Then I had a dream I was back on my mission in Russia being moved to a new apartment in the middle of no where. <br /><br />I've had this experience before seeing things I saw in Russia in America. These observations are always coupled with a mixture of fear and appreciation. It assuages the guilt that I felt when I first thought my home was so much better. But at the same time, it's slightly disturbing to see those traces encroaching on my home.<br /><br />I'm going back to St. Petersburg in a couple of weeks for a language competition. I've been reading Modern Russian before I go to sleep at night.marleerockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225818475891766351noreply@blogger.com
