was a striving community of 50,000... now just 50 soldiers and 13 dogs... Damn Gorbachev!  Anyways, you get to stay in an abandoned apartment, where everything is exactly as people left it when they evacuated. It's fucking scary! My brother went once, it gave the chill of his life! If you're into extreme tourism, Pripyat's a place for you! |
