From youtube, a very detailed exploration of Sakhalin.
A friend of mine lived there several years drilling oil wells for Exxon. He had to leave when the war broke out. He seems to have brought back a Japanese lady friend with him but I have yet to meet her.
Did he like it there? I am curious, it seems like a very pretty island.
I believe he did. He said the winters were brutal. I guess he got to tour a lot of Asia on vacations.
“I was so thrilled this popped up for me! What an amazing journey to a place I will never see in person.”
Americans are still permitted to visit Russia...for now.
Well that’s good...for now
Seriously, I have wanted to visit Vladivostok and the eastern Russian regions since I was a child...even the diomedes
It was written that Ted Turner had bought a huge spread on Sakhalin. I wonder if he still has it.
