Kazan (K-A-Z-A-N), Russia - "its kind of south east of Moscow, in the Volga River region. Its the cultural capitol of Tatarstan, home of the Tatar ethnic minority group. They're predominately Muslim."
For those of you who haven't heard my shpeel, that's about all I know of this place I'm heading off to the day after tomorrow. I've read about Kazan in the history books, but as for daily life today in this thousand-year-old city, I'll find out soon!
I arrive in Russia on the 26th of August and will be there till next June. I'll be posting pictures and stories and such, so check in every now and then! And lucky for you guys, they have spell check on this thing. :) (although it couldn't tell me how to spell shpeel)
