  1. Sounds like traveling everywhere in the late 90s and 2000s, a bit of a challenge. Visa issues, exchanging cash, not able to book much online. I kinda liked it back then.

  2. I don't get why Europeans, esp. Brits, think this is so unusual. You have Shrove Tuesday, where you eat pancakes. I mean that was 'a thing' until well into the 2000s when I was living there. Likewise in the US we have mardi gras..fat Tuesday. Maslenitsa is derived from the Russian word for 'fat' .. maslo. The idea is that you eat up all the animal fat before going into fasting for Lent.
