Yaan, this is lovely! I got lost in it half way through until i realised, as you did, that you were still needing something to write about! well, you are a rather talented writer! and for someone from St Petersburg, your English is bloody EXCELLENT!!
Owww... you're flattering me, I'm blushing! :d
I think everyone can do anything if they make an effort. But it will take some time!
