I am in the mood to let you see things of Russia and Moscow that you may not have ever seen before. In the USA people most likely think of a garage as being part of your home. Or maybe a free standing building that houses both cars and Dads other toys. 🙂 A building […]

Amazon has opened the app store up very soon to 200 countries and now they are building a huge warehouse and shipping center in Russia. This is wonderful and the more internet giants […]
