The art of naming Russians.
Well, I can't read cyrillic. But Who needs to when naming Russians?? Everyone knows there is only a small selection of names to choose from!! I mean come on, You just know there will be a Vladamir in there. (In this case, that's Lenin - Vladamir llyruch Ulyanov)). Then there will be a Mikhail (I believe I see Gorbachev), and a Nikita (Kruschev sits on the right). Admittedly I don't see Joseph as a typical Russian name (but Stalin was Georgian anyway, and his real name was "losif"). (The likes of "Boris" "Yuri" "Sergey" and "Alexei" are ever popular too!) Did I get it right Mike?? Did I????

I'm not gonna even try to spell these right...
Lenin, Stalin, Krushev... and I can't make out the letters on the other guy's card. It doesn't help that you took his pic upside down. It does help that I can read cyrillic.

don't worry...
... getting deported from Bellarussia isn't as cool as it might seem, so you didn't miss much.

Cool dad
I especially liked the comment about your cool dad. Sounds like he's the greatest. Hope you have fun traveling with him. I hope he behaves himself and does not embarass you in public. Boris

Don't you mean minature pony?
You call that a horse? I bet if your knees weren't bent your feet would touch the ground. In the picture of the people pushing the car, I love the guy in the middle. His jeans are hot! I checked out Napanee on Wikipidi. I bet you are so excited to get back there and with all the anticipation of adventures to come while back home I can't believe you haven't cut your trip short! Take care, Nic

Thanks for the least flattering shot of me ever. I forgive you though; the picture is poorly taken and tilted because you were too distracted by my grace and beauty. It's not your fault, Mike. I guess we'll call it even, since I made the Great Wall come out of your ass in the last shot. Ha!

China agrees with you!
You look so happy in your photos! I was the same way in Europe. Maybe there is a correlation between the snarly expressions we previously wore and Korea!But there is a bright side to having been there. If you didn't go to Korea, you would have never met me (what a lacklustre life that would be) and you would have one less person to laugh at your bad jokes and one less person to envy you and your travel adventures! But just so you know, if you don't post a photo of you in one of those Mongolian coats with the really big sleeves...you know the ones that smell like camels, I will be terribly disappointed Take care Mikul!

msg?
Hey Mike, Do you know if MSG is used big time in the the places your visiting. Is it possible to avoid it? Can you relay a brief MSG report? Should you choose to accept this mission, I will think of you as Agent MSG and be ever grateful. PS. I realize that if MSG does not cause your head to explode, your tongue to swell, your brain to feel like it's been in a blender, you may not be suited to properly sus out this culinary menace.
