U, tak chto, xotelos' bi slishat' vashi soveti. Sobiraus' poexat' v Pete v Fevrale s podruzhkoi (ukrainka), i xochy, chobi eto puteshestvie bilo samim shikarnim!

Bud'te lubezni, daite mne sovet. Kakaya gostinica? Kakie muzei? Camie xoroshie i interesnie mesta?

Mne, mezhdu prochim, ochen' nravitsa russkaya istoriya, literatura i kul'tura, poetomu, bilo bi klasno, esli puteshestvie vertelos okolo etix predmetov. TAK xorosho bi pobivat' v nostoyashoi banoi! Posmotret' na nastoyashie pravoslavnie zhivopisi! Vipivat'... nu, kazhet'sa bol'she nichego skazat'!

Na pomosh' ludi!

Prezhde vsego, izvinni menya za to, chto napisal "v banoi." Ya opyat' pyannij, i poetomu sluchaino eto sdelal. Bil nameren napisat' "v bani."

Izvinyaus'.. prosti menya! Ya ved' xoroshij i sposobnij paren'!

i..., esli vas ne zatrudnit, dai mne sovet, kotorij sprashivaet v poslednom obschenii.

Fix your computer. I can't take reading that crap.

Hey, up yours Crocodile Dundee! :P

Kidding of course.

How about you look in the mirror, though. You hardly ever type in Russian.

Forgive me, I am lazy and drunk. I do not have any ambition left and the last thing on my mind is adding the god damned Russian font onto my comuter.

Maybe tomorrow... after I can't remeber what happened tonight.

:)

Privet, Andrei.

Ya ne bogat, i v moyom rasporyazhenii, priznat'sya, ne mnogo deneg, no neskol'ko raz byl v Petere i hochu tebe skazat' - don't go to that nasty place, where you are gonna be mugged, robbed and stabbed right upon arrival. You better stay safe at home and transfer your money to me. I would go there instead of you and if I survive I'll send you a CD with high quality video recorded.

Al.

Hey, I never type translit, though! Well I did try once or twice. Anyway getting drunk and messing with your computer is fun.

for those "challenged among us... here is a translation:

Hello Everyone,

I have a lot of money at my disposal. I am rich, and I want to indulge in this situation a little.

And therefore, I would like to here your advice. I am going to go to Saint Petersburg in February with my girlfriend (a Ukrainian) and I want this trip to be the most chic possible. (as chic as it could be!)

Please, give me some advice. Which hotel? Which museums? The best and most interesting places?

By the way, I really enjoy Russian history, literature and culture. Therefore, it would be cool if the vacation centered around these subjects. It would be SOOO cool to be in a real banya! To look at real russian orthodox icons! To DRINK... well, I guess there is nothing left to say about that!

Help me, people!

Hey Alware,

Don't worry, I have already been briefed. "Don't open your mouth, even if someone asks you a direct question! Pretend you are gluxo nemoi!" This is the advice given to me for traveling to Russia by the local "refugees."

You're a good sport, Aussie. You and I are at least more alike than Americans to Europeans.

If not for Putin's political ambitions (and high oil and natural gas prices) and his manipulation of the sheep of Russia, America would be as close to Russia as to you Australians.

Well, but I'm still positive that it'd be safer for you to stay home and to transfer money to me.

And I am good with the ladies, Perhaps I could handle that end for you!

Oh Ally ol' boy (Allware in Southern American Dialect),

You sure are a real Russian, ain't ya?

You almost had me ol' boy.

Just trying to take care of you

Chestno skazhi, aussi, skol'ko russkix devushek ti #$@!@#$?

A eto ne stoit. Ya veru. Ya kak raz xochu, potomu chto ti simpatichnij paren',

Holy crap, Ally. Where are you in Siberia?????

Right in the "georaphical" middle of Russia.

RE: Alware's living in Siberia:


Wow.... you don't even know how cool that is to me. Why, the closest we Americans have to that is Barrow Alaska. I have been there in the dead of winter, the howling wind engulfing and all encompassing, sucking the light from day, swaying one's soul towards the most dark and frost-bitten disposition.

And yet.... that cannot begin to compare to Siberia. The true, untreaded and immaculate frontier of the earth. Full of mystery and a subculture, which would be pleasant and ever endearing to any man to step foot upon her frozen visage.

Nope. There are places like here much closer to you than Alaska.
e.g. Ruidoso NM

What do you drink there? Vodka?

Vermouth -- a Hemmingway fan. :)

um.. what does that have to do with it? What, you don't enjoy flowery language?

My english sucks to be able to enjoy "flowery language" :(

BTW I've been to Ruidoso and I liked it there.

PS When I drink vodka I tend to write poems :lol:

I am from Seattle my freind.

A lot of Russians (by the I mean Russkogovoryashie) live here. I don't know why they choose this place in particular. It is not so cold, not so hot... really just right if you think about it.

As far as New Mexico goes, I can't imagine it being at all like Russia. Well, hell, if you say so.

Don't worry about the language I used, I simply write in 19th century style when I have had one too many. It is outdated language and doesn't mean a damn thing. No one talks like that anymore.

Tell me, how often do you drink Vodka?

Do people speak "Southern American" there? :o I thought you were from TX or some.

Twice a week :(

Well, I have to say that twice a week is not nearly enough.

You don't care that Russians live in Seattle. This is basically the same opinion other Russians I have met have.

You are sure that NM is like Russia. Well, I just never imagined a cactus in mother Russia. After all, aren't birches supposed to be magical?... not Sujarros, or how ever the hell you spell it.

As for the accent, my family has a 200 year history in the Southern US. My whole family speaks with an accent, therefore, it is suppressed, unless some grease oils the wheels and gets things spinning faster than intended (if you know what I mean.)

You liked the flowery language? If so, then I would recommend Edgar Allen Poe. If you could understand what I typed, then you could understand what he wrote. A true master of prose and suspence..

Lastly, I would advize you to drink more vodka, otherwise you may not live up to stereotypes of Americans toward Russians. :) Kidding of course.

If ever I were in your area, would love you drink with you. Would buy the most expensive Vodka, samie xoroshie zakuski, i ustroit' the very best music..i vse. Well, who knows if this day will ever come. Let's hope.

I have to go to bed now. Spokoinoi nochi!

Ruidoso NM
