Found Yandex! 

I saw a bunch of robots coming out of a parking lot, so I went to see where they were coming from, which is how I found their headquarters.

Also found what I *think* is the Yandex mapping car.

Been using Yandex Search for years, but I'm new to Yandex Maps and the details are wow. The purple dots, how many stairways in your route, which burns how many calories. Even the benches are noted, which people then review 😄 Btw the robots are bigger IRL than they look online.

Need help please, with a phrase. I’m trying to say, “thank you, this is kind of you” but it never seems to translate, and I get blank stares. I say: Спасибо, этот добрый от тебя.

Can’t link to store, it is now closed. Try that search term, though. 

Advice - if you see it available, buy it immediately; this type of merchandise disappears super fast.

I’m in a tough position with my blog. This blog is about moving to Russia, how to do it, and what you’ll find here. 

But to *explain why* I left Canada, well… not cool to arrive in my new country, and start disparaging my old one. 

Even if it’s true. See, the Canada most people know, that version no longer exists. WEF, WHO, mass immigration, SDGs, all already installed. NWO testing ground. 

Reputational management keeps the ruse going, because the place is on fire and the world has no clue. Evil genius. Example - yesterday’s news was not shocking to me. Would not be surprised to learn this whole time, the conflict planning has been headquartered in Canada. See next post. 
 Anyway, thinking aloud, don’t know what is the correct move, so I keep quiet.

I wandered forever today. 9km of no destination, just happy to be here out in the sun. It was so busy tonight? Got home at 11pm, and it was still a zoo. Finally made it to the Kremlin; here 2 months, 1st time. The security of the place amazes me, how there isn't any (visibly.)

Discovered the Cheburechnaya USSR restaurant chain. Have been living on them a little, the cheese ones. Photos for my car blog are so easy here. And love how you guys drive.

Put Russian around your home. Seeing it in your peripheral helps the words to stick. 
Had this in my bathroom. Brush my teeth, learn the colours.

Просто законченное зачислять в школа. Два раз каждый недела для три месяца, в классная комната. До свидания неправильные окончания! Мне взволнован 🤓

Something changed over the last 24 hours - I can see @RT_com Appears in my feed, sometimes I can click through to home page, sometimes not, I can like posts and watch the videos. It’s inconsistent and no clear pattern, but, for the first time I can see them. Can you?
