Yes, Vladivostok and St Petersburg have always been in my mind since I was at school! There are so many connections and untold stories about past Thai monarchy and the Tsar! One of my friend’s relatives has a Russian great grandmother who was connected to the royalty. The mystery always fascinated me!

Your story about your grandfather was very adventurous! I think people from older generations seem to have more energy and what it takes to have a full life!!

Cheers.
