Moscow, Russia

Eastern Europe, My Archived TravelsBy Peter J RicciAugust 21, 2014Leave a comment

Moscow is such a huge city and its sights so spread apart. Taxis are a must (or getting to know public transport) and the Kremlin is a must. I spent a good week here, caught up with some clients, had some time to relax. It is a great city and of course the people are…

Kiev, Ukraine

Eastern Europe, My Archived TravelsBy Peter J RicciAugust 21, 2014Leave a comment

Although the revolution is over Kiev, Ukraine still shows signs of its previous and current struggles. Revolution Square (where I stayed) is still a makeshift tent city which seems to be taken over more by the homeless and less well to do people (maybe an excuse for some food and housing) than revolutionaries. But the…

Chisinau, Moldova

I was told once I arrived in Odessa and wanted a day to relax by my tour guide to go to Arcadia, Odessa, Ukraine. This is a nearby beach resort with different pools and seaside swimming. It is pretty amazing how modern and amazing this place is. A perfect place to relax!

Bangkok, Thailand

Asia, My Archived TravelsBy Peter J RicciAugust 21, 2014Leave a comment

Bangkok, Thailand is an Asian City trying to be a Western City, the problem is the poorest live in the worst conditions. Unlike Cambodia where the poor live a decent life, the poor in Thailand’s major cities have no choice but to live in squalor, the main reason is, it just costs money to survive.…
