The class that seems to go by so quickly dragged on forever and ever today. Every minute of the six hours was painful, not only because I am a bit sore from lifting at the gym, but because we are working on Problem and Solution Generation Techniques |
|
On Monday, we had our group presentation, which is the culmination and collaboration of our 6-8 page research papers. My group members are Lena and Julia Z. Our topic was the innappropriate use of prime agricultural land in Russia |

The weather has been horrible here since everyone left on Sunday and Monday. Victory Day (May 9) was the nicest day we have had all week as we had our first thunderstorm yesterday, and today, yet again, it rained all day long. But alas, I headed to work at the school around 10:00 AM today |

Hello all! Once again, it has been quite a while since I have journaled, so sit down for a few minutes and induldge. Yes, I am still in Russia and I will tell you why… My internship teaching English and agriculture at the gymnasium ended last the Wednesday before last with "The Day of the Last Bell" |

I'm in Russia in our appartment. It's midnight here - 4pm at home! The flight was okay - I moved around a bunch. Kling stretched out and passed out in our two seats after the flught attendants stranded me on the other side of the plane. So I mingled with Josh and Jen R, and Diana. |

Moscow is way more colourful and wilder than I’d expected. Guess there making up for generations of greyness. |
|
So I rode the “Rossiya”, train No.1, from Vladivostok to Moscow. It covers a distance of about 9300 km. 8 time zones in 7 days |
|
It has been less than one year since I left Moscow after studying in the city for 6 months. And it is ironic now that upon my departure all of my new friends were saying goodbye as if it would be forever. I aaured then that it was not a permanent goodbye; that I would be back. Yeah, yeah they probably though, everyone says that...

But this time it is with my parents. In three days we've packed in quite a range of sites. We're taking the overnight train to Saint Petersburg tonight and they will be visiting me for about a week before returning to moscow to catch their return flight to america. Sometime later, I'll post some pictures.
Poka,
Carl |

Our Moscow experience has been a bit like Fawlty Towers! Our confidence was high having successfully navigated our way around a very sunny St. Petersburg, and our inital impressions on the overnight journey were good. It was an old train (everything looks very Russian!) that looked like something out of Harry Potter, but it was clean and warm and exciting. |
