The suckiest part of living abroad is watching it all just turn into some generic mess that looks just like America. I went to one of the new shopping malls today, and except for the fact that there aren't as many clinically obese people, and the fact that some of the signs were in Russian, I might as well have been in Iowa City or Spokane.
Still no Starbucks yet; coffee shops have really caught on in Moscow and St. Petersberg, but (fortunately) not really out here in the provinces. There's a big glitzy one right up the street from my house now, but it looks like it's empty most of the time.

Jeez, ETX, you still in Russia??? I last visited this website about 2 years ago, can't believe you're still there, man.
Anyway, it's good to know you've got the DOS job, good luck with it!

Russian Women are the most fantastically hot women on the planet, hands down! Just imagine the body of a black woman, with white skin and blonde hair, and the temper of a latina woman. What is not to love!!
And the morals of a crack whore. . .
