As a professor at two of the many universities in Peter - I had a Skype session with some students I had back in 2004 and it was interesting how time has gone so fast - of the 7 that was on Skype 6 had at least one child while 3 had more than one - one guy was on his third marriage and many of them had travelled to many countries including the US and Canada - the interesting thing was all of them were part of one class I taught - and of that class of 18 students there was only one student with whom I had lost contact but all I have spoken with on Skype or keep in contact with on VK and FB - yes never forget your friends and for me especially those who helped me fit into Russian culture and Russian city
