Usually international students stay for six months or a year in Moscow. I try to keep in touch with all my buddies for a long time, even if they are leaving for other countries. I practice sending postcards on holidays, and with some friends we send postcards every month to keep in touch. Two of my international students have become my close friends. We chat and call each other every day. It’s always nice to know that you have a friend from another country. I was very lucky with my buddies.
