Got invited to my friend's wedding next year, in Moldova. I met her in Montreal, where she moved for university. Then, she went on an exchange semester to Germany and met this half-german half-Japanese guy with who she eventually moved to Australia. And now they're getting married in her home country.

Talk about an international couple eh?

I don't know if we're gonna be able to make it, but I'll certainly do my best :)

Aren't you and (if I recall correctly) Алексей not alike that? I gather that he's Russian as well, judging by the free Russian speech flowing from him in one of your videos (you spoke Russian in the background), but there you are, living in Canada and speaking English.

He's actually from Kiev (Oleksandr on his passport) but speaks Russian just as well as Ukrainian :)

I'm born and raised in Canada and that's where we met. Not nearly as international as my friends, but it's true that we come close!

Now that you mention it, I do remember you addressing him "Саш", not "Лёш". (on a sidenote, it's peculiar that we discuss what amounts to Slavic matters in English on an English-speaking forum)

How did you meet? Did you just bump into each other on the street?

We were working at a summer camp together :)

Is it the same kind of summer camp as in Russia, where kids get to be far away from cities and closer to nature?
