Introduction

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." 

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

It doesn’t matter why you decided to go abroad even if it’s just on vacation, the first experience you’ll usually get when meeting people is – answering their questions. ALL kinds of questions. From the simplest ones through the more complicated ones until the most intimate ones. You just have to accept it and deal with it the best you can to satisfy everybody. And I should confess that it is not always easy...

Next questions asked to Foreigners...

How did you learn the language so quickly without any background?

Before coming to Russia, I already knew a couple languages, as I studied them at university and have already lived in different countries since I was 17.
