Russian Sam is in OKC!

Yes, I found the same thing living down in Florida. UF does NOT have a football tradition...all their glory has come within the last 20 years!

Actually UF does have a football tradition, it just involves a lot of loses. The last 20 years have been the exception, not the rule.

[HOT ROD]

tradition usually means winning and/or championships.

Ilila, I'm guessing you are probably already on the way back home and won't see this for a day or so. It was good to share this adventure with you online and in person. (We took a drive together to Yukon.) I hope you found the entire experience rewarding. Please let us know if you post your travel photos or observations about this trip, other projects and the future. Perhaps someday I'll learn some Russian and be lucky enough to visit your country too. Good luck!

Thanks, indeed it were wonderful people, beautiful city, and nature. I am insanely happy that I was in your town. This is fine when your dream (even let partially) carried out!
Thank you for your hospitality!

By the way, does anyone know how I might get in touch with Russian Sam? I will be in St. Petersburg next week for a few days, and it would be a shame not to get to meet him...

This has almost nothing to do with this thread,just thought it was cool and Ilia would appreciate the hard work and time that goes into making scale models!Anyways check out this scale model of Shanghai!

[Bunty]

That's a city that will soon have 20,000,000 in it!

[metro]

Wow

[soonerguru]

Shanghai lacks density. Not.

[Spartan]

I think they need more buildings.

[dmoor82]

Anyone seen any updates from Ilia?His website is down and he hasnt had any updates on SSC or TulsaNow!

[Spartan]

I had some contact with him in St. Pete but I was too busy to have time to meet up with him, which I really regret. But I would guess he's doing alright...

[Kerry]

That looks like the surface of the Death Star from the old arcade game.

[UnFrSaKn]

I like to imagine this is Russian Sam's brother.

[dmoor82]
