Russia by Proxy

Our file is at the Russian Consulate!!!!

Our file has been through Canada's Foreign Affairs office and is at the Russian Consulate in Ottawa being legalized.

In honour of this WONDERFUL fact, I wanted to do a post about Russia, and share a few facts about the country that will make us parents.


#1: Red Square, in Moscow, is neither red nor square.
It's more of a triangle, and the word square is akin to the the meaning Canadians attach to plaza.



#2: Baikal lake is the deepest lake on Earth.
It would take all the rivers on Earth almost a full one year to fill.



#3: The Russian language does not have equivalents word to the English 'the' and 'a'.



#4:The Mir Diamond Mine
The hole is so big that airspace above the mine is closed for helicopters because of incidents in which they were sucked in by the downward air flow.
