26th September 2010
Sorry that I haven't blogged recently, there is not an awful lot to report except little trivial things and the start of a list of 'You know you're in Russia when...', as of recently – though one of the highlights may be going to a Russian club for 'back to school' night. I saw a Jim Beam guitar on the wall and instantly knew that I had to go there again, perhaps even take the guitar home with me- Jim Beam, and stringed instruments, it doesn't get much better than this.
NO PARKING YOUR ANCHOR HERE, MATEY! |
The main recent event though, was a little boat trip around St Petersburg – it's really truly beautiful and quite a different experience from wandering around with your camera, with the potential of bumping into people while your peripherals are only devoted to the shot you are trying to get. Also, the shots can be much better – as long as you aren't sitting in front of someone tall, or someone with a stupid hairstyle...hm, the latter... though this is the colour I want for my next hair dyeing session...the platinum blonde look. I've been fond of the idea for a while....
Basically living Russian (ie speaking it all day long) and staying on the metro for an age really takes it out of me it seems, so I had been doing the anti-social go-to-lessons-go-home-eat-work-sleep routine. I am exhausted by the end of each day and even these last few days, I have been a little rundown and flu-ey. All that I've been doing is wandering about and getting lost, As well as translating this bad boy...Гарри Поттер и дары смерти (Garry (lol) Potter and the Deathly Hallows)
