Hello,
How are you doing? I'm so glad to get your answer. Well, I'm and I'd like to tell you about myself. First of all, I have write to you because I know and heard much about your country. I have chosen to talk with you because I know English, I have been studying it at the university and I have been studying it in school for 4.5 years. So, I have decided to write to you, knowing that You will understand me without any problems and between us there will be no language barrier. Other reason, and probably it is the most important reason for a writing of my letter to you, it is that fact, that now I'm at the stage of registration of my visa to your country. I worked long time without holiday and now I have many paid days for rest. My colleague advised me to go to the travel agency and to choose travel for relax there. I have filled all necessary documents for the tourist visa and I look forward to hearing from embassy which is in Moscow. I have been told, that the answer will be ready in one week or less. I am glad, that I can see other country with interesting culture and people soon. I think it would be interesting to get to know you, at that time, while I wait the visa.
Maybe we'll interest to each other and then we can meet in the person. I can be naive, but I think it ' s very interestingly to meet somebody in other country. Whom you knew before only in letters. I wait much from this trip because I am very tired from work and loneliness. Well, let me tell you more about myself. I'm 28 years old, my height is 5 ' 6and my weight is about 55 kg (i dont know how it will be in pounds). I was born on the 15th of October, 1978 and I'm the Twin. And when were you born and what is your zodiac sign? Io think it's quite important to know this because we can learn the person better when we know his or her date of birth. I'm white Russian girl. And I'm religious. I'm orthodox Christian so I believe in Jesus. I'm single, I have never been married and I have no kids. I'm an open-minded person, I'm very sensitive and sociable. I love to meet new people and learn something new about different countries, different nationalities and so on. I love to read. My friends and family say that I'm very communicative and kind-hearted. (If they have not told so. Probably they would be not friends for me) What can I tell you about the city I live in? I love my city. It is called Kazan. it's situated about 850 kilometers from the capital of Russia Moscow. My city is very beautiful. But here it happens very coldly in the winter. I think, that in city practically there are no such strong frosts as at us and does not drop out so a lot of snow. In the winter everything is covered with snow and people have to wear warm clothing. We have a lot of fun at winter. I go skiing, skating and sliding with my friends and family. But my favourite season is summer, when the trees are green and there are a many different flowers. I often go swimming in summer.
By the way my city is located on one of the most beautiful river in Russia. It is Oka river.and what is your favourite season? What is the weather like in your city right now? Well, it's pretty long letter :) I did not think that I would be able to write so much! Once more I was happy to get your letter and I hope to hear from you soon!!! By the way I'm attaching my photo and I hope you'll like it.
Good bye!
our Russian friend,
Olga.

Hi,
I was anxious to get your letter. I like to read your emails a lot. I like to learn more about you. You interest me a lot!!! I want us to be closer to each other that's why I want to tell you about very important part of my life, about my family. I have quite a big family. I have Mom, two sisters and one brother. I don't have dad , he died 6 years ago right after my little brother was born. My moms name is Irina, she works in the hospital, she is a nurse. She have chosen this career because she wants to help people and she likes take care of people who need her help. My eldest after me sister is Tamara, she is 25 years old . She has her own family and a daughter. She is a seller in the shop. It's very hard to her and her husband to live and to bring up their child. Because my mom can't help her. My mom and I have to bring up my little sister and brother. My little sister is 10, her name is Ksenia, and she goes to school and my little brother is 6, his name is Sasha, and he is still in the kindergarten and he is going to school next year.I thank God that I have such a wonderful family!!!i love them to death. We spend a lot of time together and we never argue. I'm so proud of my family and I think that my little sister and brother are very smart kids and they will have awesome future and I'll try my best to help them! It is a lot of time, I give to my work.I work in private hospital as the stomatologist.
There can be it's not top of dreams, and I can do more, but I very much love this work, I love my colleagues and we have very fair and kind boss. Anyways don't think that because of my work I don't have time for my family or friends. Some how I manage to go for a walks with my family and friends. We go skiing and skatin in winter and we usually go swimming in summer as I told you in previous letter we have very beautiful river near my city!! I told my Mom and my older sister that we write letter to each other. They are every glad for me. My mom wants me to be happy and to find a man that I will truly love and who will love me too. She is happy that I write letters to you because she knows that I'm glat to this dialogue. Of course she wishes me happiness as any mom does to her daughter. She and my sister say hi to you. Oh, excuse me, probably it is boring to you to listen about all that. I hope you did not yawn, when you read it :)
Well, I do not wish to hurry event, but I have some questions to you.
These questions are very important for me. I would like you to told to me about that, what you are realy looking for? Tell to me how you see your happy life how you see your future woman? I have family, I have my sisters and the brother, I very much love my mum. But I wish to have my own family. I wish to have the house and the husband. This house would become for me silent harbour, coming in which I could forget about all troubles and problems. I wish to give my heat and love to my husband. May be I'm old-fashioned. But I very much wish to hear a phrase every
evening: " Honey I'm home!!! " Tell to me about all this CoolStyleM. Tell to me, what you should have in a life that you could tell "I'm happy on 100 !!!!" I hope that our desires and our dreams will be similar. I for a long time wish to find second half of my soul. Soon I will have the visa and I cann manage my travel. I cannot approve, I do not wish to do hasty decisions, but I think, that if we will meet with you in the person, It will be wonderful!!! Tell to me please more about your country, about your city. If I shall visit it what interesting places for tourists there is. What can I visit? Also tell to me please the name of the international airport which are nearest to you. I have no concrete destination of my travel, therefore, if for this time, while my visa is made out, we will become closer to each other, there can be I shall arrive in this airport.
