Russia: amazing

Now here I am, reminiscing about how only a year ago I was savoring the White Nights and watching Russians stand at the foot of the Neva, drinking bottles of champagne and cheering for the boats as they passed under the open bridges. There is something so intoxicating about Russia, it is hard to explain when people ask me, “Russia? How was that for you?” My response: Amazing.

Awww... Russia... It's amazing, isn't it? All those white nights and boats and champaigne and babushkas and wallpaper.

Damn, I miss it( ... )
