Life after move...

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I have one brother who just might do it. He's into new and exciting experiences and loves a little variety in his life. The ladies love him already but he's smart enough to not set his goals too low. "Why settle for hamburger when you can go out for cutleti?" He also likes two or three cutlets at once. He's a growing boy!

My youngest brother, he's going to be a millionaire - provided what he does is legal. He's only 12 right now but he spent the summer making PowerPoint presentations because "he was bored." Where'd he learn PowerPoint? "I just kind of taught myself. It's not that hard." This is the same kid who set up a ponzi scheme using Pokemon cards and birthday money... in grade school! I think he's going to be this guy someday -

Alla LOVES that commercial! Now she uses that term "I jump eeeen eeet" all the time.

I asked if she thinks the girls are really FSU chicks. She said "Yes, seems like it, they are normal looking girls"

I use it to illustrate what it's like for guys over there. "Sure, you're not going to have the gold and all, but all those sexy hot women running around? Absolutely!" (*Miniature giraffe not included.)

My wife and I laughed about that little giraffe for a while. Giraffes come out bigger than dogs!

No one will believe you Slim. That is why I have the TS stash of photos. They just have to go and see it for themselves.

I usually direct them to AFA's website to show them how there are, literally, 48,000 more just waiting to meet them. "Dude, with odds like that, you can't go wrong!"

Hey Gary...haha no need to explain RUB humor to me...actually on second thought i dont think it is explainable to an outsider.

So i just showed the video to yana and she says "oh matt you should be here for longer next time those are only average russian girls." I should have been born in the FSU

Dudes at my job are always like, "that Anna Kournikova is pretty hot, huh?" I reply, "Yeah, she's alright. She's in great shape, but average all the same."

They don't believe me. - Until I show them!

Hi, Inna! I understand your concerns. It's not hard to understand, being a Russian girl

Well... i've been in the USA 3 times and the 1st time was the hardest... For the 1st 2 weeks i hated myself for coming to the US, for the next 2 weeks i still wasn't happy about the food, about the weather (too humid), about how weird people could be... it seemed like nothing could be real in the US: neither food, no relationships (i wasn't concerned about finding love though, it just seemed that it's next to impossible to find friends in the USA...). about 5 minutes before i met my fiance, i'd said that i would never date an American guy (no offence, guys and that seems so funny now! never say never). i like walking and finding new areas, so it freaked me out when i couldn't go somewhere, because the place was some kind of a 'hood'.

by the end of the 4th month in the US it didn't seem that bad. at least i found out that when you live in the States you always have a choice. well, you don't always have a choice of words you can say, but you can choose what to eat, what to wear, what to watch, what to listen to etc. you just need to decide what you want to be like and know to which stores and places you want to go.

it still took me 3 long winters in Russia 2 more trips to the USA to adjust to the thought that i'm going to leave my country, my family and friends behind and i'm still concerned about some stuff... i'm still worried about making friends in the USA.... i'm not concerned about finding people just to hang out with, i want some real friends. i still don't understand how Americans can share something very private with everybody at work or school. i don't get that excited about shopping anymore, plus it happened to be very very hard to find a pair of shoes of a decent quality which i liked in the US (believe it or not). i made my peace with poor public transport system though (since i got my driver's lisence), but... there is something i keep being worried about.

i think everything is going to be fine though. every place in the world has it's pros and cons. the most important thing though is that it's the place where you can spend the rest of your life with your best friend

My wife has had maybe one day of homesickness; all the others she's loved it here. Well....even when she encounters things that she doesn't like and I ask her if she wants to go back, she always says, No, I Love You.

I wonder about the fiance and how he has/hasn't prepared his new fiancee for the move.

Funny how we haven't heard a word from the OP since the beginning? Never an answer to the questions posed? Troll?

She is right. As Alla says, they are "normal looking"

Thanks for posting that ... I forgot about that commercial.

I laughed my ar$e off when I saw that commercial the first time. "I jump eeen et" its just classic ...
