Juat for reference - there is a great website I have never heard mentioned here - but it is a terrific resource.
It's name is www.russianfoods.com and it HAS not only traditional Russian foods (many of which I recognize) and over-the-counter pharmacy products - but all sorts of Russian recipes as well. This is of particular interest to me right now as my lady tries to figure out what she should bring and what we can get here if dhe needs it.
There is a great section on Russian popular music CDs there as well, which are available at around $12 including shipping.
I should also mention a part of the website that deals with Russian women - how to understand them (as if men will ever understand ANY type of woman - good luck) and even the allure of dating one.
Check it out. My lady will like the fact that it is also available in Russian and that the products generally are shipped from New York (less waiting time).
So Jetson and me got together last night had a couple of beers and celebrated my birthday !! really nice meeting you. We shared a TON of information about FSU.
That is 2 forum members I have met and let me tell you you can swap 100 times more information face to face than in this forum. Many thanks Jetson.
Look forward to meeting others.
Where are you Toad?
Happy B-day Izi. Jet-you are jetting out of here! Or I should say-she is jetting into here! I am excited for you,and wish you the very best with your lady. I imagine you had thoughts that this day would never come,so enjoy your unbelievable,incredible experience. May you both be blessed by much love and happiness!!!
