It's the Russian in me.

Hello lovelies! It has been a minute since I last blogged, but I'm back, so welcome! :)  As you can tell by the title, in this blog I'm basically going to write about where I grew up (Russia, specifically, Yekaterinburg) and why I love it so much.  Little general info about us (Yekat, as I will refer to it): we're the fourth largest city in Russia (after Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Novosibirsk); Yekat was founded in 1723 and ever since then was one of the industrial centers of Russia (we have a lot of metal, lots of factories, etc); we stand on a river called Iset; lastly, we are the capital of the Ural Region (cause naturally we had to be a capital of something, right?). And yes, I pretty much knew all this by heart because one of my wonderful teachers in school taught us all this and much more, I just looked in Wikipedia once to double-check myself.  But before I bore the crap out of you guys, let me just say I LOVE my home city. I mean, look at these pics! :)...
