Well tomorrow I start my 3 week trip to Tyumen, Russia. Never been to Russia before so this will be a new and hopefully good/interesting experience. It's still pretty cold over there too with highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s and 20s. Quite a change from South Texas!
Safe travels! Quite an experience and I hope you'll enjoy it. Hope you can post up some pics like you did on your last trip.
SAfe Travels Bro... GEt back to the texas weather soon man
Going for "fun" or work?
Hope all goes well. Pics are always great.

Just don't have too much fun and end up like this gentleman.
It's not exactly TX weather-- bring a coat. Hope you like Vodka. Be safe. Looking forward to another round of great pics!
I got a hoody in one hand and my Carhart in my suit case. Standing in the security line now at bush intercontinental. 11 and half hours to Moscow, then a 10 hour layover for a 2 and half hour flight to Tyumen. I could probably drive there in less than 12 hours lol

That moment right before you board a 12 hour flight that you realize you left your Bose headphones at home

WHAAAAT? Sorry. Couldn't hear you. Had my Bose headphones on.
During my flight I realized that I also left my work laptop charger as well as my work data handbook thing that I need. This sucks

What a contrast between the old & new buildings.
Place actually looks worse than Cleveland, OH.
Yup, almost as bad as Toledo.
I thought everything was painted grey and everyone wore gray, matching clothes. Stalin would not approve.
Cool that you are having this opportunity.
Nice photos!
But what kind of training did they have to send you to Russia for?!!
Well cementing technical school. We have three training centers, one if Tyumen, Russia, one in Abu Dhabi, and one in Kellyville, Oklahoma. When I enrolled in the class the only one that had a released schedule was in Tyumen so that is how I ended up here.Quote:
