Hello all! Remember me? I was the 19 year old going to Moscow to visit my girlfriend. Well Im Back. My vacation was wonderful. Alot different from the U.S. I have to many stories and pictures. I am going to make a website with all pictures but i forget alot of my HTML skills. So it will take a week or so. I counted 9 black people in all of Moscow and there are bums everywhere. The police there are a$$holes, especially the ones in army cloths. It was sad to see all the randoms dogs roaming around. But the cathederals and museums are great. Russian food is not as bad as a i thought. I Love Shasleek (i dont know the correct spelling) and the salads. You Russians drink Tea (chai) alot. I furthered my learning in the Russian Language. Alcohol is everywhere i go, every 10 meters i can buy some. Russian drivers are crazy, its not like philadelphia were i can cross the street and the cars will slow down or atleast stop....not in Russia tho..haha. I experienced 2 Dachas. The people there are really good people but communication was difficult but they all tried to talk to me (all my G/F's friends). I Loved Moscow and 19 days was just not enough i wanna go back it was sad to leave. I found i have been laid off from work as soon as i got back (that was the whole point of me coming home so soon for work) But now i have no job and i have to wait til the summer for my girlfriend to come back. I will post back more stories as soon as i get more rest. Thank you all PAKA!

i agree... it's too short....
i even felt some repulsion when i got back to my tidy, overorganised country when i got back end of april last year. fortunately i'll be back in russia at the end of next week.

by the way: good luck with your greencard Wink
