In the past few months since my last entry, my friends rebuked me. Some for not writing. Others for what I had written. Ok, my friends and others! I am back!
Lots of water has gone under the bridge since my last entry.
1. The wonderful Ava Smith visited Yekat. Now I know that this is a small world. The first entry of my travelog contained the picture of The Church-on-the-Blood. So, the travelog has made a kind of circle, circle of life.
2. I reflected on what I'd experienced in the US, and I'm going to share it with you. For example, do you know that the flushing techniques in Russian and American restrooms are different?! (Don't miss that!)
3. I visited Budapest, Hungary, and felt like a linguistic moron. (You can miss that.)
4. I visited Montenegro and Bulgaria. They call us "Russian brothers"... Or they used to call us brothers when they were getting Russian gas. No more now, I guess.
5. I visited Albania, of all countries. This is quite a story. Just to make your mouth water and your whole body constipate with jealosy, I'll tell you this -- my college has now a translation contract with Albania. We translate Albanian fairy tales!
6. Russia has celebrated 2 Christmases already, 1 New Year which lasted for about 10 days, and now Russians are preparing to celebrate another new year -- the Julian New Year, or the Old New Year as it is described here. We know how to celebrate life, uh?
