Going Into the World!
to Russia
In Iceland, Lava Zone was also explored. When I went to a place called Hberrier, there were many places where lava flowed slightly to the ground beneath the boiling ground, and large pools were submerged. You feel the heat as you set your bare feet on the hot surrounding ground.
When I looked closely at the scene, I realized the mystery and greatness of nature. If I had more time, I could see more, but I got on a plane to Russia to ease my frustration.
We flew through Moscow to St Petersburg. Moscow had a lot to see, and when I looked around at the Red Square, the Russian History Museum, the Shabby Art Museum, the Deputy Department Store, and Arbat Street, I had to stay a day longer than I had originally planned.
The first thing St. Petersburg did was visit the Russian Museum.
“John, this is where I saw it on TV. Thanks, John. My heart is pounding when I see it.” Jennifer holds me in her arms, and I feel a little different.
"Heh heh. Yeah, you'd better be impressed. You're always so clumsy. ’
It is said to be one of the places from the program I saw the last time I spoke to you, and it is well known as the place where Tchaikovsky first learned music.
Once inside, where Tchaikovsky learned music, details what he was taught from whom and when. Jennifer looks around hard, but I'm only interested in those ancient buildings.
The Museum of Russai was a stunning spectacle, as was the film from the former Soviet Union and the former Russian capital. It is said that these buildings, which were first built in the Russian era, accepted the Rococo style, were built for Duke Duke, the father of Paul I, and later built.
‘Phew. What the hell is this guy doing living in such a big place? ’
I think Grand Duke Sassam is admired. You've lived a long life. I'm so excited.
I don't know exactly what style it looked like, but it seemed like a Greek temple or some Roman architecture.
“It's like putting the White House together in a Greek temple.” On the other hand, it was similar to the exhibits I had seen at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and I remembered the appearance of the White House building on TV.
“Oh, how did you know? ”
Jennifer wonders how I know such things. It's like this. It's surprising. I should have shown you something about art by now.
“Am I right? I just took it on a hunch. But I haven't been in the museum for nothing. Haha.”
Jennifer grins at my self-indulgence. According to Jennifer, this was the neoclassicism and was the typical colonial style of the time, based on ancient Greek or Roman styles.
Although I don't care much about art and disclose money, I still think I need to build up my education somewhat. Jennifer explains everything gracefully. Heheh. You have a pretty face. Such a fancy hobby.

Anna majors in English at Petersburg National University. I lived in Moscow as a child, and I remember when McDonald's first opened in Moscow in 1990. The delicious hamburger that strangled my dad to go to McDonald's and waited three hours for him to eat! It was a cultural shock, and I've been admiring America ever since.
I studied English diligently to make American friends and want to go to America, but haven't made any decent friends yet. As a college student, it was not easy for her to travel to the United States. I listen to pop songs and keep up with Hollywood news on the internet, but I always regret it.
Anna has a pretty face and has always been popular with men because she cares about clothes or dressing up, but she is now dating her boyfriend who has been chasing her since the first grade.
“Boris, don't you love this music? I love this song. Isn't that great? ”
Anna, who was listening to Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time," one of the greatest hits of the year, gets her heart pumping, and if she's holding on to it, she's imagining herself singing in front of a lot of people like Britney.
“Yes, I like it. But Michael Jackson is the best. ”
Anna's boyfriend Boris is a bone marrow Michael Jackson fan. Pop's Emperor! Who will follow his name? I remember the storm Michael Jackson was in when he first came to Russia.
“Someone said Michael Jackson wasn't the best. But Britney Spears is a big deal these days.” Anna admires Brittany.
Anna and Boris are sitting on a bench listening to music from an MP3 player.
“But Boris, have you thought about what we talked about last time? ”
“Uh, a trip to America? Yeah. Let's go before graduation. I'll get the money. ”
“Really? Thank you so much.” Anna was happy and kissed Boris.
Anna wanted to go to America so badly, but she couldn't save up enough money. Combined with airfare and travel expenses, it is quite a lot of money, although the economy has recently been restored, but it is still at a high exchange rate.
Boris, his boyfriend, drives his car around, and he seems to have some money in the house, so I asked him last time, but I also don't give up on him.
In fact, Boris' father operates a local bank called Rossiya Bank. Whether it's small or big enough to run a bank, it could be quite rich.
Boris, who grew up in a wealthy family, was not very popular with girls as a child. Children are more interested in appearance, singing, or exercising than money.
Of course, they hung out because they said the house was rich, but there was no one to call their girlfriend, but even when they entered the university, nothing changed.
I entered business school according to my father's wishes and studied hard in my own way. I met some women in the heat of youth, but did not develop between lovers.
When I first saw Anna on campus in the third grade of college, Boris felt her heart beating. As soon as I saw Anna coming down the stairs with her long, slightly red hair, I felt like I wanted to make her my girlfriend.
I heard you went to English later, but there are too many men after you. Well, I was wondering which guy would leave it on that pretty face, but luckily, I don't have a boyfriend. I just chased him around, and then I started giving him gifts.
At first, he was troubled, but later, he accepted himself whether he was impressed with his abilities or moved by them.
I drove my father to buy a car all month to seduce Anna, but it was important that I got Anna's heart. It didn't matter why I changed my mind.
Recently, Anna asked me to go on an American trip with her, but I wondered what kind of cake this was. I don't know what to say and how to pay my parents, but when I think about going on a trip with Anna who I like, I feel better, so I can laugh.
Boris just loved Anna so much.
