I will be out of country for October 2-18. Not sure if I will have instant internet connection. If no, please let me reply later. I have asked postman to not bring my post these days, it will wait for me in post office.

July 09, 2012 I moved to another clinic where I have my own room. And laptop + gprs internet. I will go home on July 11. Finally! I will rate all my swaps right away. Sorry for delay.

July 03, 2012 I'm still in clinic because I have an injury internal parts of the body, not only bones injury. I don't have notebook on me because it may be stolen here, but friend gives me their when visiting me. I will reply all messages after coming home but if you have really urgent question, e-mail me on daarhon at gmail.com

June 23, 2012 I had an accident so my response might be not so quick for next few days. All my swaps will be send on time, don't worry.

21 March 2012 Today I have received small package from Canada. Candies inside but no swap or member name included. Also no name on envelope. Many thanks to anyone who sent it but if you'd like me to rate you please pm me since I'm puzzled :))

Please read swap-bot FAQ

- What do I do if I didn't receive a swap package for a swap I participated in?
- International packages can take a very long time to arrive, sometimes up to four, or even six, weeks. Remember that you can rate your partners at any time, so unless you have some other reason to think your partner has not sent, you should allow an appropriate amount of mail time before giving a poor rating. It is also good etiquette to contact your sending partner before rating them poorly.

Mail from Russia to USA (Canada, Australia) usually travel for 20-30 days. A little less to Europe. BUT! It can travel up to 60 days.
Please, be patient and don't get disappointed with me very soon =))

I will always contact you in a month after deadline.

Russian mail service is a little... well, uncivilized. I'm living on the outskirts of the city and have only one postbox here. I'm dropping almost all my swaps in it. But they can be marked by the main post service few days after dropping. There is nothing I can do with that. I'm trying to drop swaps earlier. I haven't any bad response from partners yet, but if there will be any I probably will quit swap-bot because I'm too tired to go to center if city to find any another postbox. Nobody loss, I swear :)

Except that I'm a good swapper :)

If you haven't received something from me, please contact me. And I never rate low my partners (unless they are obvious flaker) without any message.

I'm always send type 3 swaps by registered mail (except very small ones like tea bags swaps). Please remember that my package will be postmarked in main post office only! When sending it in local office I'm just paying postage and getting receipt. Package became registered in main office. It may takes up to week for local office to send package to main office. If you get my package dated AFTER deadline and have doubts PLEASE pm me and I will send you photo or scan of receipt with real date.

I'm 28 years old God's creature, living in the cultural capital of Russia with my girlfriend. =) I spend last 7 years trying to avoid telling lie in any form. It's hard sometimes but I'm happy with eventual result and person I became. I can keep silence sometimes but I will not tell a lie. I think it's important thing to know about me.

I try all my best to be interesting for you. English is not my native language, please remember that. I never plan to offend you.

I enjoy people writing in Finnish to me. So if you are from Finland, feel free to write suomeksi. I would love to take my time translating it :)

My wishlist for postcards:

sea, river or beach - sunny or storming
anything water related (rain, waterfalls, sailing-ships, fishmen)
umbrellas
adult cats
road signs
ANY social advertising postcards. Please check my collection here
women dressed like a men (postcards or ad-cards)
men dressed like a women :)
GLBT related (postcards or ad-cards)
beautiful modern art. Something... well, understandable if possible. Not surrealism.
postcard from USA city called Saint-Petersburg. With the city name on postcard.

It's ok if you don't have anything in my wishlist. Any touristic postcard will be fine. From little towns especially.
I prefer my cards written and stamped. But if you send them in an envelope I'd prefer them not written.

sweets - dark plain chocolate (without nuts), hard (boiled) candies, sour candies, lollipops, marcipane.
I can kill someone for Godiva Dark Pearls.
tea - flavored black, herbal or fruit tea. Spicy tea! Tea by Tazo is my favorite. And only individually wrapped tea bags please.
socks - warm and fuzzy.
coffee/tea mugs! If you can send me Starbucks City Mug from yours or neighbors city you'll get a heart and something back (by mail) from me.
appointment books / day planners.
art books (books with art or photo primary)
fridge magnets
colorful envelopes (handmade or not)
unwritten colorful notecards
handmade dangle (and lightweight) earrings.
scarfs (warm ones)
small souvenir plate with city or county name on it. I have plates from the USA states WA and NY and from San-Francisco. So anything else would be great.
folded map of your city (not state!). Even if you live in small town.
beautiful 2-sided paper for origami (10x10'', 12x12'' or bigger)
Star Trek related items.
Jolly Rancher candy
Union Jack :) T-shirt (S- or M-sized), tote bag, mug, coin purse. Well, almost anything.
- surprise me :) I'm always open to anything new.

My favorite colors are gray, black, dark red and dark purple.

coffee/mint/licorice flavored sweets.
I have huuuge allergy on chamomile. Please don't send anything with chamomile if you don't want me to die.
gummy sweets except sour ones
chocolate by Hershey's
green tea, rooibos
Kool-Aid, hot chocolate and other dry drinks. I just think they are too unhealthy.
religious stuff. I'm an atheist and like it.
Twilight stuff.
almost all craft supplies. I'm not into crafts.

If you are my partner and intend to send me thing please remember I will prefer quality over amount. If you intend to send me $5 worth of things I'd prefer you to send one quality thing over five cheap things :) Also this way you will safe postage ;)

Private swaps are very welcome. Pm me.
