Dama moved to Moscow, Russia when he was six years old and attended primary school from first to sixth grade at a French speaking International School. His favorite place that he visited in Russia was St. Petersburg as there was one of the biggest art museums in all of the world there. It also had a palace called Peter Hoff in St. Petersburg which is breathtakingly beautiful, it has a massive fountain in front of the palace and a statue of Sampson wrestling a lion.
His favorite thing about Russia was playing in the snow which he had never experienced at such a level before. Although he lived all over Europe he had never experienced weather to the extreme that it had in Europe.
Dama also quite enjoyed being able to visit the Red Square in Russia which contains Lenin's Mausoleum. He said it was fascinating to see Lenin's embalmed body, Dama said one of the most interesting thing that he learned was that Stalin had actually been embalmed and kept in the mausoleum next to Lenin for a while but was taken out during the de-Stalinization of the USSR.
