So internet has been difficult. I didn't have any while I was in Russia. I am sitting at a Starbucks in the beautiful town of Heidelberg so that I could get internet here to update this blog. I'll say more about Germany later, but since it has been a while here is some experiences from my time in Russia.
Moscow, Russia is a giant city. We could spend an hour on the bus and not even leave the city, and that is when there was no traffic. I was just starting to get the hang of the Russian alphabet as just as we left. For example, the "C" makes the "S" sound and the "P" makes the "R" sound. One of my favorite parts of our time in Russia was going to the Russia IKEA. On this trip we have had a wide variety of corporate visits all of which have expanded my view of all that goes into business and global economics. We had gone to one of IKEA manufacturers in Lithuania, but today we where at the actually IKEA and headquarters for the Russia & CIS region. The Swedish expats that spent the afternoon with us were inspiring and passionate about what they did. We also visited a Mars chocolate factory. We also explored the more historic parts of Moscow including the Kremlin some other major buildings.
They also have security guards everywhere in Russia. Just about every building has its own security guard. Germany has been a bit of fresh air. Not only is there less security but the people here smile more.
