Americans in Russia

Being here is so much fun. So we found out that we are the largest population of Americans in Russia (all 15 of us). Well, I guess that it is interesting news, because a Russian reporter came to class today and asked tons of questions about why we came, what we liked here, etc. Then this photographer followed us around after class and took tons of pictures of us. It was pretty funny; we all thought that we looked like we were important or rich or something. It was fun times.

Last night, Tim, Andy and I went to an Irish Pub. It was so much fun. Andy was upset when he realized that Budweiser isn't an American beer. He looked like a little kid that you just told there was not Santa Clause. After we settled that discussion, He ended up taking two shots which were lite on fire! How awesome is that? Also, not that this is exciting for me or anything, but they sell Cuban cigars for $4. The guys were pretty stoked about that. Our bartender was named Lucky. He spoke pretty good English, actually everyone in there did. We had some pretty funny conversations.

Also, just a note. It seems where ever I go, there is American music. The fitness club, the bar, stores. Pretty much everywhere! Also, weather here is great right now. Eventually it is going to rain daily, but now its between 50-70 degrees everyday!
