GOOD NEWS!!! FINALLY I UPDATED MY PHOTO ALBUMS PAGE!!! CHECK OUT TONS OF PICTURES THAT I UPLOADED THERE!!! USE THIS LINK: MAIN PHOTO ALBUMS.
Since you already probably noticed that I don't like to write much, but as for showing photos this is my favorite thing to do. You will see some of photos of me and my friends and learn how we spend our free time. These are kind of test photos and if you'll like it, make sure you check main photo albums page with links to bunch of my different photo albums:
This picture was taken during my first several days in US in 1999. Several days ago myself and six my friends stepped of the plane on American soil and we didn't really know what to expect. And that what we got: warm welcome and a lot of new friends.
And than we got the party started. Traveling from one apartment to another we party for all of the Fall 99 semester, but at the same time we managed to successfully complete that semester.
And some more parting, as far as I remember this one was taken on one of the Birthdays and I only with I could remember whose Birthday it was.
But after the Fall 99 semester was over, people stared leaving and life started to get boring and I decided to start traveling. I visited a lot of different places both in and out side US. We always were taking a lot of photos, like typical tourists but I left most of them at home.
This picture was taken in San Antonio, TX after nice lunch in Hard Rock Cafe.
This one was made in Chicago and I remember that it was very cold at that time, but in general this is very nice city and I liked it very much.
No I did not go shark fishing, this is Universal Studio in Los Angeles, CA and I hope you already guessed that this is a copy of the shark they used to make Jews moves
This is Stone Rings Park in Utah
I hope you all can read this, but just in case this is notorious Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, CA
On a background The Mirage Hotel and The Caesar Hotel in Las Vegas, NV
This is me and my best homeboy Artem, our first year in US. It was taken in Chicago aquarium.
These two are graduation photos from Oklahoma City University.
Happy 2004 everybody!!! Moore, OK.
That one was taken in Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, CA, Fall 2000
This is a picture of my closest female friend with her ex-fiancé, Moscow Russia.
This picture was taken at my ex apartment, and you might think that we just getting drunk for no reason, but you'd be dead wrong. The reason for us to get drunk on that fine February evening was old Russian holiday: Day Of Red Army, which later was renamed into Day Of Defender Of Motherland (equivalent to US Father's Day)
This photo is my other graduation day, this one was back in Russia, after I studied in US for one year, came back, took some summer classes and got my Russian bachelor diploma. This photo was taken in Ulyanovsk, on the Volga River. Summer 2000.
This is a photo of my good friend (on the left) and his gang in Izevsk, Russia
In November 2003 Oklahoma City University had Miss International contest, and even though Russian girl from Ulyanovsk, Vera didn't win, still we cheered very loud.
This photo was taken on one of many birthdays we celebrate in Norman, OK
Like I said before we all from time to time want to be kids again and what is the best way to do so, if not play war games. So that what we do from time to time. Purcell, OK January 2005.
This is group photo from Vita's birthday. Since I am too lazy to introduce everybody to you I am not going to do that :)
Remember Haik? This photo was taken on his girlfriend birthday. Her name is Dejah and she is really cool person especially considering the fact that we hang out in her apartment a lot and most of the time we speak Russian... For those who are slow and still didn't get it, she doesn't understand Russian and most of the time she is the only American with bunch of Russian speaking people around, can you imagine that? But despite all that 90% of the people on that party were Russian speaking.
My friends asked me if I want to drive to Houston, TX to visit some guys they knew there and since I didn't have anything else to do I decided why not and didn't regret it. That trip was fun.
Once again want to remind you: These were kind of test photos and if you'll like it make sure you check main photo albums page with links to bunch of my different photo albums:

This
is a photo of my friend and her rommies from Atlanta
Here
is another one from Atlanta. And again my friend and her bodies.
Again
Happy 2004 !!! Finally it came (actually that year really sucked, at least for
me, and if it was a good one for you, my congrads). Oklahoma City Downtown.
4th
of July 2004. First time I was able to see that holiday's fireworks (after
living for 5 years in US :) ). Oklahoma City Downtown.
This
is my second graduation, I finally got my masters diploma!!! Oklahoma City
University, December 2002.
This
is just one of our get togethers, most of the guys on it are from my home town,
Ulyanovsk Russia.
And
we decided to go bowling...
This
is a picture of Artem 4 years after the top photo was taken. He
is back in Russia now, lives in St. Petersburg. Despite me being here and him
being there we still stay very much in touch what makes me really happy.
This
a picture of picnic we had in Ulyanovsk, Russia with my homeboys one of the
summers I came over from US to see my family and friends.
This
is one of my favorites. This photo of me and my guys taken at birthday party in September 1998,
many years ago. Some of us are
not friends anymore, some are barely stay in touch, but every time I look at
this photo I remember all good fun times we had together. Ulyanovsk, Russia.
That
photo was taken in our auditorium in Ulyanovsk State University during my days
there. It was so long ago that sometimes it seems like it was in another life.
This
one was taken when we went on a picnic on lake Thunderbird in Norman, OK Fall
2004 
This
is Indianapolis, Formula 1 USA Grand Prix. Andrei, Russian guy from Dimitrovgrad,
Masha from Moscow and me cheered for Michel Schumacher, Ferrari team.
These
are representatives of Russian speaking community in Norman, OK. Sad part of it
is that sometimes male part of it way bigger than female, so... I'm just joking,
it's just guys having innocent fun.
Would
you believe if I tell you that this guy is more than 30 years old? But this is actually
true. Don't we all sometimes want to go back in a childhood? My very good friend
Sergey from Ukraine does that quite often. Festival of lights in Chickasha, OK,
December 2004
These
are 2 of my closest friends Lelya and Haik. She came to visit me all the way
from Ulyanovsk this Christmas/New Years (December 2004-January 2005). Haik lives
in Oklahoma and met him over there. Photo was taken in Bricktown Downtown
Oklahoma City, January 2005
These
are Haik and Vita and as you probably guessed it's her birthday. I met her in
Norman, OK when she came over as exchange student from St. Petersburg for Fall
2003 semester. At this time she is back home in Russia but we all miss her a
lot.
And
again Vita's Birthday. After we finished all the food and were closing on
finishing all of drinks, we decided to sing some Russian songs. It was fun :)
Happy
2005 everybody!!! I hope it will be better year for me than 2004 was...
This
is photo of Vita and another girl from St. Petersburg who came for one semester
that fall, Lilya. It was taken on campus of University Of Oklahoma, Norman, OK.
This
is another photo of Sergey, my homeboy from Oklahoma. He works as a truck
driver, but actually at this time he is temporary out of job for the
reasons I am not going to mention here... :)
