An eleven hour flight from LA to Paris, complete with a great in-flight movie selection (thank you Boeing 747). I only spent 1.5 hours in Paris, needless to say it was still very exciting to be there. I'll be stopping there for 3 days on the way home.
The next 4 hour flight I enjoyed with the comfort of my travel pillow, ear plugs, and eye mask. As if sixteen hours of traveling was not enough- we piled into a shuttle bus and spent 2 hours sitting in traffic. This was somewhat reminiscent of the 405 at 5:50 pm on a week day.
Regardless, we made it all in (sort of) one piece to the Russian State University for Humanities, where we will spend the next 6 weeks studying Russian language and going on various excursions around the city of Moscow.
It may not be the most modern dorm, as it lacks such luxuries such as toilet paper, but the company is good and the excitement for this new adventure is building.
It is raining now and time for sleep. Tomorrow is the first day of class and the beginning of my adventure in Moscow. Finally, I will have the opportunity to see what this city is all about.
Russian phrase of the day: Spakoine noche means "good night"
