It's my second month of vocation in Russia. Since I have a crappy dial-up here I try to limit my computer time (especially browsing- 10 minutes download time for each page is more then I can handle ;)), but I substitute that with fresh air. Since I'm behind the computer all the time when I'm in US, it's sort of my sentence and vocation in the same time... you know- great food, lots of fun, and [almost] no computer. Actually slow internet and ENOURMOUS amount of mosquitoes are the only bad things about this vocation.
I also get to read. Literature of different countries and different times- lots of fun that I cannot have when I work or study.
The weather is pretty good too.
Food is much better here... May be because my mother does all the food for me now, may be 'cause when I don't want to go home I just eat in a restaurant (compared to fast-food in US (restaurants cost about the same compared to Russian fast-food, but compared to US, they are much cheaper). At any rate, there LOTS of GREAT bars, clubs, restaurants here (I'm in Saint-Petersburg by the way), not including historical parks and museums.
This week (20th) I'm going to Spain with my family. We might rent a vehicle or two and travel by ourselves.
All in all- I'm having as much fun this summer as my body can handle ;)
