All the inhabitants of Murmansk will remember one of the few in the city of graffiti, which is not spoils the appearance of buildings, and decorated their. I'm talking about graffiti shop Dr. Martens, was once located on the main avenue (not far from the beginning of the street Polar Dawns ).
And actually, this time my companion was a virtual - Michael (aka. Mikky. on. forum mbnews. ru. ), Who was one of the owners of the store Dr. Martens in Murmansk. Michael in the past murmanchanin, now lives in New York (USA). He is 35 years old. And so begin.
What encouraged to move to another country? .
My mother and all the relatives already living in the U.S.. - N. Y. We went to the Jewish line. Mom wanted to his family, and I'm sick romanticism emigration. Even though I was fine (he worked in a bank ), his father a good position, but I was annoyed at that moment taking place in Russia. I'm not in poverty, but annoying. I do not know where I live, what country, and the like romanticism like children. that's coming to America and everything will be decided, I'll do whatever I want, and the like. Alas....
How long to get used to new surroundings, orders, customs, attitudes in society?.
Not long accustomed, like many New Yorkers. :).
This is when a person gets in other states... there - breaking....
Accustomed to nothing - Boiler.
Customs, as the educated man, I accept, but no one requires them to comply with. And no one looks askance prohibits or, if you are in compliance with its. I have a brother 3 years he lived in Cleveland (Ohao) - a beautiful city, but fled back to N. Y. This is a specific city, this is no longer. Here you are asking me about America, and in fact N. Y. America is not likely (. Note the author's blog is probably the same can be said about Moscow. ). Because it real amerikosy come here on a tour like in another world.
Your opinion on the part of Russia today ( political power, business, society)?.
My view is not unequivocal, but I think if the place is what is happening in Russia, despite all the difficulties, I would not have gone. But it could be a mistaken assumption. I look and State. channels and RTVI and Echo of Moscow.... Problems... they are all problems, but I will say one can not stand sausage emigration, when all that is happening in Russia is mixed with shit! .
What people think ( know) about us Russians, Americans?.
They know only those who want to learn something. As a general rule do not know no dick. But both the Russians and the U.S., only in movies (and. what we are told the media - the blog author's note. ).
They are important - personaliti. Here you are Russian, behave adekvanto and we respect you and the country as a whole means. :).
This is not Europe, where you always stay a stranger. At least, I personally, in the U.S. have never heard of them: ... But again, the difference in the states, I've never been to the west.
What is your most annoying and like the Americans?.
Irritating, strangely full obedience to the laws. Sometimes retarded, unintelligible.
And like. I still can not understand how American politics and the people who live here are connected (. Note the author's blog: I think Michael has in mind that an aggressive military policy, which led the United States and. kindness themselves U.S. citizens. )? . You can explain everything and you understand and accept, if only peace will participate, but other people's problems do not need anyone. The truth is always worth remembering that if you lied and you caught - all of Death. Death - your personality. No one will have to do with you. Never!.
A friend of mine said that in the States you get a normal person, but if you have a car ( I may exaggerate a little, but the exact same point ). Is this true?.
On machines. Your friend the right, but only if you live in one-storey America. Neither I nor many of my friends in the N Machine. Y. not needed. There is no need. It is so convenient and komfortabilny Ground Transportation. Again, this is the view resident metropolis N. Y. In many places, if not the machine, then do not buy bread. :).
I understand that the right to vote in elections you have not yet, but still, you're for McCain or Obama? .
there are no. But the voice would have given for Obama (unlike the Russian Conservatory Diaspora ).
And finally a couple of questions about brands (blog is partially dedicated to marketing, advertising, brands ).
Apple or Microsoft (PC)?.
Microsoft clearly!.
Coca or Pepsi?.
I do not know to which generation I'm closer, but probably Pepsi. T. to. It pleases me more. :).
