There are thousands of museums to explore during your trip to Russia and the capital city has just added another one, which happens to be the largest of its kind in all of Europe. The indoor ice sculpture museum at Sokolniki Park occupies over 7,500sq.ft. and is now welcoming visitors to gaze upon various frozen creations.

World famous sculptors used 800 tons of ice and 200 tons of snow to construct a living room complete with ice furniture, a Christmas manger scene, a world of insects, an alien invasion, a prehistoric section with a giant mammoth, and more. Guests can also enjoy the finest Russian vodka in glasses made of ice.

Times have changed and the new generation of Russian brides is very different from what Russian women and girls used to be 10 years ago.

The new generation Russian bride is smart, successful and educated. The conditions in major Russian cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg are similar of any European city. Russian people are proud of their heritage and remember, Russia is still the largest country in the world (nearly double the size of the second geographically largest country in the world, Canada); Russians were the first to send a human into space and Russia's college education level is over 60% of population.

Internet and other modern conveniences such as email and mobile phones are accessible to any person. Russia is a highly urbanized country with the majority of population living in cities, most owing their homes/apartments.

According to some reports there are more dollar billionaires in Moscow than in New York (thanks to very favorable Russian tax policies), and Russia is a primary importer of European luxury cars.

So, what does it mean for the new generation of Russian brides, who are joining online dating agencies today?

We have heard these before many times. We may have helped others prepare a wedding speech. Trust, this is very different from giving that speech yourself. The world changes totally when you are on the other side of the table. What you had been hearing till now, has to be delivered by you. You need all of confidence on that day, even a thought may cross your mind - I wish I weren't here or that why somebody just didn't invent a time machine? Giving wedding speech is not all that difficult as it is made out to be. We have lot of questions before preparing the wedding speech. If you follow a particular plan to achieve this, you will not only be able to deliver a perfect speech, you will enjoy it.

That’s right..

And I’m pointing my finger right through the computer screen at YOU..

So let me say it again..

(cause it make Dr. Evil Feel good)

ALL YOU WOMEN.. AND ALL YOU MEN ARE COMMODITIES!

Oh.. Yeah.. and maybe me too..

So let me cut to the chase here..

Understanding Basic Economics is all you really need to know about life..

EVERYTHING and EVERYONE has value based along 3 primary variables..

I just heard an unbelievable story from a lady friend of mine who works in a local business office.

A Woman walked into her office and introduced herself as a Manager for a new Marriage Agency in town.

She was specifically pitching “a new service” to the older single women in the office. And there are many of them as you can imagine. These women are at a huge competitive disadvantage because of the great numbers of younger women that are available here.

So the Marriage Agency Lady starts telling the older women (and I need to paraphrase here)..

“Look we know you want to find an American Husband and we are going to do that for you. What we will do is take a photo of you and we will photoshop it and make you look up to 20 years younger. Then we will post this photo along with a profile about you that any American Man would dream about on one of their Dating Sites and then we will start writing letters to Men we find on your behalf. It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak English or if you have a Poor Education we will “change” all of that for you.”

“All you need to do is give us some money and “we will take care of all of this”.. And you will be in business.”

So, it's a little late you want, but at least I remembered it correctly?

In any case, ladies and gentlemen, we have officially passed 1 year mark for this blog. Do not know what to expect when we all started in this adventure, but it was a hell of ride so far and a lot of fun sharing experiences I had with this incredible Russian women.

Again I want to deeply thank you all for your support and participation.

Although I am happy in the midst of beginning a new life and family, I want to tell you that there are some really great events coming up on the horizon.

In-case you were wondering where I was recently ..

2 weeks ago I finally decided to make the big switch from dumping Windows Vista and install Ubuntu.

For those of you not there .. technogeeks

Ubuntu just the Linux operating system bundled with a very user-friendly graphical interface and applications with open source.

On the day the Soviet Union of Education in Russia, once free, and almost everyone who tried to enter some university, institute or college graduation, right. Then there was a popular joke. Russian abbreviation for "High School", which is in Russian, "High School" (higher education), women need to understand, "Finding the right man" (Exit successfully married). Marriages between Russian women and foreigners are relatively rare, and that Russian women will be looking for a good wife in Russian men.


Of course, then there are some women in Russia, who sailed the sea, the hair of large enterprises or gave themselves to science. However, it was pretty much the exception than the rule. The most important thing for Russian women have always been their family, children and spouses, and that's why they chose to do the jobs that do not require too much time and effort, and not distract This form of their duties at home. Career has been quite the prerogative of men and will always be associated with men, although Soviet ideology pretended that men and women are equal in their rights.

24-year-old Anna Sharevich is another example of the eye opening of intellectual talent from the former Soviet Union.

Usually I always enjoy a demonstration to the ladies, as it is to spell different races stereotypes that exist about Russian women.

But I must admit, the image of chess Russian beauty says, "checkmate" is a stereotype I do not mind the promotion at all. ;)
