You aren't moving to France, so when are you movign to Russia?
I'll be moving to neither France nor Russia for, like The Lone Ranger, I go where I'm needed most.
In order to comment on, or even recognize, the anniversary of important world events, we must be sarcastically invited to move to another country? What's up with that? OOOhhh, no mention of Bastille Day (that's July 14) for us, or we'll be run out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered, or made to suffer some other equally barbaric, boorish, and/or redneck fate. How's this - before inviting someone to reside in another country for mention and/or recognition of an event in that country, you must be able to answer all the interrogatives surrounding it (know WHAT it commemorates, WHO was involved, WHY, WHEN and WHERE). I feel certain that will weed out the vast majority of those who feel led to ask "so... when are you moving there", or "if you love Russia so much, why don't you marry it?" or similar uninformed, imbecilic, or moronic taunts.
For the record: I never proposed to Russia, let alone married her, but we went out a few times.
I loved your Lone Ranger retort.
