Free Time In Hawaii: "If I have some free time, which is quite rare, I like to go to the beach or just walk around. I love Hawaii, it is a really beautiful place with very nice people."

Free Time in Russia: "You know, I don't think it differs too much from how I spend free time here, in Honolulu, because my hometown is also surrounded by ocean, and ocean, to a greater extent, defines how and where we spend our free time. In this sense, our summer activities are kind of similar. The only significant difference is winter, which brings with itself a diverse range of other activities, like skiing or ice hockey or, don't be surprised, a b-b-q out in the nature. There is something special in going for b-b-q in winter time. We call it shashliki though, instead of b-b-q. "
