Well Keni, let me field a few of your questions in no particular order.

The word "пиво" in Russian is P-E-V-O and pronounced "piva"; and yes it is beer. I have no idea what sisika is and am too lazy to whip out a Russian dictionary and look it up today.

I know this because I am an American who speaks moderate Russian and does orphanage work in Russia. I live in Dallas.

The countryside is amazingly beautiful..especially Siberia. It is a gorgeous country.

You are right about the activity on this forum. This place used to be awesome years ago, but everyone has left. Now it is as slow as traffic through Chernobyl.

I can't answer your other posts because I am not into hockey. But will definitely answer any question you might have that I can.
