Hey all, sorry it has been a few days for a blog, but being Russia makes it hard as they don't have many internet opportunties and the language barrier is a killer!
Well, Russia did end up getting better although I don't think I'll be making my way back here in the future.
Went and saw the Swan Lake Ballet the other night which was really good and also the Moscow Circus which was awesome too, although they didn't have the trapeze act which was a little dissappointing. St Petersburg was good, lots to see there as with Moscow, the Red Square was probably the highlight of sights in Russia. We thought it would be a good idea the other night to have a party on the bus (All the drivers idea) we had so much fun, so much to drink and so many photo's were taken, thankfully not too many of me lol. Kosta then had to get in there yesterday to clean it out, apparently it smelt really bad!
You would think I would have lots more to tell with being here in Russia, but unfortunatly there isn't much else to say, sorry bout that!
Anyway, I will try and put some photos on for you all and hopefully they will work.
Talk soon.

Take a look at Esperanto
You wrote that "the language barrier is a killer" and I know what you mean. I would like to argue the case for Esperanto, which can make travel easier. Esperanto is a planned language which belongs to no one country or group of states. Take a look at www.esperanto.net Esperanto works! I've used it in speech and writing in a dozen countries over recent years. I subscribe to a magazine called "La Ondo" published in Russia in Esperanto, and it has given me some insights into that huge country.
