Thumbs up

Thanks for the pictures brother Pablo-UA. By the way, what does -UA mean??

It should help us appreciate all the nice things in the USA, and other richer countries. Its amazing the prosperity, peace, good and plenty we enjoy here. And the pretty fair, honest government we enjoy. No, we're not perfect here, but so much fairer to our citizens than Mexico, China, the former USSR maybe? anywhere that the leaders enrich themselves and the working citizens are suffering with little or no help.

We are UNUSUAL here because of our standard of living. We may think it is USUAL & NORMAL if we don't know how most the world lives. Even the English don't enjoy a standard of living as we do in the USA (I've heard).

Even our poorest people enjoy carpeting and air conditioning in our houses, electricity, running water, television, cell phones & plenty of food sometimes without even working! (because our government will support them) We actually have had it so easy that the last few generations are lazy and spoiled, expecting even MORE than we already have!!

It's a blessed country where anyone who will work can live pretty well if they're not wasteful. Thats ANOTHER thing I don't like -> the amount of WASTE in this country.

Sometimes the ordinary citizens in other countries may know more about what real living is than the US citizen...? Oh yes we are smart & educated, etc but how many now still know how to live without electricity & running water, to hunt for food, fish & grow vegetables? Actually, alot of us could adapt to poorer living.. it's just that many of us have never had to try it! I have and I appreciate electricity more than anything. Running water 2nd. Maybe telephones 3rd. internet is so nice too

UA is Ukraine.....

yes, Roads of European part of Ex-USSR are of normal quality, becouse Cities are close one to enother, about 20 miles, but Ural ans Siberia are very large, roads are in good condition for off road races.... distances are very long (from 200 miles) and just imagine, for more then 200 miles U are along in Tayga (siberian forest). There are places, where it is impossible to drive and cars and trucks are delivered via railway.
Russia has a network of state railways with electric wires trought all the Siberia. So they don't use diesel locomotives. Russian tranes are usually long, about 60 vagons (65 tonn of payload every vagone).

Without helicopters and planes life is impossible there.

I thought that Alaska is like Siberia. Very cold, forests, no hightways, many helicopters, gold, oil and diamonds ander ground. Bears and tigers... no.. there are no tigers there. Tiges are in wested Siberia, near Amur river.... :-))

pablo,

Aero is like what is made in Izevsk the AK-47
works well in the mud, cheap to built, rugged, reliable and fast
like a Lugansk woman?

if you visit Alaska in your Aero Pablo, stay away from the Eskimo women. They'll try and drag you off to their igloo, snow/ice house

Yeah, I think so. Mr. Kalashnikov, designer of AK-47, drives ford too, but he drives Focus. Better for Urban area.

A lot of the roads in Alaska are built on permafrost, and those parts that actually thaw out every once in a while will turn what were once smooth straight roads into roller coaster tracks. It's common to see cars and trucks driving along seemingly fine, and suddenly hit a frost heave and bottom out their suspensions. I once saw this yokel drive too quickly over one of those in his jacked up 4wd Blazer, and the pavement actually flipped the truck over to the side of the road.

On another note, Playboy once rated the women of Fairbanks as the least attractive in the States.

if you had to sleep in the back of an Aero at -40 below in the dead of a Fairbanks winter with 5 dogs you would have a bad case of ugly also
