Rybinsk and a Couple Other Things....

So, I went to a nearby town this last weekend, Rybinsk, with Ploy. There are 4 other students there, but we only met with two of them, Palin and Oatt (from Thailand). It was great! We walked around, and though the wind was strong and it was pretty cold (I thought that it would be warmer than it was, and wore my Autumn jacket) we had a great time. Here are some pictures:







Blogger's being weird and making all the pictures into weird long... things. So I don't know how to comment in between them, sorry. Basically, these are some pictures from Rybinsk with Ploy and Oatt and Palin. The bridge over the river is on the Volga, and the statue is with fish is because Rybinsk is a big fishing town. The work "Rybinsk" in Russian actually comes from the word for fish!

So, other than that, it snowed today! Spring and Winter are definitely fighting right about now, and... I'm not sure who's winning! Haha. Tomorrow will be the Thai new year, and it'll be too cold here to celebrate in the traditional way (by having water fights!!) but oh, well. We'll figure something out.

Anyways, that's about all that's going on right now.

Happy New Year!

From Russia with love,
