Well not yet, I haven't done anything that bad yet. :p

Anyways, just saying hello to everyone while I am here in St. Petersburg, trying to waste 30 minutes before we go to the American Consulate party tonight.

Everything so far has been good, excpet the turn around in Moscow which is too long to explain, just think about Hell, then think of hell as something better then the Moscow airport was.

St. Petersburg is a great city, I am presently loving the white nights (3 weeks of no darkness) but the problem is they turn of the hot water for a month, so until the 15th I have the pleasure of taking cold showers.

I am also enjoying the 3 dollar vodka, 3 dollar wine, and 25 cent beer.

That is it for know will post my adeventures when i get back.

What do you mean they turn the hot water off? How can a country turn the hot water off for a month?

Oh well, Enjoy Russia. I hear it's awsome. Take pictures for all of us to see when you return.

haha 16k...no, it was probably like a guy on a donkey with a backpack to carry messages into Germany so someone could e-mail it from there.

BTW, I asked my best friend's dad and he said that it was common for a township to cut off the hot water supply to conserve fuel and energy...sucks.

yes, but is it a real sense of humor? or is he only working towards the long term goal of a sense of humor?

and if so, how will anyone know if he has indeed reached the goal of having a sense of humor?

and will he contradict us if we say he has one?

I have to stop now, my head is hurting....:p

Or which definition of sense of humor are we using, the first second and third, or the first and second, and who is to say what is right and what is the wrong definition.

Ok off to tour the Baltika factory and enjoy the free samples.
