BlowJobs: Yes, snow are heavy when filled in bags. its just like bag of garri.
from my personal experience without consulting google. Snow is frozen rain but so light it falls from the sky like feather. You know that Ice that easily dissolves when you touch the inner part of your freezer, that is exactly what we have falling from the sky. The problem is that the temperature is so cold that when they fall, they don't easily melt. They accumulate.
Just like we have heavy rainfall in Nigeria (between June to End of september/october), you know the rain that starts slowly (not heavy) and won't stop for days, that is the bad part about the snow. They accumulate everywhere and cars cannot easily pass and it also reduces visibility.
The other bad thing about it is that Days after a snow fall, temperature increases and the snow melts. Then, temperature drops and the melting snow fuses together and become ice. Now, ice is more dangerous that snow cos you'll definitely fall walking on ice and cars will skid off the road driving on ice. Also, it is harder to get rid of the snow when they turn to ice.
you know what happens when you touch a hot object like "hotplate", same thing happen when you touch a really cold object (especially metal like Ratchet used for changing tyres left outside in the cold), it gets so cold, it will burn your skin.
The only good thing i have seen about winter is the first snow, everyone is happy and then the pictures you take are so beautiful no matter how ugly you look . Everybody hates WINTER. i've never seen someone that liked it.
ps: it gets so cold that your fingers are toes start burning to a stage while you can no longer feel them and then advance to where you can't bend your fingers. you can literally freeze to death within an hour. Yes !! Our blowjobs is back

Meanwhile, here's a bit of trivia: Stanford, with an undergrad acceptance rate of only 4.65%, is the most selective university in America. For the 2017/18 academic year, just 2,050 students were granted admission from a pool of over 44,000 applicants. That means 95% of applicants were rejected  lol.. that's even better. MIT does not even accept up to 500 students.. |

Nuzo1: I will be lying to you if I told you that you won't encounter racism or other form of discrimination in Russia.
But the truth is that it's mostly on the ground of ignorance, communication gap and disregard for the laws and culture of the land by migrants.
Racism mostly occur in environments where migrants and even indigenes arrogantly or ignorantly refuse to assimilate into the culture of the host.
Black Americans are largely discriminated against after years of being in the country because they've refused to collapse of their cultures into the American national lifestyle. Even White southerners are mostly being discriminated against for this same reason.
Most Asians have a terrible case of isolating themselves in their own home, how much more in a foreign country. Americans may tolerate these but a typical European who grew up with the teachings of jante's law will not take this attitude, hence the discrimination. I've been opportuned to live in the same environment with North Koreans, bro, you can play football, table tennis and do other things with them for 1year without them saying hello to you. That's an extreme case sha.
Most Africans have a terrible case of lying, cutting corners, being loud and trying to outsmart the system. And an European will not take this, hence the discrimination.
Europeans have their own issues, but we are talking about how they perceive migrants.
That being said, if you are honest and at the top of your game (as a student or worker), you will attract friends and will hardly be discriminated against.
Characteristics of a typical Russian guy is no different from that of President Putin. Stern looking, unfriendly and hardly apologetic. He attacks you first if your movement suggests you may attack him. I think there's a subject in primary school that teaches them these. But they are very kind, friendly and willing to help if their interest is not threatened. Communication/language solves this for the most part.
Their ladies have similar attitude. Very resilient, unapologetic, honest and unafraid. They apply these in everything they do. Even in relationships. That's why when a Russian lady decides to go out with you, be sure to get a great deal of loyalty and attention. They go all the way. Aside from my mom and my Russian ex, I've never met any girl who was unnecessarily forgiving, kept my secrets and could go a whole ten yards for me. They make bonny and Clyde look unserious. That's why they make the most loyal spies to walk the earth.
Problem they are having with these migrants is that the migrants tend to abandon them for prettier and more financially stable girls. Worst so, the migrants leave unceremoniously after graduation.
Less I forget, both their young men and women can drink for the world in a galaxy competition. Funny thing is they hardly get drunk, especially their girls. That's why I always laugh so hard when I see British and american girls fall over and begin to do stupid things after taking half pint of light beer. Lol.
Like someone rightly advised, thread softly in the department of love because the beautiful and rich once may just be on their way. No even try Siberia. Cos na there you go know say supermodels like Kate Moss and Sofia no even fine as models.
All in all, have fun. Good and bad peoplepeople are abound in every corner of the earth. Nice and educative info. TochiPhotos where you dey. Come and update oo |

