Getting to know the locals
... would generally get a warmer reception than me. Firstly, I
apparently have Russian features, therefore, I must be Russian and secondly the
name Tanja is Russian! They don’t seem to understand that people from other
parts of the world can have a Russian name. So because I look like a local, I
therefore am not as interesting to speak to as Sean, who doesn’t have a Russian
name or look Russian at all!! His advantage I suppose, as people ...

The country shall be the next destination in your realization of the world. Nothing surprising to read in “Shurale” the poem written by the famous Tatari poet Gabdulla Tukay ...
Last Week in Kazan
... just talking about fans but also militia. In all of the sports events that we had attended, this was the most supervised. They were everywhere. It kinda freaked me out a little. Anyway, the hockey team had terrible cheerleaders and cheesy games, but I wanted to see real live Russian hockey, I mean, if they are dirty players over here, can you imagine how they play in Russia? Soon the match began and I was on the edge of my seat. This was going ...
