I visited Russia two years ago. It was an amazing trip. I can’t believe how big that country is. People are cool, food is great. Good luck on your trips!

Just watched Wild Russia. The narrator was calling moose elk? Was he home schooled?

Comment on A few choice words #6 by Tess

Sorry again, but the last syllable ov IZVINITE sounds nothing like ‘che’. it is actually exactly what it looks like TE, and it sounds exactly like the first syllable of the English word ‘telepathy’.

Comment on Sweeping generalisations #3: Father, friend and colleague by Tess

I am very sorry to be a patronising bore, but пожалуйста (please)’ in response to ‘thank you’ means ‘you are welcome’ ,NOT ‘don’t mention it’. Which is actually rather logical, because,in a way, saying ‘please’ in Russian when offering something means ‘you are welcome to have it/ you are welcome here etc’. And there are only two meanings of the word пожалуйста: ‘here, please accept it/you are welcome to have it’ and ‘ you are welcome’ (in response to ‘thank you’). I have never heard of ‘please’ being used with the meaning ‘don’t mention it”, it simply does not make any sense. And I am born and bred moscovite with a degree in Russian language.
And one more thing, the female version of the name Alexander is Alexandra, not Alexandria.
I love you blog .

Any ordering of subject, object and verb is actually grammatically valid in English as well (hence Yoda is actually speaking correct English), but there are obviously very strong conventions.

On the train the internet connection can be poor or non existant but off the train you should be fine in all the stops along the way – Odette