TochiPhotos: As a Russian man or man living in Russian, you're not supposed to be weak or show weakness in any aspect of your life. Men here are taught to be strong and fearless and to not be effeminate in any way.
Some times I feel the reason why Russian people appear unfriendly towards foreigners is because they can't speak English and would rather keep quiet and stare at you than look vulnerable and appear weak in your face by attempting to speak to you in terrible English.
This is just my personal theory because when I first arrived, I thought the guys that always looked grumpy in school were unfriendly but now that I can speak to them a little in Russian language, I've discovered they avoided talking to me because they don't know how to communicate with me in English and it made them feel bad. To survive in Russia and see the happiness and smiles hidden within that grumpy look of a Russian, learn how to speak Russian and they will like you a lot.
My Russian is still pretty bad but them seeing me attempt makes them happy and gives them a sense of pride and the super nice ones always offer to teach you and help you learn faster.
About Racism, I honestly haven't personally experienced any form of racism or discrimination since I arrived here, in the subway I haven't been stopped for a minute by the police to check the contents of my bag, maybe I don't look threatening or something. I see them stop others but only smile at me whenever I'm passing or just straight ignore me. Funny enough the people they always stop are people from the poorer countries of the former soviet union and Asians (except China), I don't know if they have beef with them or but in Russia, blacks have more respect and get better treatment than people from smaller Asian countries and former soviet union countries. There are many people from the developing Asian countries and the former soviet Union countries who come to Russia in search of a better life just like us and they are usually the ones who get discriminated the most and always stopped indiscriminately by the police. The last time I wore my customized Arsenal jersey to a mall, some people thought I was a footballer and asked to take pictures with me. Lol.. really funny  Meehn I just stumbled on this thread, lemme read till the end. This should be an interesting read. |

peacefull: I'm working. I didn't work more than 5years b/4. I lost work bcoz of I got sick and why I didn't wanna work @ that time is kind of mean back to him. I also paying to life since when I married unless I didn't have work. He demanded me to pay more than my wage. So I worked daytime and sometimes went to night work after finished daytime work b/4 I got sick. I told him that is so hard to me and nobody can pay for more than wage. When my money is finished, I always ask him to pay. Then when had discussion about money, he always said he is paying more than me. Yes. Is true. But if I didn't ask him, he just ignored. even if he saw our food is no more. Can you imagine that how much my feel like miserable. I was crying over and over when I told him. That's why I stopped look for work after my sick is gone @ that time. Bcoz I knew that if I'm working, just make for his playing money. And @ that time when I worked, I asked him if my situation is you, How will you pay? teach me how to do, I will try! that I said. And I gave him very simple question that somebody have 10 and have to pay20. like that. He said can't do that. Took 2years to get that answer. So I thought we solve. But when I started work, he do again. What I'm using my money to life. I can only use for myself is buy tobacco. (Sorry! I'm smoking tobacco woman.) And since when I married, my mom is save our life. She bringing food for us till now. He also helped my mom b/4. But which one is more? Answer is my mom! She always worry about my condition and worry about my child(her grand child). I'm feel so sorry about my mom. What about now? Same like b/4. He will not pay any money for our life in this month. And I told him that I can't pay everythings when I heard his travel plan. How can somebody can't go to hospital and can't buy enough food have to pay everythings who have a healthy husband? If I always wasting money for buy expensive dresses,shoes,bag, whatever like that, I can understand how much he don't wanna pay, how much feel so bad, how much he don't wanna care. But I have no money to get luxury things. Even I didn't go hung out. I bought his socks,underwear when I found out getting old or wear out after my pay day instead of buy own.
I never demand him to give me luxury life. I just wanna have normal life. Sometimes I just wanna have dating with him as like normal wife and husband. I don't wanna have feel like miserable.
What can I do for him again about money? I stopped talk about money. I just begging him to help me. That i'm doing now.
So miserable... But I think marriage is not for only money. You really don't have to narrate every bit that transpired. I would love to hear feedback about your future conversations with him. Let's see if the marriage is improving or heading to the rocks |

