Phew! I have done 700 million things in the last few days. The Russians really really love charging you loads of money, and making it an enormous hassle for you in the process as well. Bastards bastards bastards :) but I love them.
I am getting a flat! Very exciting. It's wee and lovely and right on Sennaya Ploshad which is an absolutely amazing area, millions of wee weird places to go and millions of equally weird people wandering around. It's excellent. For the first month Becky and I will live there with its current tennant, a woman called Maria who is the niece of the woman who owns it. She is qualified to teach Russian and took the piss out of us magnificently yesterday for not knowing any vocab and pronouncing everything completely wrong. It is going to be a challenging but very worthwhile month I suspect.
I have made some barmaid friends close to where some pals live. They are wonderful and so nice and SO patient about my still highly shite Russian. They want to learn English though so having them talk almost as much bollocks as me is quite nice. They let us stay there until 3 in the morning. It's really fun.
I saw the bridges open last night. It looks utterly unbelievable. I also had a really gay moment along one of the canals, it was all lit up and so gorgeous and all the buildings on either side of it were so amazing and it just reminded me that I am living in this city and that it is SPECTACULAAAR.
I really can't remember anything else I've done. And I'm not going to ramble because it will be really boring. Thank you to anyone who reads this, and I hope you're all happy and healthy as bumblebees.
