POLL - The RUA Demographic.
« on: March 11, 2008, 11:42:07 AM »
Someone said to me the other day "Where are all the Americans recently?", then one of the Americans said "theres a lot of Brits on here now" and one of the Brits said "Its all Ozzies and Canucks on here."

So lets see what our make up is now we are almost a year old.

Guests - you guys will have to sign up and say hello to vote on this one.  :)

Read a trip report from North Korea >>here<< - Read a trip report from South Korea, China and Hong Kong >>here<<

Look what the American media makes some people believe:
Putin often threatens to strike US with nuclear weapons.

Maybe you got this impression because some of them used to post far too much?  ::)
Leaving Russia is not an emigration, rather an evacuation.

Of course the Russians are right up there with the Americans on this poll.  Manny promised before it all started that there would be a 65% turnout!   ;D

If the Ruskies and Yanks win the poll we'll have to rename the forum to somthing like, Russian & Ugly American Adventures!   8)

Hey, can I vote twice since my heritage is Dutch?  I don't want Mark to feel lonely!

I was born in USA, Northern Montana, just miles from the Canadian border.  Grandmother was born in "South Russia", (Zaporizhia Oblast?) and was 3 when her family emigrated. Grandfather was born in the Oklahoma territory, great grandfather immigrated from "Russian Turkestan" (Orenburg Oblast/Neu Samara?) .  My Father didn't begin to speak English until he was 6 and had to enter public schools.  Grandfather spoke Russian, grandmother spoke Russian and some plattdeutsche.

I think Citizenship is a little paper book. Dude - you are a Russian.
