I’ve been to Russia twice, the last time being 2005. Moscow twice and once took the 26 hour train ride from Moscow to Ufa where my X wife was from. One day while boarding the Metro in Moscow, the door opened and young man was laying passed out on the floor just inside the door with a couple bottles of Vodka rolling around the floor next to him :grin:. Not one person checked on him to see if he was ok, everyone just walked over him like he wasn’t there. :rofl: No one checked on him, however one man took the one half drank Vodka bottle that was rolling around with him when he departed the subway. :rofl:

Me in Red Square in March 2003 holding my Coke from McDonalds. :blush: I had plenty of Vodka in my time there, but on this day, it was only a Coke.

I really want to see Russia, but I never had the opportunity.

So this box will also bring you to the point :joy::clinking_glasses:

I am glad I went, but never had the urge to go back. I went in the winter months because the plane tickets were so much cheaper (for obvious reasons). :rofl: I have been pretty fortunate traveling getting to see a lot of the world. I have been to Hawaii, Bahamas, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and the Philippines, where I currently live. My father drove a truck and has been in all 48 mainland US states, but I think I have only been in maybe a third of them.

I love the Philippines, but hate the way they drive, and I really miss Walmart and self checkout. :blush:

You have so many stories, you could write a book

Most of my stories are based on my life’s bad decisions, so it would be a book on “what not to do”. :rofl: I should have never married the Russian lady, which would have eliminated my ever going to Russia. However, we have a 19 year old son, so I got something good from it. :blush:
I need to go try out some Hash brownies. :rofl: I just remembered this scene from Eurotrip.

I know I froze my ass off on that train from Moscow to Ufa when I was trying to sleep as the train windows seemed to let all the cold air in. :rofl: When you flushed the toilet on that train, it just opened a little door under the toilet so it all dropped on the train tracks, then they locked the bathroom doors about 10 minutes or so before you got to a city.

My first trip was March 2003 and last was January 2005. To be honest, it was warmer in Moscow in January then it was in March when I was there…But it was still cold. :blush:

I had a friend who was married to a Russian women, I think she might have been from Novosibirsk, but I’m not 100%. He passed away about a year ago and she lives in the US.
