four steps forward ninety steps back
The immense frustration the day-to-day stuff in this country causes me could power a small city. But there are times that it is all worth it…
Take today for example. I met some lovely people, Ginger and her husband and we went for a great game of bowling (and I won!) and then a walk in the autumn sunshine to a park surrounding Catherine The Great’s Summer Palace. We had lunch in a restaurant in the park and laughed and chatted and had a few beers. Finished off with a lot of great photographs around sunset.
That sorta makes up for the few shitty students I have, most are great, and the allergies the pathetic service and general difficulty in find anything you need.
Russia, as I am discovering, is a land of compromise. You just have to cope. The subway rush hour is like dealing with Melbourne Cup day transit EVERYDAY. Rush hour is actually the wrong term, coz it lasts for more than an hour. Normally 5 hours.
It is a beautiful city if you can see it in the right light. Lucky I have The Skipper to vent to and the several people who read this page. It seems Flickr.com require a month payment to have photos posted. So I will consider membership and then post my 1000 odd pics online for you all…
...did meet some TV celeb the other day - she is actually quite nice and personable... Her English is good too...
