The day started with an early morning Russian lesson with Nikolah as we attempted small talk through Google Translate. He then proceeded to show us various videos of his girlfriend playing saxaphone (she is really quite an impressive musician!)...then somehow we feel into the You Tube vortex....regardless of culture, everyone cries for a squirrel waterskiing. Another day of wandering, pretzels in the park, a coffee at the Loft Space and loads of walking. Met Sharon, an aussie from UNSW studying abroad and had a chat with Daniel (the "scary guy") that is no longer scary, who told us about the people painted on the hostel wall. We are all watching Full Metal Jacket like a big happy family in the coomon room :)
