Total Posts: 199 | Tomorrow I leave to Russia for about two weeks. I recently came back from a trip to New York city, which was no vacation... too much stress. Well that explaines my absense prior to this, and my Russia trip will explain my absense for a couple weeks starting tomorrow.
For those curious, I am going to Moscow. Fun fun fun, and my Russian should get better :P I had to endure one of my mother's coworker's insults at my bad Russian, but that will be improved :) |

Well I am at Russia right now, nearby Moscow... its so awesome! I'm going back to Moscow (the capital) today and im having a blast! Last friday was awesome, I went out with my uncle and his wife (early twenties, so they were cool) and we drank and went crazy till like 5am here! On saturday night I went witht them to a birthday party, which was fun, because I was the only American there, but there was this girl who could speak english (she graduated in an American university) and she was nice... I think I'm getting her number and when I go back to Moscow I'll hang out... but now I'm in our family summer house and its the first time I check my email O well, hanging out with russian 23yr olds is fun, and its so lenient here, my parents let me go wherever I want at night... there are casinos everywhere, the city is much bigger than NYC, and the streets are bigger than highways, traffic isnt congested, its so nice... and this summer house is awesome, its like halfway from worcster to boston distance from moscow, and its so great, much better than USA, i have to admit. Well I speak very good Russian already, and I learn so much at the same time Although getting drunk would be fun, I wanna remember everything so I hold myself But I cant say much, in order to get the idea i would need to talk to you guys! theres so much stuff here, I dont wanna even leave Sad But I leave saturday (well, saturday here) so I will talk to you all at school! I hope you all have awesome summers! I'm so coming back here to get married The people here are so nice, and I can relate so much more easily than back home Sad Well TTYL

Total Posts: 2486 | lol, its indeed a good place to go on vacation but not as good to live in. esp. moscow as stuff is very expensive there, its like russian beverly hills almost. though, much has changed since i left the country 7.5yrs ago so i may be wrong about some things.

Total Posts: 199 | I came back to the States. Well, Russia is cheaper than the United States if you go on vacation, because after converting money, your dollars are worth almost 40% more in Russia than in the States. The problem is, if you _live_ there, the salaries you recieve are alot less. Therefore it is expensive to live there. The apartments are very expensive indeed. However, if you have relatives, it becomes a very cheep vacation. In fact, we spent only $400 for 9 days for 5 people. That never happens in America. But if we needed a hotel, we would probably have spent thousands.
Moscow has changed dramatically since you left, Z. It is much brighter than New York now, business is booming, there are 30 foot televisions on every block for advertising, casinos that light the city up at night, and its a very nice place. I spent many sleepless nights simply going all over the city to all the places. Pictures on postcards do not do the city respect. It has changed too much. This was be my 5th time there, but my most recent was 7-8 years ago. I cant even remember Russia when I was born there, but it is much different that 7 years ago.
Pictures will be posted on my website. I have many photos, I just need to collect them from CDs and such. Most have me in them because they were taken by my dad or others, because I dont have a good camera.

I noticed many things have happened in my absence, including the new AMS for the Titanium and v200. Has anyone tested these with older programs, say, like CalcRogue, Tankers, or Kirby? Does ghostbuster and HW3 patch work on it?
