Part of 1997 was spent in this apartment in Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia. Click on the picture to see the kitchen. This was not 5 star accommodation but the apartment had character and provided a much better glimpse of life in Russia than a hotel stay would have.
The footballer was one of the many children in the apartment complex. The boys liked to play pranks on me like heating the #7 button on the elevator with a lighter so that when I pressed it, I smashed the button and burned my thumb. This guy tried to trick me into saying vulgar Russian phrases to the neighborhood girls.
Kazan is the capitol of Tatarstan and home to the Kazan Kremlin.
My friend Sergey has provided this link for more information on the Kazan Kremlin.
I have posted some photos from in and around Kazan. Stop by, take a look and please leave a comment.
