8. What are your fondest memories of Siberia and its people?

Siberian summer picnics. The music people made together. The food we ate during celebrations. The toasts. The drinking. The tireless joy. The first snowfall of the year; it is always an inspiring event. You'd think that the first snow of a long, dark, cold Siberian winter would feel foreboding. It doesn't. It always seems auspicious.
