How I found love in Russia and how it changed my life, Travel and Lifestyle

 

 

Finding love in Russia

I had never really had much luck with women from my own country. Things just never really worked out but then again it also didn't feel right. When dating women in my own country it always felt like there was no connection and that we always wanted different things, we were on different wave lengths. The important things were always what home you owned, what car you drove, what you earned, the clothes you wore and eating out. It's nice to own a home, have a good car, salary, clothes and being able to eat out and enjoy life and I believe that it's normal for any woman or man to want these things as you can enjoy life and be financially secure to some degree but when these are the only things that matter there is something wrong. What about love, values and a family.  I was looking for something and someone serious but no luck. If I even mentioned that I was thinking in terms of settling down and getting married it was over. If you ask me I think many women here don't know what they want, their desire for money is not to be financially secure so that they can start a family and have less worries but rather for living it up and having a good time regardless of anything else. If the next guy who comes along has more than you - bye bye girlfriend. Don't get me wrong and think that im saying women here are bad but to put it simply they just did not suit me and I needed something more. Im sure that many men from the west feel the same.

I remember as a youngster seeing a program on TV where they were interviewing men who had Russian wives and what good wives the Russian ladies make and what good family values they have and how well they look after their husbands and families. I always knew that I would get married at an early age and thought if I could not find a wife I would have to find myself one of these Russian beauties. Well, thats exactly what I did. I had searched many womens profiles on the net and kept in mind that other men had also probably contacted many of the women. There are absolutely thousands of profiles and sites. I came across a site which for a fee would advertise your profile for three months on many different Russian sites. I paid the fee, set up my profile and waited. I figured that if there were single Russian women out there looking for a man and believe me there are many, they would find me. I wouldn't have that much competition. I started e-mailing some of the women I liked, especially one in particular. She was beautiful, kind and an angel. We would e-mail, post letters, talk in ICQ and speak on the phone nearly everday. After eight months I invited her for a holiday to my country. We were madly in love and we were engaged before she left to return home. Three months later I took a trip to Russia to meet her family and to bring my fiance home. We were married within two months and I can honestly say that this was the best decision I have ever made. This decision changed my whole life for the better. We have been married for 6 years and have a beautiful little girl.

I would like to say that the Russian women make beautiful, caring and wonderful wives. There are a few  women who are complete chancers but not many. There are absolutely thousands of single Russian women looking for husbands. These women are loving and have strong family values. They care so well for their husbands and children. They look after the home and can cook well. The Russian women do not leave Russia because life is terrible, Russia is a beautiful place. These women are also not here to serve us. The Russian women are true partners in a marriage and life, so if you are lonely and can't find someone do not fear because Mother Russia is here!

Visiting Russia

 What image do you get in your head when you think of Mother Russia? For me it was old ladies standing in front of St Basil Cathedral in a freezing cold snow storm waiting in a queue for food rations. I seriously thought all Russians were dirt poor, the cities were falling apart and that they were all desperate to get out of the country. My then fiance (now my wife) told me otherwise. But you know what it's like, you will only believe it when you see it with your own eyes. Arriving in Moscow airport was something else. At passport control they all have stern faces, and you start to imagine things, all those films you have seen where the Russians are the bad guys, well it starts to play with your mind. Being in Russia for the first time is a very different experience. You can see that life for most people in Russia is harder than in the west, but that's life and it certainly doesn't mean that they want to leave. By the second day you start to feel really isolated. You can't understand anyone or read any signs or names of streets but as you start to discover this rich culture and it's warm people everything starts opening up for you. The cities are beautiful and have such character. There are plenty of cafe's and restaurants to choose from. There are also markets all over which sell anything you can think of. There is no shortage of good hotels. There is a great night life and plenty of people in the main streets and main areas at night on weekends and holidays. Obviously not all places in Russia are like this especially ouside the cities but visiting Russia is one of the best experiences you will ever have and completely different to what we have been made to believe. The culture, lifestyle and people are what make Russia such a fascinating and beautiful place.

Change of career

Oct 2009

Have you ever considered having a change of career?  Maybe there is something that you have always wanted to do or you might have discovered something new which you would like to persue and make a career out of it. For some it might sound crazy to start over again especially if you are earning well and have many years experience in that field. But what if you could use everything you have learnt, your experience, and with some courses start a new career. Is possible to do this without leaving behind many years of study and work and having to start all over again? Depending on what you want to do it is. It is my greatest dream to live and work in Russia with the Russian people. One way of doing this is to teach English (my native language) as a foreign language. Think of it like this, you have been speaking and using your native language your whole life. It was the first language you ever learnt. Who better to learn a language from than a native speaker? The truth is no one.There is a huge demand for TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) teachers in Non-English speaking countries all over the world. Take all your previous knowledge from study and work and use it to teach Business English. There are several courses which you can do to start of your career. Yes you will have to start somewhere to start building experience and it is still a change, but if you want to follow a dream and you can maintain a good standard of living it really is possible. You might have to sacrifice a little in the beginning but what a rewarding career afterwards.

A million bucks

Sep 2009

Imagine winning a million bucks or even more on a lottery. Think of what you could do, how your life would change and how you could help others. You could buy that dream house, invest a great deal so that you will always be financially secure, start a business, travel the world and help others. The possibilities are endless and it really will change both your life and the life of others. Imagine what you could do for your family and what it's like not to have to worry about money. One ticket is all it takes. You know what they say, if you don't play you can't win.

