I think up to the end either I was influencing too many of you, or two many of your were influenced by me. Honestly though, I'm glad you've all grown a mind of me... in your own mind.

And for Russia, with love, I send my dough in the form of a nice spicy vodka and Dr. Pepper. Mmmmm, Russians you are a terrible thing, so dirty (bomb) and sexy at the same time. How terrible!

People tell me that most Russians are generally depressed. All the Russians that I know seem to be very happy. Of course, all the Russians that I know don't live in Russia anymore.

The only Russian I know is married to my cousin. He's a nice guy, but very goofy.

Hey! Shouldn't that thing be on a leash?


;D

Karen lived in St. Petersburg for 3 or 4 months. In the winter. It was extremely depressing.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I was there for about a week in the summer.

Had some good food. Had some mediocre food. Had good shopping.

But everything is drab and the infrastructure (plumbing, electricity, et al) is all visible. It would be a hazard for Spider-Man.

Hmm. Well, any city that isn't Spider-Man friendly is no friend of mine!
