Testing...who is here?

Sometimes you write a post, and the words are like a huge echo. You have no idea where the words travel, who hears their tone, or in what country the human reading them is located. So, this post is just a short test to check blog traffic, and see who is still visiting LJ during the long holiday in Russia.

I can't imagine having so many days off in a row, as it is unheard of in the USA unless you are taking personal vacation. The country simply would not shut down for two weeks. I was off for too many days the past month because my office was empty, with no work to do. I almost went insane from idleness, but got to see some films in the cinema - the children's movie "Sing," "Passengers", and a very good and touching movie called "Manchester by the Sea." Plus, tons of old films on Netflix. :)

Who is here? :) Also, how many of you have heard of Dreamwidth.org? This is another blogging platform, with an interface similar to LJ. I am thinking about cross-posting there, as there is a mix of both Russian and English language blogs, in an effort to draw new readers and commentators to the blog. I want to continue to publish posts about my journey to the tiny gem called Georgia, but only if there are people to view the words and photos, to absorb the stories, and somehow find meaning, pleasure, or even aggravation in them.

Happy New Year dear readers! I hope 2017 is a good one...

Hello! Welcome to 2017! I hope it bring forward progress, not destruction and devastation. :))

I have the same hopes.
I wish you more interesting and unexpected journeys in the new year.

Thank you! I think I will return to either Georgia or Canada next month, as I always take an international trip for my birthday. The former is cheap and magical, the latter is closer but expensive. :)

Both will be better)))

It will be better for me to read your posts on FB, if you'll decide to abandon LJ.

O, you just added me right now on FB.)) Thanks

You're welcome! I am writing a lot on FB, and post real time photos there from all my journeys. Usually, I do not write about travels on LJ until months after I've visited a country. I'm lazy with travel posts, as they take the most time to write and process photos, etc.

I understand it pretty well)) I delay such things for some time and then once more for some time and very rarely finish.
