Greetings from Germany,
That's right. Germany. I have left Russia. And they even let me. Of course I don't know how to say "Good Riddance" in russian so I can't be sure they weren't muttering that as they passed me through customs.
I have many final thoughts, but they won't all be here.
First I need to clear something up. Sometimes I make things up in this blog for dramatic effect. I usually think it is very obvious, but I guess that is not always true. So, for the small number of you who thought I actually bought a car that looked as bad as that one, I would like you to know that I did not. And really, what were you thinking? I mean, be serious, there's no way i could afford a car that nice in russia.
My last days in Russia were nice. Everyone wanted to see me and say goodbye and they also wanted to know when I would be back. My class load slowly diminished until I was a tourist again.
Other than a small travel glitch that cost me bout $200 to get a ticket from Saint Petersburg to Moscow and then wait in Domodedovo airport in Moscow for 5 hours that turned into 13 hours with a flight delay (in other words, such a typical travel story that it is barely worth mentioning) it was nice and smooth travelling here to Germany. I am visiting my friends here for a while
Now, I will go to Italy and Switzerland to visit my friends, the Thies family, who are travelling the world with their children (yes, that means they are way braver than I am, travelwise) for a week and then I will return to the states.
From there I get to examine my life, determine that I need to do something and start all over again, probably. At any rate, this is not the end.
In fact, it is not even the end of russia. I have some notes of thoughts I had that I will share as soon as I can.
I will share those soon. Maybe.
Cheers
