Russia seems to be a really interesting country, i would definitely like to come here one day.
I'm afraid i don't know much about Russia apart from the football scene and few of the writers.

i have a question...Siberia is part of Russia right? and it lies partly in Asia...so is Russia actually a part of Asia or Europe as the capital is closer to Europe? or is it like "Eurasia"?if there's such a word...and do you consider yourselves Asians or Europeans...or Eurasians?

ah, i see so if you live like in the easternmost Siberia you'd be Asian, and if you live in for example St. Petersburg or Moscow you's be European...that about right? man, you guys are a complicated race!!! LOL

i only see them at tourism websites, books, and travel shows on t.v. and the places are indeed really beautiful....
BTW, have i told you my classmates used to call me Ms. Russia in high school and college? it's because i always expressed my interest for the country and always choose the country for assignment(if we get to choose)for a report for geography or international studies...and also we had a discussion then about what job we want and I said i wanted to be an Ambassador for our country coz i think i can do good in foreign relations, and our teacher asked me where i would like to be assigned and i said Russia... hah, i still need to learn the language if i'm gonna do that... ;D
anyway, i've always supported Russians even during the Pre-Kournikova and Pre-Marat time...specially in beauty pageants...you guys have the prettiest women, i think...i was so happy when (was it?) Oxana Fedorova won Miss Universe a few years ago...too bad she had to surrender the crown...
