My Russian Experience

[Inna]

this is another one of my favorite photographs...I found it so interesting b/c majority of the highway scenery was just filled with empty land or farms and then all of a sudden we just drove through this factory/chemical plant and see all this technology.



I dont know what their called in English but in Russian its berozie...these are my favorite trees, its one of the things I missed most about Russia


This is overlooking my cousins apartment in Moscow..one of the nicer places of Russia


And this is a pic of a village in Russia called Shakti..one of the poorer places in Russia


It was interesting how so many statues and symbols that are still standing in Russia that represents the old Communist days...this was taken in Belgorod, and right across this symbol there was still a statue of Lenin

Wow Inna. Your experience in Russian was pretty interesting. Thank you for providing us with some insight into the lifestyle. I always wondered how it was like over there.

Armenia is somewhat similar to what you described, but a little different. There's "some" customer service, but most of the time it's like the way you described it.

Did you ever visit St. Petersburg?
How is it like, if you did?
I've seen pictures of the place and had always wanted to go there.

OHHH...peter (St.petersburg) greatest city EVER!!!

In fact, my mom was born in Peter:

STUD the most interesting period in Peter is the *White Nights*(in the end of June),when there is no darkness in the night and the sky is light and u don't want to sleep.Its VERY beautiful.
