Happy New Year for ALL from Novocherkassk, Russia.

I tried to keep track of the time-zones and liked your posts as an "And you!" wish according to them. (So haven't you to go another 40 minutes, @levadny?)

However, the risk to miss someone is too high, and the procedure too complicated, so:
Thanks for all the wishes which I readily return. Most of all: stay healthy and lucky!

 

[levadny]

@fresh_42, Yes. Now in Russia (Moscow, MSK) 23-30. I not sleep, wait New Year and training in Duolingo :)

Yeah, Russia.
"The sun never set on the British Empire"
I think that goes to Russia (Sovyet Union?), as well.
From Bering straight to Romania, I think there are more than 12 time zones. Especially if we follow geometry in the northern part of Russia/Sovyet Union

You remind me on happy days in Владикавказ ...

 

[levadny]

Владикавказ? @fresh_42, Amazing! I was not there. But what is it?
Happy New Year ALL!

 

[fresh_42]

But what is it?

An ossetian marriage.

Year!

 

[zoobyshoe]

Two hours to go here in San Diego. It is currently raining cats and dogs, and I hope it keeps up through midnight since that should cut down on the usual celebratory gunfire which always makes me nervous.

Happy New Year for ALL from Novocherkassk, Russia.

Thank you for including ny( New York) in your name :).

 

[levadny]

It really my surname. When if find domain name I see many names kind of LevadNY.* with more costs. May be this because New York.

 

[fresh_42]

Thank you for including ny( New York) in your name :).

I've read that in former times, NY was called Neuyork here. Who knows, Новочеркaсск might be the Russian version. I mean, I wouldn't start in the US anyways, if I'd search for York .

 

[levadny]

Novocherkassk it is equal NY. Novo - it is New in Russian. And Cherkassk - name of oldest city in our region.

I understand the name : " NEw but not really that much so" York was considered briefly, ultimately dropped.

Sorry. Of course this doesn't happen in winter, November through February I think.
