[@cruel_brittania]

It's funny you mention sharing with the western world, because I was thinking how similar it was to so many small English towns, and I was expecting it to be so different. The little squares of flowers and benches, the murals done by school kids, even the park with the excercise equipment. English towns have also seen a decline in population in smaller towns where factories are closing down and big social housing blocks. I grew up in America, so it is quite different to America, but very similar to English towns in the North of England.

I have not been to Russia, but I have visited Mexico a few times and Guatemala quite a few times (8), focusing on Lake Atitlan and the towns around it, especially Panajacel and Santiago-Atitlan. I got to know some families in Santiago-Atitlan and learned a lot about their history, including how badly the Spanish treated indigenous people. They got very few tourists where I went, and everyone was very friendly, especially when I mentioned that I was from California, rather than from the U.S. They seemed to really like Californians but didn't have the same friendliness to people from other parts of the U.S., due to entitled tourists in the past, apparently.

:))We have free education in Russia, and therefore we do not need money for training, even in the most prestigious Russian universities and institutes....Moreover, if you study well, they give you a scholarship. At any institutes and universities, there are ALWAYS dormitories, the price for living in which is extremely low. In our country, the main thing is not the material well-being of the student's parents, but the level of knowledge of the student himself. If a child graduated from high school with the highest grades, then it does not matter at all whether he or his parents have money.And a child who has earned a gold medal at school (this is an absolute set of higher grades in high school) allows this child, no matter what family he is from, rich or poor, to choose absolutely any higher institution in Russia, where he will always be happy to wait.Personally, my two sons have received higher education and now have a very, very good job, and at the same time, neither I, their parent nor they themselves, have spent a penny on their education.

Always some small construction or projects going on, pavement is a little broken, but kids and teenagers are happy, laughing, and making the most of life. Sure, there is a bit of rubbish in the river or lake, but we go for a picnic, and it’s where we are happy. I think we make the best of where we grow up, and love it, even with the ugly marks.
