Thank you for sharing your experience and it is good that you can put your thoughts "on paper", sometimes there are so many things go through the mind and even you can catch yourself having found a solution for a problem that you were trying to resolve for a while.

The nice memories you shared are really appreciated by every person who anyhow has any connection with Russia, this is really beautiful, multicultural country with a big heart and it is a shame that due to the stereotype of Russia in our mind many people have not tried to discover this country.

It must be awkward to walk through the night airport, that reminds me the movie "Terminal" with Tom Hanks. Have you had the same thought when you were there?