“Boris, shall we go to the softrock? ”
“Yeah? Sure. ”
Soft Rock is an American restaurant modeled after Hardrock, a chain of American TGI Fridays, and a decent pop restaurant that plays music from the '80s to' 90s.
It was also lunchtime, and in the afternoon neither of them had class, so I got in the car and headed there. Boris also likes American pop music, influenced by Anna.
Opening the shop door, Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror flows out.
“Anna, shall we go there? Not too many people yet, huh?” It's a little early in the day, so the tables are empty.
“Wait, Boris, look at that. She doesn't look Russian. ”
There is a beautiful beauty like a movie actor and an Asian person sitting in the corner, who looks so sweet as if they are lovers. Particularly, the woman was well-dressed with luscious blonde hair, but there seemed to be something there.
The Asian people who are with me are tall and loud. You two twirl around playing with your hands, wondering what you're talking about.
“Yes, it certainly looks a little different. You want me to go over there and sit down? ”
The two of them were curious and deliberately went to sit there.
Jennifer and I were walking down the street from the Russian museum. There were traces of the Russian Empire all over the streets, and I felt a bit of a joyful disparity in the appearance that was distinct from the United States.
“John, I love it. There's so much to see here.” Jennifer likes that all the places she visited were inspiring.
“Really? Let's take a closer look, then. I'm happy for you. I don't see much. Haha.”
“Why? John knows a lot. I didn't know John was interested in art. Of course, I knew it was supposed to be cool, but heheheh." Yeah. Thank you. Hehe.
Before I left, I read a book called "The Russian Journey." Of course, I remember most of the brainy ones, so I was able to give Jennifer a beating every time she talked. When I immediately talked about art, I got a little misunderstood about myself.
'I've never had such a fancy hobby. I'm busy making money.'
“Okay, what do you want for lunch? ”
“What do you think? But your name's a little funny, Soft Rock. ”
Across the street, I saw a sign called Soft Rock, which looked like a restaurant with a youthful atmosphere. I was playing American music when I got inside, but the atmosphere looks good.
Seated, the menu is mixed with American dishes. I looked around and I saw that most of them are in their 20s and 30s, and sometimes they seem to be foreigners.
“This is American style. The music, the atmosphere, it's a little freeing.” Jennifer looks around.
We talked about simple food and the music flowing out. Just as Britney Spears' song begins.
“Jennifer, you know what? ”
“What?” Leans forward to my gentle voice and closest to my face. I see curious eyes in those beautiful eyes. I always feel like I'll be sucked into my deep blue eyes.
“You're prettier than Brittany. You're my style.” I raised my hand slightly and stroked Jennifer's cheek.
“Really? John's cool, too.” There is no woman who hates being pretty. I smile a lot if I feel good about my story. But seriously, Jennifer was a hundred times bigger in both her face and body.
We joke about things like that. In fact, lovers don't have to do great things. Talking nonsense with someone who likes it is another flavor.
“Hello. Can I ask you something? ”
While prancing around, suddenly a woman sitting at the table next to you approaches and speaks to us. A moment ago, a man and a woman who seemed to be in love thought that their face and style were fine. The Russian woman's red hair was impressive, but suddenly she was dyed red and slightly blonde.
“Yes? What happened?” Jennifer asks cautiously.
“Not only that, but where are you from? ”
“Yes? I'm from America.”
“Sure, I was just wondering if you were being too nice. May I ask what you're here for?” The red-headed woman keeps talking about what she wants to know. Why aren't you answering anything? We were curious.
“Oh, yeah. We are traveling.” This time I answered.
“Do you mind if I join you? ”
He notices his boyfriend a little and offers to join him. I thought I had nothing to do with Jennifer in this cafe.
Jennifer also wanted to talk to young Russians, but she seemed to like it when she spoke English well.
“Please don't go this way. I'm John, and this is my girlfriend Jennifer. ”
“Yes, this is Boris, my boyfriend, and I'm Anna. ”
“Nice to meet you. Boris Kovalchuk.” Boris gives a slightly stiff greeting. This guy still hasn't run out of communist water. Tsk tsk.
Anna, Boris, and Jennifer were the first to talk about pop music.
Boris was able to have a good conversation, but I had an interesting conversation because I had a lot of questions about Russia.
“Jennifer, you're so beautiful. This blonde is so pretty. How can you have such fine skin? What kind of cosmetics do you use? ”
Anna and Jennifer are about the same age, so I think we're on the right track. Anna is friendly with Jennifer by asking if she wants to hang out.
“Yeah, you're pretty, too. Cosmetics are no big deal... just" Jennifer laughs and talks about whether she feels good, but she looks good.
Boris and Anna were able to get a lot of useful information. Especially since Boris is a native here, knowing where to go and what to see next, I was glad to be able to hear Russian thoughts about Russia.
Russia says that waves of freedom and youth have shifted since opening, and that the culture of young people's play has changed a lot, but if you don't look carefully, you won't feel much different from the United States.
“John, why don't we go to a nightclub tonight? ”
After almost two hours of eating together and talking, I became quite friendly. Boris doesn't seem like a very good guy, but he seems like a decent guy.
Anna and Jennifer chatter excitedly, but it seems like it would be a shame to part with each other. Boris suggests we meet again tonight, see if he feels that way.
“Really? What kind of place? Isn't it dangerous?” Russia was a little worried because they heard there were a lot of mafia that looked like a hunchback after they opened.
“No, it's not. And it's run by someone I know. ”
“John, Jennifer, come with me. ”
“Is that so?” Jennifer gives me a little heartfelt glance. I also agreed to see the nightlife of young people here.
