Dear friends

I HOPE YOU WILL NOT BE OFFENDED BECAUSE YOU WILL RECEIVE JOINT MESSAGES FROM ME. INTERNET CONNECTION HERE AT HOME IS LOUSY, SO I CAN NOT SEND MANY MAILS, BUT I WILL TRY TO GET TO ARNOUL’S OFFICE FROM TIME TO TIME TO WRITE MORE. I AM ALSO FIGHTING HARD WITH FRENCH KEY-BOARD HERE, IN THE OFFICE THERE IS A NORMAL ONE (ENGLISH).

SO, RUSSIA IS COLD, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW, PEOPLE ARE CRAZY, CITY IS AMAZING, AND I AM VERY HAPPY HERE. ARNOUL DOES NOT LIKE IT A BIT, AND I AM REALLY ENJOYING. I ALWAYS LIKED RUSSIA, AND I ALSO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, SO IT MAKES THINGS EASIER. ONLY 5 DAYS AFTER MY ARRIVAL, HIS PARENTS CAME, AND WE WERE VERY BUSY WITH THEM, WE DID A LOT OF SIGHT-SEEING. WE SAW A LOT OF THINGS, UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS FREEZING, SO I THINK I WILL CONTINUE SIGHT-SEEING IN MAY.

WE WENT TO SEE RUSSIAN BALLET IN FAMOUS MARIINSKI (KIROV) THEATRE, AND IT WAS AS ONLY A RUSSIAN BALLET CAN BE: FANTASTIC. WE ALSO SAW A GREAT RUSSIAN FILM TWO DAYS AGO, AND WE TRY TO EAT RUSSIAN FOOD OUT & AT HOME, WHICH IS NOT SO COMPLICATED IF YOU LIKE VODKA AND CAVIAR, WITH RYE BREAD AND SOUR CREAM. THERE ARE ALSO SOME FABULOUS CAKES AND CHOCOLATES.

SO FAR, I AM NOT WORKING AND I LIVE A HAPPY LIFE OF MY CAT.

YOU ARE STILL ALL VERY CORDIALLY INVITED TO VISIT US!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL AND I MISS YOU VERY MUCH
