First you need to check your spelling, because you won't find anything spelling Alaska and Resources as you did.  \n\nThen do Google searches on \nAlaska + Yuppies\n\nAlso try them all at once ... \nAlaska + Yuppies + Religion + Family +  Geography + Resources + Food + Economics\n\nAnd then individually\nAlaska + Yuppies + Religion\nAlaska + Yuppies + Family\nAlaska + Yuppies + Geography\nAlaska + Yuppies + Resources \nAlaska + Yuppies + Food\nAlaska + Yuppies + Economics\n\nGood Luck

Just in case that'll happen to you, poor thing... First, always have something warm to wear. It's really cold over there :) Second, just make sure you know a couple little phrases for a start:\n\nEnglish: I'm from America and I'm lost.\n* Russian: Ya eez Amerike, e ya ne kak ne mogu nayete dorogu nazad.\nEnglish: Can you help me?\n* Russian: Ve mozeyete mne pamoch?\nEnglish: Do you speak English?\n* Russian: Ve govorete po Angleyski?\nEnglish: How do I get to the nearest phone?\n* Russian: Gde ya mogu nayete bleezayshey telefon?\nEnglish: Where can I stay for a night?\n* Russian: Gde ya mogu ostanovetsya na noch?\nEnglish: How much is the room in the hotel for a night?\n* Russian: Sckolko stoyeet komnata na odnu noch?\nEnglish: How much does a plain ticket [city/state/country] cost?\n* Russian: Sckolko stoyeet beliet na samoleyot do [city/state/country]?\nEnglish: Can you tell me where I can find. .. ?\n* Russian: Ve mozeyte skazat mne gde ya mogu nayete...?\nEnglish: Where's the bathroom?\n* Russian: Gde u vas tualet? (Gde u vas vannaya komnata?)\nEnglish: Where can I find/get something to eat?\n* Russian: Gde ya mogu nayete chtoneybut poyest?\n\nAnd, other helpful words/phrases to know:\nEnglish: Hi. How are you?\n* Russian: Prevet. Kak dela?\nEnglish: Thank you\n* Russian: Spasibo\nEnglish: Have a nice day\n* Russian: Vsego horoshego\nEnglish: Bye\n* Russian: Poka (Dosvedaneya)\nEnglish: What kind of money are you excepting? (meaning $'s)\n* Russian: Kakuyou valluetu ve preneymayete?\nEnglish: What's the Dollar vallue?\n* Russian: Kakaya stoyemost dollara u vas?\nEnglish: Do you except Dollar money?\n* Russian: Ve preneymayete dollare?\nEnglish: Where can I exchange Dollars for Rubles? (in case, the answer to the top question is a "No")\n* Russian: Gde ya mogu razmenyat Dollare na Ruble?\nEnglish: How much will it cost? (you can ask this question addressing anything that you'd like to buy)\n* Russian: Sckolko yeto budyet stoeyet?\n\nIf you'd like you can use the nice people's phone and call to your friends/relatives/anyone who can help here in the United States. People in Siberia also know a little bit of English and at times speak perfectly in English and Russian (depending whom you're going to talk to). Those people can be your translators when you need one. As far as I know they'll be more than happy to help and assist any tourist or new-commer to their area in any way they can. Of course, some people will treat you like a 7-year-old child who's lost in the middle of nowhere, but I believe they'll mean well when they'll be helping you out. Just make sure you'll be able to somehow explain what's going on and what you're trying to do and/or looking for :)\n\nI hope it helped somehow :)\n\n\nP.S.: Just in case you'll be going to Russia, make sure you'll have the little pocket translator with you and have it in a safe spot with you at all times :) It'll help you out in any situation you'll find yourself stuck in. And, find something warm to wear in winter times, because the temperature in Siberia especially can drop down from -25 to -45 Celcius (Or, about -13.0 to -49.0 Farenheit) on average in some areas. In some places it's either a little bit warmer (by about 10 degrees) or colder (by about 10-20 degrees)... Russia is beautiful coutry to visit and stay in :) However, use caution and take care just like you would in any other place that you're visiting for the first time.\n\n** Just to let you know an additional piece of information, as of June 11th, 2006 9:29:45pm (Califonia, U.S./Pacific Time):\n\n27.0465 Russian Rubles (RUB) is equal to 1 US Dollar\n0.037 US Dollars (USD) is equal to 1 Russian Ruble\nThis is updated every 30 minutes by http://www.xe.com/ \n\nSo this way you won't get wripped off in the Foreign Currency Exchange :) When you'll go to another country make sure you'll have enough money (Doll

Use the Yahoo People Search, or go to Alaska, so you can talk to your great grandfather though auroras.

it all depends where they came from. If they came from Europe then try a search for ellis island or something like that

On craigslist. There are usually some who post ads...or post an ad yourself.\nAlso try foreign exchange organizations. They have students come over on a Summer Work and Travel Program. There is an organization in San Rafael called Face The World/American Work Adventures that will certainly have Russian College Students here for the summer. I'm sure they'll find someone for you.

read articles by Kevin Sites (on Yahoo) for his travel diaries. Also, you can do a google video search for a travelogue of a group of American tourists and their account of how they see the country ... very nice.
