Spring Coming

This month spring has been coming to Moscow, it's very nice to have the warmth and light of the sun back in this cold city. As I was going about the city, I realized what a great life I had in Moscow. Yes, things have been extremely difficult but I also have so much freedom. I've learned to speak another language, use the public transportation system, shop for my needs etc. We've also had a bit of fun this month :)

Janos and I in the park, we decided it was time to play.

 I've found some book stores that have english books, my Russian friend took me and we had a fun time looking at all of the books. He speaks fairly good English and I was able to recommend some good books for him to read. You wouldn't believe the price of all of the classic books! $2-4 For almost any classic you could think of, The Secret Garden, Treasure Island, Alice in Wonderland, etc.  To my shame, classics haven't really been a strong part of my reading repertoire, so I bought a few since they were so much cheaper then you can get anywhere in the USA.

Since the weather has been so nice, my friends and I decided we would go for a walk. We walked 2 blocks and found the Moscow River and a bridge with a better view

We went with some japanese friends so as you can imagine, us speaking japanese and english we looked like such tourists, Janos wasn't helping that image.

 Thank you everyone for your donations, support and friendship. I know that none of this would be possible without you so THANK YOU!
