Responces are loved, thanx!
oh and here, ill go first, if you care to read:
1, 2. From russia to USA
3. i was 12ish
4. i probably speak english better than russian ![]()
5. first impression - that it is clean and perfect. and yes it changed. its not the perfect movie like world i 4 some reason thought it was. lol. its the real world.
6. at 12 i obv did not want to move. but now i think i would chose to live in the US just b/c the whole college process is easier and i think there are more opportunities 4 a good education.. but if i got to know everything i know now by the time i got to my current age (16) then i would have stayed in russia.
7. russia: best thing - the language and just the way the streets look there :), worst - i guess how ppl aren't as friendly as in teh US, political corruption, rasism, inequality
8. USA: best - emm.. i like different cities - Boston, NYC.. i like the slightly more layed back culture (compared to russia) worst - how it's excpected 4 ppl to fake happiness in public, (u kno, like when ppl say "how r u" they excpect to hear "good, u?" and it's the norm to smile even when ur not that happy), and i guess inequality, the fact that politicians consult with Jesus before making decisions that should not be affected by religion.
now, your turn!
