Today we went to our first day of classes, I'm in the most advanced of the classes and my teacher speaks Russian with very little English. Suprisingly I can actually understand her though, it's really cool feeling like I understand finally
After our class, we had a tour through St. Petersburg, which I and a few others had already been through, but we went anyway... however my roommate, Austin, and I decided that we'd keep behind the group and try to blend in as much as possible and see if anyone noticed... well we blended in well, the rest of our group keep getting mean glares and people were talking bad about them... in front of Austin and I, one of the reasons we knew that we blended in well... another was that no one was looking at us badly, even when we were on our own... our clothing looked European enough and we kept straight faces on no matter what... it's how the Russians always carry themselves, so it's true, they really do always look pissed off haha
Anyway, we did the tour that was about 4 hours of walking around St. Petersburg... in the rain...
Then we split off, just Austin and I, to look for a Soviet store... well we didn't find it and got lost for a while, however I did find an electronics store not too far away from the Metro
Which I don't remember if I had said, the Metro is SO FREAKIN COOL... it's huge and it's pretty and it's also illegal to take pictures of so I will have none haha
But after getting lost we decided to come back early, and we went to the grociery store... where once again we got laughed at because the grociery store = American's hell...
Well here's some pictures of St. Petersburg in all it's beauty!
I'm peacing out to bed early tonight, but all is good in the hood yall! Ttyl.
