cliffg Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) well guys i am getting ready for my first international trip next Wednesday. if you are inclined to do so please pray for me and my wife to have a safe flight. i do not need prayers for a good time as this will be the trip of my lifetime. the wife was invited to be a speaker at a library conference that is a week long in Russia. her part of the trip is paid for by the Russian consulate. i only have to pay tag along fees. on the return trip we will finally get the honeymoon we never had after 16 years and will be spending a week in Prague. i must say though with the f'ed up political climate in Korea it am a little worried about going abroad. hopefully i can still access this site in Russia so i can keep up, this has become my main news source for political stuff.

StainTrain Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Don't do anything in the hotel room that you don't want on YouTube. They are still fighting th Cold War. My prayers are with you. Edited March 16, 2013 by StainTrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 My boss brought me back a shirt from russia that he bought from a street vendor. It's covered with guns. IIRC it's a slam on the USA. I will dig it out and take a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StainTrain Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Unless you like 800 grit sandpaper rubbed on your balloon knot..follow blksheep's advice. The kinda of TP you get.....you ain't wanting. And the kind you are wanting......you ain't getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just to get you in that Russian kind of mood. By the way......this is a great piece of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKSHEEP Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Don't forget to checkout the vodka. Years ago I traveled across Ukraine, drinking vodka seemed to be the national passtime there. That's also the first time I witnessed true poverty, it really made me appreciate being American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
