Well, here i' am. Finally back. For those of you that watch my blogs sorry for the long leave. For these past two months I have finally done what I wanted to do for a very long time. I have finally visited my home country Russia. I haven't been there in twelve years and the experience was fun. It's totally not like i can remember before I moved to United States, it's different. Well, I guess thats what happens when you don't go somewhere for twelve years which is quite a long time. If you have never been there, i would definitely recommend visiting.
I have spent my time traveling between Moscow and St. Petersburg. I would call St. Petersburg the "Museum City". Almost every building is a monument to the Russian Empire which are almost two centuries old. A very great learning experience for me was visiting the Hermitage since i'm a history buff. Hermitage is a museum that spans several city blocks and holds the largest amount of artifacts and art of the Russian and European history in the world. Moscow, although it also holds it's fare share of Russian history, is more of a city robust with modern European culture. It is a great tourist locale which is also filled with alot of restaurants, nightclubs, it's fare share of museums, beautiful parks, anything to your hearts liking.
Like all fun things do, my trip came to an end. I haven't been able to do much gaming while on the trip. I have been visiting several arcades there(Yes. Arcade scene is alive and kicking in Russia), but haven't really been around gamers of my type. By my type i mean console gamers. Console gaming is almost non-existent, it's mostly PC, or at least from what I have noticed. Most of gamers there are heavy mmorpg fans. I really have nothing against mmorpgs, it's just i don't wish to take up such genre because every other game pretty much will lose my attention. Maybe, one day i' ll get one of those mmorpgs, but for now too many games to finish. Since i don't play any mmorpgs, it was hard having a good gaming conversation with them. I would mention the 360 and they would look at me funny:)
Well, I'm here, I'm back. It's good to be back on GameSpot. My usual weekly blogs will now resume for those that are interested. Thanks for reading and see ya.
