Windows to Russia

Putin: Valdai International Discussion Club’s XI session in Sochi on 24 October 2014… The west has blinked and Russia has responded. Do and say what you want, but the west is a world of hurt and the most important speech in modern history has been given, just a few days ago. I watch the speechContinue reading Putin pulls the gloves off and tells it like it is; I mean, tells it like it is…

So far in my life, a cellphone (or is it cell phone?) never survives. I try to be careful and I try to treat it with loving hands. I guess big paws are not easy on delicate things. Regardless my cellphones seem to die an untimely death, be it my fault or someone else fault,Continue reading One thing I am good at is destroying cellphones…

I guess I need to explain and that is what I started to do yesterday and I delayed the post until today. I had 10 comments about why I was stupid enough (and many other choice words included,) to go to Egypt when I have talked about the fact that Russia has banned travel toContinue reading Why we ended up in Egypt…

Then we get to everything else and you find out why I posted very little about what wasContinue reading Back Home in Russia from Egypt…

Well I finally got some internet and not much at that. So I will post a few experiment pictures that I am doing. Took an hour to get these photos uploaded and I have better things to do than watch the upload bar move slowly across the screen… I bought a special sealing bag, madeContinue reading Snorkeling in the Red Sea…
