Are you asking me what the phrase "Russian riddle" means? I don't know any Russian riddles, so I can't provide any examples, but friendly advice --> I can tell you that it most certainly would not be a good name for a travel agency. Most people don't like riddles involved in their travel plans, even if only in name.

Hope that helps!

"Genuine Russia" is better. You might receive some inquiries from Americans asking just how "genuine" it is -- you should ignore these.

Good luck! You should offer packaged travel discounts to the Maya Battle in Moscow next year. Just a suggestion!

I read this post when you first posted it, and was like, yeah looks like a cute playset.
I looked back at your LJ today and saw comments. I thought, "Surely someone else is really enthused at the adorability of those... dolphins? Whatever, they're plush and awesome."

Genuine lols at the randomness of the "interruption" above. I'm glad you were there for him too.

Your blog is so win.

Nah, nobody comments on my blog aside from maybe you and a couple of other people. I'm not even sure anyone reads it. But then again, I kind of like it when art imitates life.

Re: The Finnegans. I haven't spent much time with them (yet - I don't want to destroy their world), but I'm under the impression that they are a family (school?) of vicious, yet fuzzy and fun-loving sharks. I failed to mention that all Furryville playsets come with a storybook and poster, which I have not read.

My favorite Finnegan is the one up in the crow's nest. In real life, he would be dead.

Fin-negans! I get it. har har.

I like the one who's lounging on a deck chair while the others have actual responsibilities. All in all, very awesome playset. I'm psyched to hear about their storybook adventures.

or no, my bad! He fell in and the rowboat Finnegan with the shades and hat has saved him (saved a shark from drowning?) and is pulling him along on a raft. Okay, now I'm very curious about the story for these guys.
