Windows to Russia

We (mainly I) am going to spend up to a month in the Tiny Russian Village. We have too much to do and we hope that we can get it done. Svetochka will go home after a week and try to bring her mother with her when she comes back again in a week or so…

Therefore, we will get mothers home ready for her and we will set up our new home, “Nikolai’s Home”…

I really hope that Sveta and her mother come to stay a few weeks….I promise not to bother them and I will be a good grouchy bear….seriously I promise to be good!

Next year it will be time to try to get the oldest grandkid (New one coming in July?) for the summer at the Tiny Russian Village. This is the Russian way and we need to have both grandma (babushka) and great grandma (pro babushka) there to help me…

Bears are scared of little monkeys, right?

Posting from “Nikolai’s Home” soon…

The corporate media’s editorial standards for reporting on Official Enemies of the US government, especially North Korea, are as low as ever. Blatantly false stories are regularly circulated by leading news outlets without any kind of accountability.

In the latest example of fake news disseminated without any hint of skepticism by America’s top journalists, virtually every major media outlet reported that a senior North Korean official named Kim Yong-chol was supposedly forced into a “labor camp,” as part of a larger deadly “purge.”

Two days later, that same official turned up alive at a public art performance, seated next to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The false story was circulated by The New York Times, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, The Hill, The Daily Beast, Fox News, CNBC, TIME, ABC News, The Financial Times, The Telegraph, VICE, Rolling Stone, The Independent, The Washington Times, The New York Post, HuffPost, France 24, The Japan Times, Haaretz, The Times of Israel, Democracy Now, the US government’s Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, and many more…

I think it is about time that you/we/us/them/those and everyone else as in all of us humans, stopped listening to Western Media and start thinking for yourself…

Virtually 90% plus + of whatever the USA and Marionette governments says or claims, have all been eventually, literally and unquestionably proven to be deliberate manipulative lies. This can be followed back a good hundred years without fail…

An open mind can see it easily…

Makes me sad to think how manipulative my own government has been all my life….it is the same all over the world and from history, it seems to be the same since man started to walk the earth…

Life is nothing but manipulation, agenda and power in all forms…

Google has billions riding upon this new tech and thus, you have Google balking at what the USA is doing to Huawei and Googles future. Talk about cutting your own throat…

Point is that the USA is so far behind the curve that our companies will be set back many years more, if we do not embrace the Chinese technology. Chinese tech has run into the sunset as we gawked and watched that sunset…

It is starting to look like the US took the rope given to them and made a noose…

Just another day for us in Russia… (Another Ticket)

I would imagine that I am the only non-citizen and American to boot, caught in our town. I guess that gives me celebrity status….which I really don’t want…

RIAMO (QUEEN) – 7 Jun.

Citizens were brought to responsibility for the use of alcoholic beverages in public places, for appearing in public places while intoxicated, for speeding on the road, for traffic violations and for disorderly conduct.

I admit it did make me more careful in as, “Looking for cops!” before I and or we act like a normal person and Russian, as we cross the roads…

As an American, I feel privileged to have been caught in their sting operations…

Fluorescent Bulbs Hit a Wall of Grouchy People in Russia…

The florescent bulb went down the tubes and while we still have them, incandescent came back fully twice as strong as before. But, LED’s have taken the market and left all the others behind…

While Svetochka and I were definitely ant-florescent, we have embraced the LED…

It is cheap, as cheap almost as the incandescent with brand to brand & apples to apples comparison and the lifespan is unbelievable. The LED is like an Energizer Bunny and just keeps on going and going…

That makes this guy happy….in 2017 I wrote this below…

Light Bulbs Incandescent…

Now I am writing about how the LED bulb is the best of all worlds and I just love the fact that they have such low heat, high light output, low watts and cheap to boot…

I see LED’s as cheap as 49 rubles for a 60/75/100 watt equivalent output…

And I am not the only one in Russia who sees this…

Amazing…

Therefore, since I write about something in the past, I write about changes to how I feel about something in the future. In this case, while I like incandescent, they do not hold a candle to LED’s…

Lets not even talk about that sucky florescent piece of trash…

A month after their arrival at the Moscow Zoo, giant pandas Ru Yi and Ding Ding finally made their debut to the Russian public on June 5, fulfilling their duty as a symbol of “the friendship between China and Russia.”

The pair, a three-year-old male, and Ding Ding, a two-year-old female, arrived in Moscow on April 29, and will spend 15 years at the Moscow Zoo participating in collaborative research, according to an agreement signed between the Moscow Zoo and the China Wildlife Conservation Association in February.

In April this year, President Xi Jinping announced China’s decision to offer a pair of giant pandas to Russia for joint research during his meeting with President Putin in Beijing.

The two pandas have very different characteristics. Ding Ding, the younger panda, enjoys exploring the surrounding environment. Though living in a strange country, she has quickly adapted to her new residence, playing with toys energetically. Ru Yi, on the other hand, is calmer and less active. Instead of walking around like Ding Ding, he enjoys eating bamboo, as well as sleeping all day.

The pandas have intrigued Russians, with many netizens showing their love for the cute creatures.

“Finally we have pandas in Moscow! Hooray!” Marina Simoniya, a Russian netizen posted on Facebook.

I do not disagree, being an ex-smoker, I have to say, “People that smoke indoors and at the doorways of businesses stink…”

The image to the left is becoming more common in Moscow. This smoking area is at a mall near us and the employees need to smoke here instead of at the door of the mall…

Nothing worse than walking through a wall of smoke as a non-smoker and it is even worse when you are an ex-smoker…

I personally think that this is nice that they even went to the trouble to make a place. It is covered and has a trashcan/ashtray for everyone’s usage…

Makes sense to me…

I am a happy bear….

Russia is tripping the lights with China. I have talked many times about the fact that Russia has to turn east and get away from the west. Everyday, I see things getting better here in Russia and it is nice to watch and experience…

The Shenzhen-based telecom firm Huawei and Russian telecom company MTS have signed an agreement on “the development of 5G technologies and the pilot launch of fifth-generation networks in 2019 and 2020”, according to MTS. The ceremony took place in the Kremlin during a three-day visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, who attended the ceremony along with Russian President Vladimir Putin… (5G Link)

Really it is nice being on a side of the world that still embraces the future. Not a future of trying to stifle the world, but a future of trying to make the world a better place. There is a difference between shaping the world to be your subservient under the sign of death and or shaping the world through advancement of life by embracing the the fullness of time…

Which side are you on and yes, you should really care…

Sveta and I a few days ago had talked about getting the money together to pay the hosting for WtR. It costs us $129 equivalent in USD and while that may seem to be a tiny amount to some, it is a large amount to others. The truth is that our host at 1984 is fantastic and we pay much less than they are worth…

Just do not tell them that, they may raise the price… 😉

No, they are fair people at our hosting…

So the gist of what I am trying to say is that several people have come through and helped with some money to get our hosting paid and not have to take from the home pot, so to say…

Interesting that people seem to know when money is needed…

Thank you very much for the donations…

They do help keep the site online…
