Why I skipped the principle EventNO Deposit bonus $43

Those juicy cash games I USED TO BE enjoying such a lot this spring unfortunately dried up. After a couple of more weeks of significant action, most of the players moved directly to Las Vegas for the arena Series of Poker. I traveled there myself in the course of June to play a couple of events, but unfortunately I needed to skip the primary Event. I had an effective reason, though. I USED TO BE taking a visit to Russia.

Why Russia? I'VE a chum who have been living in Moscow for the last six months. He's a Mexican chef and was hired to come back over there and open a restaurant. He adapted rather well to the rustic and is already planning a second restaurant. Since moving there, he's been urging me and our group of friends to return over and visit him. However, our time was running out to take this trip because my roommate is getting married in a couple of months. So we found a great solution. We decided to have his bachelor party in Moscow!

This isn't Russia.

Even though the timing conflicted with the primary Event, I TRULY desired to go. I BELIEVED I'D get to go to Moscow someday, but never with a pal who's living there. Having a 'local' guide would make it much easier to get around and I'd even have someone there who spoke the similar language as me. All of the street signs in Moscow are in that funky alphabet and without him I BELIEVE I'd wander away pretty quickly!

I also had the chance to spend every week in London after EPT Monte Carlo. My girlfriend is studying art history and he or she was about to begin a three-month contemporary art program there. On the subject of art, I'm roughly a donk. I LIKE it, but if I'm at a museum, I never know where to move. So having her as my tour guide was perfect. My favorite place we visited in London was the Tate Modern. They'd a unique exhibit going on, a Lichtenstein retrospective. I ACTUALLY enjoyed it and learned such a lot. My girlfriend likes to tell me about the entire different artists, their backgrounds, what their process is like, and the meanings behind their work. Before I USED TO BE just paintings on a wall. Now I'VE some deeper understanding and it makes the entire museum experience a lot more interesting. So far, the Impressionists are my favorite.

Next time, I'll make sure you inform you guys all about our little Mexican invasion of Russia!
