Day 4: 7th September

First day of lessons.
Bit odd to understand, but alright, not that different from the lessons we have in Durham....
Have pizza in the street with Rachel Tom and Julie. Feel guilty that it is not really Russian food, but no biggie...Although its toppings are different from that of Britain - maybe processed meat? and stronger cheese

Try to find an internet cafe, as I have no internet, and also nothing to plug my computer cable into but TO NO AVAIL because every internet cafe says 'internet cafe/club/internet planet' on it, but has a million one armed bandit type things inside.
'Can I use the internet here?'
'No you can't, that is just the old sign'
'Well, where can I use the internet?! It says 'internet''
'*russian that I don't understand*'
'kthx bai'

So I leave, go to кофе хаус (coffee house - Russian version of starbucks that I had been in the day prior to this hopeless day) feeling hopeless about it all...I have not yet contacted my sister, my mother, I am in contact with about 2 people in Britain. This is shite.
I head back, and after sitting on the steps outside the flat for about an hour (as I have rung the bell and no one answered - odd bell, I dunno WHAT happened.) and show them pictures of my friends - they see that I am a pisshead, oops. - and my family. And it turns out, люда has the same computer charger as me - thank goodness. I eat, read, translate, head to bed...
