News from Perth. (Letter from Vitaly Vidavsky)

Thursday, April 17th, 2003

Hi everyone! Hello from the Downunder!

We decided to break the paradigm and prove that there’s anything besides Russia, Canada, and the USA. We found it very different from anything we’ve seen before. The overall lifestyle here in Perth is usually compared to that in North America 15-20 years ago. (Except for the shopping hours - with “shops” open 9AM - 5PM and closed on Sundays, these are inherited from Aberdeen or another shithole in the UK before the Vikings invaded it).

Since we arrived, the things started rolling like a snowball.

Letter from Prasanna Manapaya

Friday, April 4th, 2003

Hi All Old KAO’s (I did not mean chaos) & additions! I hope all of u are doing well and healthy.

We landed in Toronto weeks ago.  I’m in the middle of CN Tower and Niagara Falls. Now u all know where to locate me. Come and “Just ask for Exotic”.

My eldest daughter started schooling in Toronto. She is in grade 5. The new addition is nearing 2.5 years and she is still struggling to choose a language to talk. At the moment she speaks a language similar to Russian. We are having an excellent family life as always.

Pretty cold and blowy these days in Toronto. It was sunny & nice, two weeks ago.

We wish u all-all the very best and prosperity!

Cheers! 
Prasanna, Natalia, Careena & Dahlia
