Good morning from Russia!
I left my house at 9am Saturday and touched down in St. Petersburg, Russia at 5:30 pm Sunday. I am really tired and have not seen much (any!) of the city yet, but I m still surrounded by new things.
After a few hours in my hotel, I have seen some very different things:
My electric adapter works for my laptop:
Success.
The electricity in my room works very differently than anything I have ever seen before. I think all American parents want this system for their house. There is a slot for the room key near the door. If the room key is not in the slot, the electricity is not working -- no lights at all and no air conditioning either. When I leave my room and take my room key with me, I automatically turn off all of the lights.
It is strange to be in a country where I can neither speak nor read the language. Everything is very different. My phone does not work so I am feeling a little isolated. But, there is FaceBook:
Everything will be just fine now!
Debbie, the light switch thing is fascinating! Don't wotty, I learned russian for 8 years through middle and high school and was one of the best in class... Stiill couldn't speak it if I had to. I can catch words and I could read the "dobroye" part in your post, but that's about it. Sad how.one forgets a complete language when not using it for over 20 years... Have a blast, Moscow is a beautiful city if you had the chance to visit.
