The right and proper use of learning Russian

[byslantedlight]

Am very excited. Just re-watched Stopover, and ... I understood what Radook said to Kodai at the end! The actual words! Turns out this learning Russian lark might be useful...

Also, got my picfor1000 challenge today. It's gonna be... challenging. But fun! I know I have about a thousand WIPs sitting around, but I'm feeling all inspired and spring-like about this one : )

Have also discovered the joys of Elizabeth Holden, Keynote Press Pros zines, and Rediscovered In A Graveyard by HG. And I am gonna post about them properly soon. As soon as my eyes stop melting.

Oh, I'm nowhere near good enough to transcibe anything for Hatstand... I only understood the simple sentence Radook said to Kodai! But possibly this time next year...

What were you doing in Russia? Were you there for very long? It's on my places-to-go-next list...

Oh, gosh ... kind of a long story, but I'll try to shorten it. Moved in with B at the end of '95. B's hobbies include history of space flight & he's on a mailing list called "Friends & Partners in Space". Mostly Russians & USians but a scattering of others. Early in '96 he tells me he's going to Moscow for 2 weeks, on a "space tour" of Russian sites to do with the space race. "Not without me, you're not" I tell him. So we both go. Spend a total of 6 weeks on a round-the-world trip which includes Moscow, St Petersburg, the trans-Siberian... We hadn't killed each other by the end of it & we're still together - must mean something *g*

Fab story - wow a space tour of Russia *is jealous* And yeah, I reckon it's huge that you survived that - well done!
