I've been to many parts of Russia, and they have been the equal or better of many parts of the US, including Southern California, Texas, Louisiana, the South, etc. No, I'm not picking on the South or Texas. America is a large country, and everything can't be like Manhattan. Now, multiply that by 4 and you can see what Russia has to deal with.

I added Southern California just to appease the rednecks on the board

Intersting observations by somebody who knows Russia compared to the comments from people here who only go by the hearsay they want to listen too.
