This post goes out to everyone who's moved around and especially to those whom live, or have lived in Russia. I was sad to leave my home country when I first heard at the age of 10 that me and my family might be off to live in Moscow, Russia... I couldn't have thought of a worst thing. Now I am happy and grateful to have called Russia my home for 8 years. To say the least, it was a change of a lifetime. The adaptation took a while not gonna lie, but its this process thats made me who I am today.
Moscow... Oh that sweet Moscow that so many fear and many wont see. Moscow wont probably be picked as the #1 choice for a vacation, but I miss it. The noise, the pollution, the traffic, the language, the people, yes part of what makes Russia, I do sometimes miss it now. Because beneath all small faults lies something greater... A country so old and full of history, great and terrible, fascinating and exciting, beautiful in its own way.
8 years I spend there. 8 Wonderful and eventful years I wouldn't change at all.
There are its ups and downs like everywhere, but for the most part, you know youve found something great when you cant stop thinking about it. I would have never thought that I would have learnt to love something that in my home country, some people despise. Yes I have my hatred towards the history between our countries, and I am 100% Finnish and always will be. But Russia will hold a place with me forever.
