Russian Vodka
There’s probably an article or two on this somewhere in this blog already. However it’s been a few years and perspectives are always evolving.
Russian culture parallel’s western/USA culture in many ways. Seems like many things are the same or similar, yet very different. In November of this year (2012) Lena and I will be married 11 years. I’ve amassed quite a bit of information over these years. This blog had its 6th birthday in March, so it’s been a while.
Way back in the year 2000, after being divorced for a couple of years I decided to seek out a Russian bride. At first I wasn’t too serious about it, but after finding my future bride I began considering a trip to the former Soviet Union. At that time I had never been outside the USA except for a couple of days driving through Canada from Anchorage Alaska to Seattle, Washington. So I decided to have an adventure. That turned into the biggest adventure I ever took. Ten cases of vodka later, and eleven years after we met I can say it was the best thing I’ve ever done.
Stay tuned for Part 2.
