Interesting. What brought you to Russia? How do you feel about the government there? I hear they kill members of the press as well as random foreign spies. I know a person who left Russia in a hurry on a train with a shotgun ready to kill before his family was killed.

I've never been to Russia. I lived in Norway as a kid. I'd like to visit Russia some day. I love the colorful onion buidings. I remember my Poppa bringing home pictures from his trip there and those buildings were my absolute favorites!

That has appeared in my dreams. So fucking cool!

Well, it's hard to say what brought me to Russia, but I've been here since the day I was born (((:

I don't know to be honest about a guy with shotgun. But bad things do happen from time to time, well as in any country I believe.

Onion buildings are actually churches (((:

You certainly should visit Russia, there's lots of things to see.

Intersting response. I always liked hearing the stories about the gray market and such (if I'm using that term correctly).

Anyhow, I'm sure the Russian government is lucky. It won't be anytime soon I'm fleeing the US with a shotgun (I HOPE). :)

I will certainly visit one day. I hope to travel the world.

Здравствуйте!

Я русский, москвич. Не знаю, как я нашёл Ваш жж. Дело было вечером, делать было..)))

Вобщем, я искал нешто о России для форинерс. Вот, нашёл Вас. Поэтому позвольте Вас наблюдать! Очень интересен взгляд на Россию человека, который живёт не только в России (как я понял))) и, который экспортирует свой взгляд. Интересны так же и мнения тех, кто Вас читает=комментирует.

Спасибо!

Незачто (:
Читайте если интрересно, только если будете комментировать, то желательно на английском.
