Americanized Russian Returns to Russia After 25 Years

Category: Travel

After living in the United States for 25 years, a man returns to Russia and writes about his many adventures. The author writes about how similar Moscow looks to the city in the movie Blade Runner. He also discusses being tempted to ask a Russian police woman to put handcuffs on him (and based on the photograph he links, this is not a surprise). The author also writes about being asked NOT to smile for his passport photo. Having lived in the United States since the age of eight, this is a cultural adjustment for him. Humorous and interesting, the blog offers a look at life in Russia.
