Hello, WSmith!

I can understand how the Asia-centric nature of this forum is not appropriate for your interests.

Here's a weblink for Dave's ESL Cafe -- Russia and C.I.S. discussion forum:

You will be required to register a user account, which will be verified. You must wait perhaps a day or two for account confirmation.

Hopefully, you can find some new friends and colleagues there.

Best wishes to you!
