2014 is definitely the year of travel. In January we spent a few days in Bali with family rediscovering the island. In March, a much-awaited return to Moscow (last time I was there was 17 years ago) to show A the new and improved MOCKBA. This was followed by two weeks in Manila with …
In mid-March, after almost 16 years, I finally returned to Moscow with A (who was on a business trip). When I left Russia in 1997, after living there for three years, I didn’t know it would take me that long to go back. In the last decade and a half, Moscow has certainly gone through …
