Sweden was nice but rainy, but Russia was almost exactly as I imagined it would be minus the fact it was so sunny (I have been totally ruined by my source material).
I didn't think Sweden would be on Russia's hit list but, dude, every other sentence from the tour guide was "And zis is where the Swedes ruined everything *fist shake*" and the Swedish tour guide was all "lol, nah, they're just pissy because we founded St. Petersburg. IKEA."
Latvia was incredible though. Went on a lot of historical tours. Learnt a lotta things about communism. Now understand why the yankies get all up in arms about it.
Welcome back, Kink! Good luck getting your land legs back and keep that Rasputin Chulu fic on a back burner, would you? Because it sounds like it could be brilliant if you ever get the time or energy to write it!
My illusions about Russia were, of course, not shattered by Russia, as Russian people were kinda like the Germans in their "DON'T TALK ABOUT ZE COMMUNISM" vibes.
I generally hate history, but I'll have a look for it in the library when I get near it again. Might be interesting, thanks!
