I was at an office the other day and I saw something that just moved me..

It made me realize that there was another kind of picture that I needed to add to this mosaic that I’ve been trying to paint for you.

On the floor where I stood, there was what seemed to be a lone cleaning lady moping the hallway of a long office corridor.. She was wearing a long bright blue apron that all cleaning ladies typically wear here. She and her worn out mop were busy dealing with the grime that was dragged in from the street due to an all too common lack of paved roads and walkways. If it rains like it did on this day then there are always muddy foot prints to follow and this young woman was unfortunately having one of those days.

Well I won’t be having any turkey for Thanksgiving since it’s next to impossible to find here and unfortunately it isn’t so popular in Russia.

So all of you Guys will just have to make sure that you help yourself to an extra serving of delicious food for me! Oh an don’t forget the gravy too..

Now if you can believe it..

I’ve NEVER met a local Russian Person who has ever had a chance to eat Turkey.. (and yes I know this is a Serious Bummer as far as they’re concerned)

One of the things that’s always appealed to me about Russian Women is just how happy and comfortable most of them seem to be in their own skin.

This is one of those deep feminine mysteries that I will probably never be able to figure out as a Man. Especially since using words to describe this just may be a futile attempt..

But it’s something that I can certainly FEEL when I around them.

And also..

I believe that it’s something that I can show a little bit of as well..

I must admit that getting engaged to a woman is unbelievable really helps you get some perspective.

Your world view changes noticeably, and you begin to recognize more ..

What is real in my life ..

.. And what is not.

Let me explain.

I think the most impressive thing is to hear her actually speak. Looking at pictures is one thing but to get an idea of ​​what she says to me the most.

Well, finally, we promised to post more videos Masha answer some questions that have previously been presented from the earlier post.

Thank you all for your patience ..

But most of all thanks to Mary for volunteering their time and energy for all of us.

If you read my previous stories about the meeting Inessa and her lovely family ..

You might recall that I was very impressed by the level of warmth and hospitality that I received from them when I arrived in Siberia.

In short, I was incredibly moved ..

I had a feeling that something special, as it had to happen, so I decided to be prepared.

Previously, before my arrival, I took it upon myself to take a collection of photos I Inessa was combined them into a collage for her and her mother.

I created a nice 8 x 10 glossy .. framed it nicely .. And then embellished it with some decent wrapping paper.

There is a fierce snowstorm raging outside the Siberian right now.

Cars crawl on the icy road, and a small army of excavators are in effect trying to clean up mountains of blinding snow that Mother Nature is dumping on us.

I feel like a member of the Alliance was hiding on the ice world Although right now.

It's really unpleasant and unforgiving out there.

Hello beautiful Miss Kate.

Kate bright and "charming" young lady from Central Kazakshtan.

She enjoys learning English and has a great desire to use their knowledge and prepare for a future trip to Europe and the United States, that she often dreams about.

I met her last week in a friendly game of Texas Hold'em, which I was invited. She was there as a friend girl friend .. or something like that ..

Ex-Soviet countries of Latvia came up with an ingenious way to put yourself on the map.

They recently held their first annual "Blonde parade" in the capital Riga. Local residents decided to fight "the blues" associated with them as a serious economic recession with an overwhelming touch "pink" instead.

I must admit it's certainly brought a big smile on my face, to hear about it.

And I'm sure it will for you too. ;)
