10 Fun Facts About Me
- I was born and raised in the former Soviet Union. My native language is Russian. Therefore I despise articles in English language as something that is entirely unnecessary.
- I moved to US at a ripe old age of 25 after graduating with M.S in System Engineering from Radioengineering University in my native city of Minsk.
- I started my work life in the States as a software engineer for a small start-up in New York City. Now I am a product manager in a software division for a giant technology company in the Silicon Valley.
- My work took me places. I visited almost every state of the United States and about 15 European countries.
- My three top travel memories – New Year 2000 in Paris, Egyptian Pyramids and Santorini.
- Having my daughter was an unexpected event, and the best thing that ever happened to me.
- My husband is a friend, a lover and a best father ever.
- My favorite movie is Forrest Gump, and my favorite book is A Stranger in a Strange Land.
- I don’t watch TV. Instead I spend all the time freed from TV watching on the Internet. I can’t imagine how we ever lived without it.
- I am tone deaf and can’t play any musical instrument.

Where in the Soviet Union were you raised? I spent a year in Kazakstan and a summer in Latvia. My Russian isn’t as good as it used to be, but I still think in Russian sometimes.

In reply to Jennifer – I was raised in Minsk, a capital of Belarus. I came to US when I was 24 – a very long time ago
And thanks for stopping at my blog!

Oh, think everyone who has every heard me sing at church or a nursery rhyme would agree I am tone deaf, too! I have barely traveled…I have always lived on the East Coast, but have been to CA…my only other country was Canada.
