I am in Moscow! After 30 hours travelling I still haven't slept for more than three hours straight. It's almost 6pm I've got to stay awake for a while yet! I arrived early this morning (Moscow time) and was picked up, taken to breakfast, went to the school where I will be teaching (I'm there now) and am hanging out til I get my apartment key tonight.
Everyone has been really friendly- I'm vastly outnumbered by women at this job again. Ivan and me and ten lovely ladies. Stink aye. It's quite confusing not being able to read anything or understanding what people say in Russian. Especially when you know they're talking about you and then laugh- in a friendly way though!
I am definitely looking forward to sleeping tonight. I will post again hopefully with photos in a few days.
Hi Sam, Cadell is still talking about becoming a pilot so he can fly to Russia to see you and then England to see Harriet. But you might be speaking fluent Russian by the time he gets there.
