I don't even know what to say. There's so much! I guess I can just give a brief overview of the last week as best I can. So I flew in Tuesday night and was taken to my host home (I think I wrote about that in my last post). Wednesday, I met my teaching group. They are all pretty cool and I think we will get along great. After meeting them, we took the metro to the university we will be having our Russian language classes at (we get five weeks worth free and have to pay if we want more). The metro is insane!!! It's the world's top metro system and I can tell why - it goes 344 ft below the ground! After you buy your token, you go in and take the most incredibly long escalator I have ever seen down to the trains. I would take a picture but it's illegal to take pictures of the metro. Maybe I can somehow sneak one. Anyways, the most I have had to wait for a train is like two minutes; once it gets there, you get on FAST because the doors will close on you if you aren't quick!
Thursday, we went to one of our schools for a lunch of pasta with nothing on it, bread, and "premium" sausages which tasted like hot dogs to us. It was great! :) After that, we were pretty much free to do whatever we wanted but Sarah, Ray, and I went back down to the university to pick up everyone's passports because they needed them to register us for the class. It was kind of fun to take the metro with just us three.
