19 years in Moscow
« on: August 19, 2023, 05:05:16 AM »
Yesterday was my 19th year anniversary living in Moscow.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be here this long, but here we are.

I can safely say that it has far exceeded my expectations. Simply some of the best years of my life and I spent 20 years living in Newport Beach, Cali.

I have met some extraordinary people during this time and I am forever thankful for my experiences here.

Just taking one day at a time and who knows what the future has in store.

I think you need a Russia Guru badge on your profile for that. There's not much you don't know about Russia after 19 years.

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

Maybe we can get Danchik an AA coin?

Seriously though it is both admirable and impressive.

Congratulations Danchik, it took great courage to leave the USA, learn how to work, survive and then thrive in Russia.

Especially after have lived in Newport Beach, CA for so many years.  :laugh:  tiphat
