From my travel notes to the United States back in 2013. With little photo editing in 2020. Last time I visited Brighton Beach back in the Summer of 2013 and I even stayed overnight here at some Russian owned apartments.

However, it is important to remember that the EU is made up of 27 independent member states (as of 20213) each have its own unique economic challenges and strengths. In this article, we will examine the individual GDPs of each member state in the EU. The GDP of a country is a measure of its economic output and is calculated by adding up…
