1./ Why it happened

During whole my life I have been living in Russia. I have been traveling so many times with my parents, friends, then with my husband. And each country that I was is so different and I like it.
Once upon a time, I arrived in the USA and it was amazing!
I mean, I live in Moscow and sometimes it is pretty the same as Europian cities (some of architecture and traditions, not everything obviously!)
But USA — it is a totally different world! I met so many people with wonderful open-minded lifestyle! Culture, architecture, cuisine — everything different.
Now I am here again, in Portland, OR. There is an adorable nature here and we decided to have rest here in the second time.
I hope it will be interesting and funny. And an idea was born — I will try to write down my experience and my opinion about this country, this city, and culture.
And also I will try to do a comparison two culture — it looks cool!
See you!
