You: "Um, question, I know you're supposed to be on this adventure and all, but who are you?"

Me: "Well, I'm Andrew/Andy/Andre'."

You: "Ok, what do you look like?"

Me: "click here and find out."

You: "Oh my God, are you seriously wearing a sweater-vest?"

Me: "It was cold, it's Denver you know, and the Capital building can be a bit drafty with it's high ceilings and old windows---"

You: "---No probs, it's just wierd to see someone actually wearing one, that's all, and did I see a 'Metro State - Roadrunners' sticker on the wall in that room?"

Me: "Totally. I went to school there and---"

You: "---WAIT, isn't 'the roadrunners' the mascot that was created because back when your college was founded it was a collection of a bunch of random spread out buldings all around a really busy area of the city and students would have to dodge cars and traffic to get to their classes?!"

Me: "Umm-Hmm, but, honestly, let's not be completely stupid and use terms like 'dodge cars and traffic' becuase it's really redundant, ok."

You: "I'll keep that in mind---"

Me: "My father owns a big Dodge truck."

You: "..."

Me: "Right, uh, as you were saying..."

You: "Yeah, so, ok... where are you from? This Denver place where that 'Metro' school is, right? What's it like there? What does it look like?"

Me: "click here for the whole shebang, or here for a cool picture."

You: "So, where are you now?"

Me: "click here and find out."

You: "Neat, St.Petersburg, Russia, I think, but, Dude, um, it's in Russian. I want to find out what's happening there right now, but in English. Where should I go?"

Me: "click here ---AND/OR--- here to get info in English."

You: "Neat, but do you have any other cool pictures that are of you in Russia, maybe with some friends of yours there?"

Me: "Um, yeah, I think I have some. But they're a bit cheesy and all, like most things of mine. Ok, so the first one is of my buddies Ira, Hanna and me. We're standing in Victory Square just near the Hermitage and Alexander's Column. It's was a really great day that day. Um, and then there's one of Hanna, Sharma, Ira, Oaxana and me in the gardens at Peterhoff Palace which is just south of Saint-Petersburg. Oh, and here's another one, which I really like too. This is of Katia, Natasha and me basking in the sunlight at the State University there in Saint-Petersburg. In fact, it's was so cool to meet Natasha because she reminds me so much of my Aunt Kay. So funny, you can travel half way across the world and meet the Russian version of your Aunt attending college. One of my favorites is this one of Everyone and Coleya (Ira's friend from Moscow) in the Moscow Metro going to his house really late one night on our trip there. And, lets see, this last one is of The Gang at the Eedalnaya Chashka (a local cafe) after our trip to Moscow, careful though, this one's a real big download, like a meg or somethin'. Good times."

You: "Well, that's enough for now I think. Thanks."

Me: "Dosvedaneeya."

You: "Paka."

Me: "Malodeeyets!"

You: "Otleechna!"
