Time to make some of you happy

[Collegeboy]

I shall be leaving for proximately a month and a half. I will be leaving friday morning on my way to fly to London, where I will spend three days, then off to St. Petersburg, Russia. There I will further my understanding and knowledge of the Russian language and culture.

Behave while I am gone, for I will hate to have to come back and correct some of you.

Have fun in The Mother-land.

[-Carnifex-]

Have a good trip man.

Have fun Collegeboy.

As they say in Russian:

Your Motherland Calls!
(i take russian in school so... yea..)

This should be correct. You would say it "Tvoi Rodina Maht"

Very True, Sam...

BUT.... You know our Boy. Somehow he'll find a way to get into the Kremlin and tell Putin how he's doing it all wrong.

Good luck College boy. Have fun and learn a lot.

[Vegeta]

Good luck. I have always wanted to go, maybe see if I could dig up anything on ancestors, but most likely not.

Try not to get in trouble, or on the bad side of anyone. We don't wanna hear that you died in a carbomb or something.

Have a great time… but keep in mind that what you learn when in Russia is NOT really anything close to being what most Russians live like, think, feel, etc. You can not really learn much about a culture by taking a field trip. You will see what they want to show to the world, not what really is most of the time.

To learn about a culture by being there, you have to LIVE with them for extended periods of time. Snapshots of life taken while on a trip don’t cut the mustard.

I will be living with them for a month and a half. (with a Russian family.) But I now what you are saying, and I don't expect to take anything from this trip other then furthering my knowledge of the language and the culture.

Bring us back some Caviar. Have fun.

[shinobidice]

You know some of the russian language right? that might be helpful

[breg]

Have fun out there man.

From what I rmemeber of english food, it's really bland.

But Russia should be lots of fun. Try not to bring back any mail order brides.

[Collegeboy]

Yes I know a little bit of Russian.

The problem with caviar is it taste like what 3 day old fish smells like.

I know a little Russian....his name is Vadim!

Good riddance, er Good bye!
