Hello XXXXXX!
It's nice that you want to continue our correspondence and I hope we
will both enjoy that with time.

In that letter I would like to tell you about my family. I was born in
a usual Russian family (it means 2 parents and 2 kids) in Cheboksary
city and I still live here. It's beautiful city, and in some letter I
will tell more about that and send pictures of my city(will you like
it?). But in far childhood my mother died because she had a weak
heart. It's great loss, because I was needed from far childhood
replace house keeper. So from young ages I knew how to prepare food
for 2 man. When other girls discussed different music bands or movies,
I cooked. But that helped me in my way of getting older. I haven't
lost my childhood, but it was the same as serious as kid childhood. So
now I'm good cooker, I could prepare many different food and if you
want to ask about which food I could prepare it's wrong question. You
need to ask which foods I couldn't prepare in Russian food. So answer
is I don't know... Maybe I could prepare everything, just give me a
receipt and I will make that dish! As for other national kitchen, I
never cooked it... Which food do you like by the way? Russian food is
Ok to you?

My father is alive(he's name is Evgeniy, but for me he's daddy), but
he live apart of me and brother. He moved to village outside of
Cheboksary, now he's running his farm-craft. At summer he grow
vegetables and I come to him and eat that healthy food. At winters he
made very good sauna and I go there and enjoy spending time there. I'm
trying to visit him as much as possible, usually on week-ends, but
sometimes you know job is stopping you from making some things... But
job doesn't interfere my life. I enjoy it. I run my small business
(party-maker). I can't buy me a brand new car, but small income and
happiness I receive there makes me to keep my job. I run parties at
many peoples, and many of them give my contacts to their friends, so
people are usually ask and ask me to make a party.

My brother is living with me. His name is Sasha and he's 35, six years
older that me. He lives with me, but to speak honestly, he relocated
to me not so long ago, about 6 months ago he break up with her girl
and moved to me. So now about 6 month he live with me and repair water
supply system and different broken things.

Once I will send you photo of me, brother and father. But not that
time, Ok? As I like to spend time around nature, no matter is that
walking in woods in father's area, or sitting in green park at summer.
Also I like to enjoy sunset which takes a mirror in a river. I
attached you pictures of me in father's area. One is around small
river(it's not deep, and I swim there sometimes, when it's warm). By
the way, I like to swim, I think it's the best exercise, if you swim,
your posture will be right and you will be easy with stamina. At
summer I usually go to swim to father, but at winters I visit city's
water pool. Second photo is me in woods. I can remember, that tree was
very huge, and I couldn't come over (hug) that tree with hands.

It was nice to receive your photos. With exchanging photos we could
get know more about each other, I like people's smile and if you have
photos of you smiling at the camera I will like them

Oh, I have some questions to you. Could I ask them? Do you like
nature? Are you magnetized as me to nature? What is better for you:
spending time in the city or sitting in the garden(if you have it)? I
hope you'll answer them next time and also feel free to ask me
questions if we're serious we will be glad to get know more and more
each letter about each other.

I'm finishing the letter.
Your friend Irina
