Hi, my name is Zena Yoon (for those who've known me for a long time - no, I did not get married). I'm 21 years old, will be 22 on Aug, 3 (hopefully). I live in Tomsk, Russia. It's a small town (about 600,000 people) in Western Siberia. I've been told by my friends that it's not small. OK. It's a huge town. I'm pretty sure Tomsk is not London :)))))) but it is a nice place with all the wooden architecture and everything... It is also a research center, there are 6 unuivercities and a lot of institutes and so on. For me it's just a town where my family live and where I'm always welcome and wherever I go I see people who know either me or my parents or my friends, which actually can cause certain problems, you know, like when.. you know what I mean :)) I'm a normal girl with a normal life. If I had only three more days to see, as Helen Keller says, I'd spend them not in museums but among people - family, friends, just strangers. What would you do?
