We made it through a week of classes! HOORAY! Am at school still - thought I'd write one more message before the weekend. Zoe and I changed classes yesterday, and it's so much better now - the work is at a much similar level to what we study at home, and we're feeling much better about everything. To celebrate, we went for dinner at 'Dom Actera' last night - it's a dining hall connected to a theatre, which is apparently very popular with actors and assorted bohemian types. Well, we were there at 4pm (I think we're both slightly jet-lagged still, or just tired from trying to understand Russian all the time, because we're keeping the hours of a pair of pensioners. Dinner at 4pm, bed at 8:30pm.....IT MUST STOP!) so maybe we missed the more fashionable crowd, but the food was AWESOME! And we finally had borsh! Mmm....it was so yummy. The waiter thought we were hilarious as well - I think he was totally impressed with our fabulous Russian....or maybe not! Afterwards, we went for beer and bliny at a cafe, but on the way we stopped to look at the Church on Spilled Blood - it was AMAZING! Really incredible, I couldn't believe that I was actually seeing it. It was just what I needed!

Tonight we're going out with a girl we met at school, to some Irish pub in the city, and we're going to try a local vegetarian haunt for dinner first. Exciting! I lost my beanie on a mashrutka today, so I'm feeling a little sad....I was really attached to that beanie! And I was wearing two at once, because it was cold, so now I have no beanie. I might have to buy one tonight, otherwise my ears will freeze and fall off....NOOO!!!

If anyone from TAV is reading this, good luck for the Christmas concerts this weekend! Anyone NOT from TAV should go along, it will be fantastic!

Have a great weekend guys, and we'll write again soon.

Love, Meg

oh, you guys are so freakin' cool, i'm glad to hear you are much happier. meg, if you have an address i can send you a beanie - might be a bit late for your ears though once it gets through all that red tape (wow, yet another russian cliche). it is very hot here and to celebrate i have caught the flu and tonsillitis, hooray! i'm not sure if illness is a better celebration than going to eat borsch at 4pm or not... you two have gone off the rails!

	16. Very quickly.... Feb 5 2008, 12:14 AMMoscow, Russia1 comment Hey everyone! Sorry, this is just a quick message to let everyone know we are fine - we have arrived in Moscow, and are having a blast! But our Russian phone doesn't work anymore (we think we bought a sim-card just for St Petes) and we don't have very regular internet access, so...

We were so excited about our travels, we brought a packed lunch of homemade soup and sandwiches, and all our thermals, and set off on the bus! Unfortunately, the one thing we didn't remember to pack was our guide book (which is...
