Yer blogs are pretty damn vivid and I kinda wish I was there too. Besides the frozen boogers. <BR/>Anyway, though it seems you have settled in a lot since you've got there, I can identify man. People treating you like the village idiot, loneliness, and scary public transportation seem to be cross cultural. Though I have to hand it to you, at least from what you write, you seem to take it all pretty damn well. And I think you trump my experience on the indoor plumbing front: toilets were definitely indoors. <BR/><BR/>All is good here, school is almost over and the troops are breaking up. Just saw Bret off yesterday, he's going to go find himself, or a bear or something. Seattle hasn't changed at all since you've left. Especially since you've been planting potatoes and chatting up up VAKs (I used your own terminology :) and we've just been going to Finn's. And subway, and stuff. <BR/><BR/>Sorry about Steph and my shitty return time on turkey sandwiches. <BR/><BR/>Cool chattin' with you today, and can't wait to see ya in july!Whithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154475269404109156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790747138456844458.post-43419416852202101002008-05-27T11:45:00.000-07:002008-05-27T11:45:00.000-07:00You should be very proud of yourself.

And by the way, after looking at the last picture, I want to know what you did with the real Jeff. xxoo. Can't wait to see you!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691790656678752849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790747138456844458.post-41047926105064043762008-05-27T00:32:00.000-07:002008-05-27T00:32:00.000-07:00According to my Russian friend, those uniforms use...According to my Russian friend, those uniforms used to be all the girls wore in the schooling days of Communist Russia. Now that dress is reserved only for graduation. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on finishing up the school year unscathed.Travhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427332164942511301noreply@blogger.com
