Etc.

I came across some interesting things relating to Russian orphans and culture recently that I thought I’d throw up.

This is a story about a young man who was adopted from a Russian orphanage when he was about 9 years old. It’s the sad but inspirational story about his life — and death.

This story is about Russian-style banyas in New York. Interesting, but I don’t know if they can possibly rival the authentic experience of a rural banya in Russia.

I’m going to try to start posting again periodically. The posts won’t be about my adventures, of course, but things related to Russian orphanages and culture that relate to my travels. Check for new posts periodically. I have a few new posts in the works!
