http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2008/01/lots-of-stuff-happened-that-i-dont-have.html
Friday, January 25, 2008. Lots of Stuff Happened That I Don't Have Time/Energy To Write About. So I sort of ended last time with us getting to Moscow on the train from Piter. I'm back in Moscow. But in between those stops in Moscow, lots of stuff happened. I'm not going to write about it though. So now I am in Moscow till my flight back to the U.S. on Monday afternoon. Nothing else important to say. Loon of the Compound. WHY WERE YOU NOT AT THE COSTUME BALL? Did your invitation get lost in the mail?

Как здорово! Россия!: December 2007
http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2007. Neither Stately Nor Majestic. Um My interest in blogging has decreased now that I have lost my home. I liked having a home and a life in Russia. Now I'm just a tourist. And while that might seem more interesting to most people. I don't like it. I liked having a place. So yes. We got to Yaroslavl. There was a crying baby in our plats-kart compartment of the train. We got to Piter. We went to Novgorod. Happy New Year to all! Saturday, December 22, 2007. An eternal traffic jam.

Как здорово! Россия!: September 2007
http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2007. These are some of the rules for a telepone conversation from the earlier mentioned textbook:. Tell who you are. Tell what you want. Give the person time to answer. Don't speak very loud. Don't talk very long. Listen to what the other person says. Say something in answer. Apparently all Russians know the english word "butterfly" which is entertaining because the russian word for butterfly is бабочка which is like 10 times more awesome than "butterfly.". This is a really unorg...

Saturday, January 12, 2008. Something should be written. This underground internet cafe is full of teenage Russian boys playing Warcraft III and just generally taking over the entire place. I'm in Novosibersk. The past, I don't know how long it's been. Well, we left Helsinki on Monday morning. And now it's Saturday evening. БЕЗ СЛОВ. As in, even if I had all the time in the world, I would never come up with the right words to explain the past week. Train: Piter to Moscow. So we ran around the train stati...

Как здорово! Россия!: Moscow
http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2007/12/moscow.html
Saturday, December 22, 2007. Big like huge. like really really really huge. An eternal traffic jam. Way more America/Europe/civilized-ness than the rest of Russia. There are probably other important things to say about Moscow. Mainly I can’t get over how big it is. It’s huge. Something like 14 million people. I don’t know. Highly alarming. A brief rundown of the past week:. Other things on Tuesday:. WHERE on earth did you guys stay? Too bad it wasn't the Comrade Hostel, 3 mins from Red Square, next to a ...

Как здорово! Россия!: August 2007
http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2007. I feel the first order of business here needs to be a warning that I have not slept in the past lot of hours. I tried to do the math, but I'm too tired to do it. Somewhere around 30 hours, I think. 1 I think that I have decided to like tea just in time for it to be a very good decision. 5 I don't know when I'll be posting again as I imagine I'll be fairly busy during my first few days just trying to figure out the city. blah blah blah. Monday, August 27, 2007. This is my address.

Как здорово! Россия!: November 2007
http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. Things I Should Be Doing Right Now:. Doing my phonetics homework. Proofreading my politics paper – because no matter how many times I read it and reread it, I will still get it back covered in red ink due to my complete inattention/inability to correctly use case declensions. Going to bed, as it is now 1:12 am. Things I Am Not Doing Right Now:. All of the above. I calmed down off the “throw everything away/give everything away/leave it all in Russia” bandwagon and n...But I pre...

Как здорово! Россия!: Helsinki, Finland
http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2008/01/helsinki-finland.html
Sunday, January 6, 2008. Well I'm not in Russia. I'm in Helsinki, Finland. Susanna and I took a brief break from Russia to meet Laurel who spent the semester studying in Paris. But we're going back to Russia tomorrow. If they let us past the customs control and border guards. Important Observations About Finland. 7 Susanna likes to remind us that Finns are very hearty. They're also friendly. And very Finnish. But mostly hearty. 8 They also do nordic walking which means they stride about the city with nor...

Как здорово! Россия!: Novgorod and Piter
http://abbyinrussia.blogspot.com/2008/01/novgorod-and-piter.html
Tuesday, January 1, 2008. Anyways. I liked it better. Because it wasn’t trying hard. And it wasn’t full of people. Actually Susanna and I were the only ones there. Then we tried to find a cafe. Except one cafe had only food and no tea. Another had only drinks and no food. A third had both on the menu but then the women told us they didn’t have tea. Hello. We are in Russia. How do you not have tea? I don’t know. Not Tom Cruise. What is my favorite band? Is Nirvana popular in America? What about The Doors?