You set me many questions and now I shall answer these questions. Whether you ask speak I English. Yes, I really speak, but it is not so good, as I still had " Russian accent ".
Well I have to go. But I really hope that we won't stop writing to each other!!
I have so much to tell you about myself and I want to learn much more about
you!!!:) Good -bye!!!!
Yours, Olga. PS: I do not know, whether you think about serious relations or you lokking for funn only and you dont need serious relationships. Tell to me in your following letter, whether do you consider an opportunity of ours meeting for real? It is very important for me, I will wait for your answer.

Hello my dear!!! I was very glad to read your last letter! I am very raised by our dialogue. I often think of my forthcoming travel and about you. I think of it in a day long and most fo all I think of it before laying down to sleep.I very much wait this moment. Today I went to travel agency, I filled there some papers. I've been told, that my visa will be ready next week. There is a chance, that following weekend we shall spend together. Oh, I am very happy. I feel myself, as the child, which opens gifts under a christmas tree. Tell me what do you think about our forthcoming meeting?
Do you think it's not so soon for a meeting? May be I hurry events. I hope, that it's not so and that our meeting will be happy time together. I very much wait for this moment. But if this meeting will be not convenient for you, you can tell to me about it. I'll understand, if you have no time for this purpose or if I am not interesting to you.
When I'll receive the visa, I buy the air ticket. When I have the air ticket, I'll send you the information on my flight. It is very interesting to me, how our meeting at the airport will look. I wait it so much. But during this time I'm afraid so much. I can't write adequately, ideas are confused in my head. I hope, that you will understand all that, what I wish to tell to you. I think, that you fell same mixed feelings of pleasure, happiness and fear and doubts. But I think, that all these doubts will disappear, when we will look in to one another eyes. I go on empty cold streets of our city and I think of how I shall meet you in the person.
Emptiness and a cold. I want, that this cold empty place in my soul was filled with somebody by his heat and care. I think, that you could be this person. I speak you all this and I am afraid a little, that you will not understand me dear. You probably think, that I'm naive woman. There can be it the truth, but it's that way like I feel and I wish to be frank with you. Any way, we can understood whether we made to each other, only if we shall learn each other better. I will tell to you more something about me. I hope it will be interesting to you read about my hobbies.
I think that people who wants to know better each other should have some hobbies in common. But actually it's not bad if they don't because it's always fun to try something new! Do you agree with me?
My favorite hobby is dancing!!! I love to dance!!! And I dance every moment I have free time:) it might sound funny to you but it's true!!! I did Russian folk dancing and ballroom dancing when I was at school. I tool part in different dace competitions and we often took first places.
I used to do ballet when I was little but I don't do it anymore it's kind of pity. I still do ballroom dancing though. Do you like to dance? If we meet each other some time we will dance for sure!!!
Also I like to do sports a lot. I played soccer at school.
Now I don't have time for it as well. But I still do skiing, skating and swimming as I told in previous letters. And I love to watch football!!! The first time I watched on tv it didn't make any sense for me. Then my friends explained me the rules and I become to love this sport. I don't have favourite team or something I just like watching people compete. Last year I got interested in aerobics. I do it from time to time. But sport and dancing are not my only interests.
I love to read, to listen to the music and to watch different movies. I'm keen on reading Russian classical books like "the crime and the punishment" of Dostoevsky, and "the war and the peace" of Tolstoy. These are my best books!!!
The first one tells about poor student who has no money to exist , he tries to teach kids to earn money but it's still not enough so he kills an old woman and robs her.
Later he feels ashamed and goes to the police office and confesses in his crime. Also this book is about hard life of poor people in St. Petersburg. The second book is about the war of 1812, and people's relationships during this war. I like books about love in general since I like to dream about true love!!!
I like to listen to different music. I like classical music, jazz, hard and soft rock. I love "the moonlight sonata" by Beethoven.
My favorite Russian bands are "Chizh", "Chaif", and "Splin".
Besides them I like Elton John, Aerosmith and some other groups and singers. From classical music I like Beethoven, Mozart, Shubert.
I watch a lot of movies. It's getting more and more good Russian movies with years but Americans are still the best! I truly think so. For example last year I was taken by the movie about Christ with Mel Gibson playing the main role. I cried almost the whole movie! Christ suffered for all people so much , he died for us. And I don't understand how some people don't believe in him!!!it's very sad when people are not religious!
In my opinion every person should have God in his or her heart!!
Well, that's just my opinion may be other people think differently.
There is another movie I like a lot. It's called "Forest Gump".
I can speak much about this film. It probably the best film in my life.
One of my hobbies is food! I like to eat delicious food.
I cook myself well!!!! I like to cook very much!!!
I often invite my friends over to my house and they usually say that everything I cook tastes very good. I like our russian traditional food too.
I like to cook bliny, borsh, Russian potato salad. I like fruits most of all because they are the most healthy food, there are a lot of vitamins in them.
Well , that's about it my preferences in music, movies and food By the way my mom and my friends ask a lot about you my mom worries about me. Moms usually worry about their kids, don't they?
So I better finish up. I hope you liked my e-mail and I want to know more about you!! I hope to hear from you very soon.
Every your letter is like a holiday for me!!!
Bye-bye
Yours Olga.
