Russia!

Hey all, So, yeah, I'm actually in Russia now. It feels like we've been here forever but really it's only Saturday evening, the first day of the official break. I don't have very much time b/c we have to pay tons to use the internet so I'm keeping it short. I though it'd be really drastically different here and it is, but not at all in the way I thought it would be. The city is the same as any city except that you can't drink that water and it looks like it's maybe ten years behind the rest of the world, but the culture is what is really different. Anyway, everyone is freaking out at me for taking so long, after they took forever, so I'll say goodbye. I hope everyone is having a great Xmas Season and I'll see you all later!