Best Friends

Sep 2009

There is nothing like a good laugh. Whether you are stressed or feeling down, a good laugh makes you forget your worries and makes you feel a little better. A good laugh on a good day makes a really great day. One late December while visiting my wife's family in Russia, we had just finished lunch and it was snowing lightly outside. Sometimes I enjoy standing and having a look through the window at the park below seeing what's going on and who's walking past. This time I noticed three men walking through the park towards the apartment rather slowly and realised that they had been celebrating. One of the men decided to help his friend who was battling to stay on his feet by propping him up against a tree and holding him there. Obviously he was in exactly the same state and I watched as the two slid at an angle off the tree trunk and went from vertical to horizontal. They just lay in the snow while I was almost rolling on the floor with laughter. It's like one of those old comedy's you see without any sound. The third guy managed to bend over and was trying to pull up one of his friends, he almost ended up on the floor with them. Ten minutes later they managed to help each other and get back onto their feet before staggering off to whereI hoped was home and not to celebrate somewhere else. It was a really funny scene.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Sep 2009

See full size imageWhen you look at the prices that we pay for airtickets especially for long distance routes, you expect a good service. You want to be as stress free as possible and enjoy the flight. Basically your journey begins once you arrive at the airport and get your baggage checked in. Once this is done and you have your boarding pass you relax a little and have one thing less to think about. Whenever we fly we use either Lufthansa or Emirates and the service is just brilliant. We recently deceided to bring out my wife's family for a holiday and bought airtickets to fly on Lufthansa. I didn't think to have a good look at the tickets or take much note except for the names of the family on the tickets and the dates. Of course when it was time for them to return home we naturally took them to the Lufthansa check in but were informed that we had to check in at the South African Airways counters as SAA was the carrier. I don't remember the travel agent mentioning this to us, my heart sank a little. Keep in mind that there was no queue at Lufthansa, their service is always great. Arriving at the SAA counters we were met by an extremely long queue. Unlike Lufthansa we had to have our bags weighed before even getting to the check-in counter. We were told that my families bags were 14kg overweight which they were not, we argued but had to pay a small fortune. Once we had paid and were let through back into our place in the queue, there was a second scale which I had not seen before. I asked them to weigh the bags. This time we were only 10kg overweight. To cut a long story short, when we got to the check in counter and asked them to weigh the bags, we were only 7kg overweight. I was told to send a complaint in writing to SAA to try and get a refund. It is 9 months later and im still waiting. What's the moral of the story? Fly with well known airlines that people have flown with and recommend. I say again, Lufthansa and Emirates are absolutely brilliant, with service at all airports and in flight.

Visit once - enjoy for years!

Sep 2009

Have you ever been on such an incredible vacation that the memory stays with you for years to come. Whether it's the experience, luxury or location these are some of the most rewarding memories one can have especially when shared with a loved one. I'm lucky enough to have had several of these incredible vacations both in my own country and abroad. I always enjoy luxury, fine dining and great scenary which make for an incredible vacation but the most incredible vacation I've had without fail is visiting Russia. Every single time i've gone the experience has been just absoultely amazing and so rewarding. It's hard to explain and you have to experience it yourself to understand. The people, cities, lifestyle, culture, history and food are just some of the things creating such a great experience. If there is one place that I would recommend anyone to visit it would be Russia.  Visit just once and enjoy the memories for years to come.

 

Retail therapy

Sep 2009

To me shopping really is Retail Therapy. Whether it's for your wife, family, home or just yourself I find it quite relaxing, I think all the ladies out there will agree with me. You work hard for your money so why not have a little reward and give a loved one or yourself something you need or want. I always find it nice after shopping to go and have something to eat and drink at a cafe. It's like the cherry on top. It's something both my wife and myself enjoy so it's a form of quality time together. I enjoy sitting down, relaxing and watching people go past the cafe, everyone is so busy and going somewhere, it's a sort of time out for me. I think the best Retail Therapy is still when you go on vacation whether in your own country or even better, somewhere abroad. Guess what im going to do today? That's it -RETAIL THERAPY

 

The Ultimate gift

Sep 2009

Today I was thinking of what the ultimate gift for a woman is. It has to be a Diamond. When you hear Diamonds are forever and Diamonds are a girls best what do you think of? Maybe James Bond or Marilyn Monroe. Not me. I'll tell you what I think of. I think of an everlasting absoultely rare and beautiful gift and that it's every women's dream and desire to have a diamond. I also have to say that it's my favourite gift to buy. Diamond Rings symbolize true love and commitment. Presenting a Diamond Ring for an Engagement or a special occasion has to be the ultimate gift and it will make any woman feel loved and special. Others will also know how special your lady is to you. Also just think of how successful people will think you are, being able to purchase such a luxury. Go ahead and show that special woman how much you love her and care. It's a win win situation. If you can't find that something special or don't know where to look for that perfect ring check out James Allens's Diamond Rings. They have pictures of all their diamond rings and give you a good idea of what's on offer.

Russian women 

Sep 2009

Whether I'm on the street, shopping or having a bite to eat somewhere in the city, I am absolutely amazed at how fashionable the Russian women are. Summer or winter they never seem to fail to be extremely well groomed, dressed in beautiful clothes and looking good. I like to call this eye candy. There is nothing more beautiful than a Russian woman in a fur coat in winter, mind you a mini skirt as well. What? A mini skirt in winter - OH YES, of course they have stocking on. This is the lifestyle in Russia. The Russian women like to look good and It's all done with class. Do you know what Viagra is? Im not talking about a little pill, im talking about a Russian group, take a look at these fashionable celebs and enjoy.
