Finally - The Rest of My Trip!!

We just Landed in Siberia-Novosibirsk, and our breakfast at 7am was accommodated with cold Russian Vodka!!!

My Mom and her boyfriend finished building this fountain and the place to hang out specially for our visit.

My Cat-Lolita. When she needs attention, she taps me on my shoulder.

This straw comes inside of the bottle. We thought it was pretty gross.

There are a lot of homeless animals.

I just think that this slide for kids does not look that safe, especially when it's hot.

No driers.

This building was built to mark the center of Russia.



This monument was built for those who died in the war with Germany 1941-1945.

The old old Soviet restroom. Isn't it nice??

I went to this school for 10 years in a row. We don't have separate schools, we only have separate floors for different ages.

We do drink in a car!!!!!

Russian BBQ.....

Uzbechistan kitchen-they make bread in this thing!!!

Russian pigeons can hang out and talk!!

This is Altai mountains!!!

I was so scared of this horse. She didn't really do anything crazy, but the noises that she was making were freaking me out.

I just wanted to show how small the portions are out there, it's even smaller than a kids portions in the US.

This is a typical day in Russia. Sauna, vodka and some music. The branches are used for hitting each other inside of the Sauna.


This place burns a lot of wood to heat up the city. Such a pollution!!!

Russian espresso machine - SHUTKA!!!


Drunk guy fell asleep, and this nice lady was trying to wake him up.

Why do we need palm trees in Siberia?

This is what we chase our beer with. I know it looks horrible, but it tastes so good.

American boys.

Russian boys.

Russia 2007 the first day.

So here we go, we have been on a plane for about 7 hours, and we are flying above Greenland, drinking vodka, and playing cards. I passed out right after it, and Quinn still wanted to keep drinking because he is the one who actually has a tolerance.

Anyways, the flight was not that bad, we played cards, ate pretty good airplane food (fortunately we both like shitty food), and drank everything we could buy from the small bar. Stuff became really cheap on the Russian Airplane.

Today is already Thursday, 4:30am. We are still up - drinking tea and smoking cigarettes - Russian style. We were uploading pictures all night. We are watching the RUSSIAN music channel, and many Russian songs are such a copy of western music that it's kinda annoying because I would love us to be able to come up with our own style. I shouldn't be too harsh, because there are some songs that are very interesting and cool.

Here are some cool pictures that we took today:



Only in Russia can you buy beer from a vending machine.;)



While we were waiting for our luggage that was delayed 2 hours, we could see my friends on the screen. I thought it was a kind of cool way to use technology.



This is Russian food - PELMENI. It's like dumplings.



This so funny, look at this guy on my left side. Holy shit the Russian Homeless look is so funny. He probably has never seen a flash camera in his life, so he freaked out.



I respect when people don't just beg for money, but earn it.



These people are making money off of pictures with eagles. Poor birds, not a great condition to be in.



This is just pretty.



THE funniest thing about this picture is that Quinn thought this was the best bathroom ever (I haven't told him what's coming up in Siberia yet). He couldn't understand how people can shit in these things. I even had to show him a little, so he would survive next time. Even more funny, he thought that it was so weird that stalls don't have toilet paper (as I am writing this right now, Quinn tells me, as a matter of fact there was no toilet either). Ha ha this is just too funny....



In the building behind us is dead Lenin, who I am not sure is even still there.



Cool place



It says in Russian letters FRESH, why wouldn't it just be in Russian language????
...Damn it we are loosing our identety..



Nice ride on the boat..And, of course you can drink beer everywhere..



This is a Russian Rollercoaster - - - no comments...

Travelling to Russia

I am getting ready to leave for Russia tomorrow. This blog is going to be the place where I post photos and videos of the trip. I will try to post stuff as often as possible.

I will update my map with photos so you can see exactly where I took them.