peacefull: Thank you! We have to discussion. But maybe difficult. If I'm telling him about money, he said he don't have money and telling me try hard, do your work. What he don't like is I can't do like his friend(Igbo)'s wife(Japanese). He always telling me that his friend's wife if husband is go back to Nigeria, they take care all of things by theirself. Even he go back to Nigeria by this time(3month) is bcoz his friends doing it. I told him I'm not married with them and I'm not their wife. And I never understand that somebody birth baby not up to 1year,husband leave them and go back to Nigeria. If work, I can understand. They never think about they loose work. Many peoples lost work bcoz of they took long time holidays by theirself. Not formally company holiday. In Japan who is foreigner get work is not easy unless if have professional skill. They demand them speak,read,and write Japanese. So they knows if lost work, life is getting worse. But they don't care. If wife and kids have hard life, if they are hungry, they still don't care about that. They can hear who is Nigerian. But they can't hear Japanese wife. I know Not all of them. Many Nigerian husband and Japanese wife are happy. I'm so happy with him. But once I remind how much hard my life, my fell like I don't have partner. What you and your man have is lack of communication. Though I ain't married but I believe a couple must understand each other to have a successful marital life. You two should come to an agreement regarding finances and the likes. Maybe you should work too because you're interested not pregnant nor disabled. Don't you think? Who knows, perhaps he came down to Naija because he wasn't making enough money in Japan? And he felt you're a burden. After all you two don't have biological children. Lastly,you're 38, which means you're still able to conceive. So I'd advise you to try and get pregnant for him to improve the bond between you two. No African man like being childless. We love and value children. We don't joke with it |

Bcoz if I haven't kind of situation with him, I'm not feel like lonely, I'm not cry behind him,I haven't hard life etc, I'm so happy woman! Could be he just married you for the Japanese permanent stay. That might also explain why he avoided having kids with you. And why he left you to go back to Naija and won't even introduce you to his family. Thats the scam I'm talking about. But don't jump into conclusions remember these are just speculations.

peacefull: Happy New Year!
Thank you for information again. I hope I can go to Nigeria someday!! I watched TV(CNN.JP) with my husband when they pick up Lagos. I saw very good hotel and restaurant. Then I said I like to go there when I can go to Nigeria. But he said there is just for rich peoples. Even I said I like to go to market when I saw it on TV. Doesn't matter if I can buy something or not. I like to walk around. He told me that there have many many shops. Even if I check Nigeria on website,I see some market pictures. I really wanna go!
Anyway, My husband say he stay in his senior brother's house who is married and have kids when he back to Nigeria. But there is also his junior sister and junior brother are living what he told me. And he said there have not enough rooms when he go there. So he told me he is sleeping in junior sister and brother's room. But b/4 he told me that somebody who is married person suppose to be can stay alone 1room. Then he was stay alone 1room when they were not around about 2or3 years ago what he told me.
But he told me about last time. There have also his sister in law's sister were stay. And all of them sleeping inside 1room. I asked him how? He said he and junior brother were on the be and junior sister and sister in law's sister were on the floor. I was very surprise it.
Is it common in Nigeria? What I can't understand is sister in law's sister also sleeping @ same room. I don't like it. I had something like jealousy when I heard that.
If that is nothing strange in Nigeria,I can understand why he was feel so bad when I told him I don't like it. But I'm not Nigerian. We have different culture. I wanted him to understand why I said that. But he said "you never ever understand it".
Is it common? Yes it's common especially in big cities like Lagos or Abuja due to the high poverty rate and high cost of rents. So many families resort to living in cramped conditions. You don't have to feel strange. Although your man could feel bringing you to Nigeria will mean spending a lot to suit your 'expensive' preferences. Maybe. But if you really wanna save your marriage you can save up and let him know you're coming over so you can figure things out. If he is married to another woman then that's a crime. Bigamy. Because he didn't let them know he's already married to you. Best of luck |

My advice for u is to forget about him sister, begin to leave a new life though u can sit him down and talk to him about those issue that u didn't understand his behavior anymore that if he can't do his responsibility again maybe he should quit and u divorce so that u can have some benefits from gorvernment as a single mom..wait and see his reaction,if u didn't see any change or take u to his parents try and divorce him
