    Come to Russia. If I still have a place in Tomsk by then, I'll show you around.

You got me driving the streets of Russia on google maps again...

Ah thank fuck I'm not the only person who does that. I love Maps.

I drive around NYC sometimes, as a matter of daydreaming. It's the city I want to visit in the US.

Gotta try different ones. LA and San Fran should be a good start. I keep anxiously expecting to be disappointed in what isn't NYC...

My brother is going to NYC for a wedding this year, I'll get his input as a small-town non-American for you.

But I've also driven around it, absolutely amazing stuff. London is intense too, so cramped.. then you've got my town and it's all.. like there's space between houses on the hill up there!
