the previous were words of wisdom from a very wise individual.

I am now sitting in some kind of rediculously trendy restaurant surrounded by Parisian wannabes and checking my e-mail. My glass of chilled Stolichnaya next to me is the only thing to keep me from completely running out of this place. That and the fact that the hostess walks by my table every time a new customer comes in the door; then she walks back to her post. Too bad I could never hold a two minute conversation with the woman!

I am currently in a sulky mood for that exact reason. I completely forgot how big the learning curve is when learning an entirely new language. I hate to say that I've only been hanging out with Stanford students, but I really haven't had much choice so far. These beginning few weeks are gonna be tough.

I don't have much battery life left so I must say Paka. But I will return with many more tales from the great Russian city.
