Start my travels tomoorrow...

Well for an Update. I will be slowly updating Photobucket of the pictures I took while in Moscow this week. Just bear with me since I have 728 photos that each one is nearly 2.3 Meg per picture to upload so it will take me some time. But a few CP'ers got a little preview of them so I will let them pipe in if they want too. :thumbs:
 
Except for the road signs, this could be Cincinnatti, Houston, or just about any major metro area in the US. Welcome back, Loren!
 
Lived in Russia for 6 months a few years back (my wife is russian), wonderful place and such an amazing experience.

Did you get a chance to play Russian Pyramid (billiards)? Quickly became my favorite pass-time during our stay, frequented the local billiard club 3-4x a week and often stayed till 6am, made a lot of friends even though they didn't speak english and my Russian was very poor.

There were no cigar stores where we stayed, but I made due with what I managed to pick up duty free at the charles de galle airport during our flight transfer on the way there.

Was incredible to stay there for such a lengthly period, seeing the seasons change was quite the experience. During the summer it was surprisingly hot, we'd go down to the river near our apartment and with a few beers we'd take in the sun.

Sounds like you had a great time, your pictures are great.
 
Very interesting Loren, Moscow of '08 reminds me of London in '67, and the ladies in your study group are nice. :) :thumbs: Thank for the pictures, i feel as though i was with you all the way. Prost!
 
I'm glad you enjoyed them Sack. The next step is putting titles to all the pictures. I now have a new keyboard after a Decade of using the same one. Its a Russian/English keyboard and I'm still trying to get used to some of the keys as they are different than what I am used too. :laugh:

Great photos, Loren. A kangaroo! ??? :D

I am a bit disappointed though as I was hoping for more booty shots. ;)

I'm researching this other place so that I may go back for 1 year of studies next year. Trying to get some answers clarified first since some of its
pretty vague. I know the place is legit and all that. If I am going to fly 7000+ miles one way, I like to get some answers first. :thumbs:
