Leaving Russia :(

Well the time simply has flown. I've been here a few days over 4 months and loved almost every second of it. For anyone who thinks Russia is cold grey and miserable, with ugly people and lousy food, it couldn't be further from the truth. The country is so unbelievably beautiful (as are the ladies heehee) and I've been sweating constantly for the last few months.
Sadly though, all good things must come to an end. We're leaving for Moscow tomorrow after the football on a hilariously long 32 hour train ride to Moscow and then a flight back to London. Sad.
Things I loved:
People (hot women especially of whom there is a abundace)
Food (seriously - very tasty)
Weather
Moscow
Krasnodar
Sochi
Krasnaya Polyana and the Caucasus
Black Sea
Azov Sea
The fashion sense of Russian men
Caucus gangsters
The surprisingly helpful Russian police
The fucking hard but very rewarding language
Things I didn't love:
Living 3-in-a-room in Uni halls
Mosquitos
Being rubbish at Russian at the beginning
Having to write a 3,000 word dissertation in Russian and then subsequently having to type it up in Russian on their hilarious keyboards
All in all, a good trip. Any meets going down this summer? I can come and regale you with tales of my travels to the former CCCP (Ñîþç Ñîâåòñêèõ Ñîöèàëèòè÷åñêìõ Ðåñïóáëèê). Great days.

True stuff!
Now college is over I am gonig to try to learn Russian. Yay!
Well, man, you seem to have majourly enjoyed your time... I hope to go there oneday.
Remember to bring back lots and lots of lovely Russian Vodka!
Hate to disappoint you, but best vodkas are not Russian.
My favourite is Zhubrowka from Poland, but I hear the Scandinavian Vodkas are superb.
Also, there's a few Russians round your area I am sure you can find a willing girl to teach you her mother tongue, you get me!!
Heheh, if I find one, I most certainly shall.;)
Pfft, Russians Vodka is best. Ghzelka Square... yeah baby!
And buy some Stoli.... its the best easily availible Vodka. Head to Sainsburys for it.:thumb:
I used to drink Stoli....until I tasted Zhubrowka.
i'd die.
