OK, I'm feeling better now about my progress with the Russian language. Apparently this is going to be a roller coaster ride with some days much better than others.
I am now able to order my own food using the correct phrases. I ordered my food on Friday night and even received a nod of approval and a 'nice job' from Olga. For those of you that know Olga, you realize how big this is (Azmyra, you know where I'm coming from). I know I'm not fluent by any stretch of the imagination, but it's nice to be able to read the menu in Russian and understand most of it.
We are at Svetlana's again this weekend, as we wanted to say hello and we needed to do some laundry. There are a few downsides to living in a hotel, one of which is the limited wardrobe and the lack of a place to do laundry. In NYC we could get our laundry done for 70 cents per pound (this includes pick-up and delivery). I miss this. Apparently there is no such service in Moscow so we will either go back to doing our own laundry upon finding an apartment or we will need to find a cleaning person (I'm in strong favor of the latter).
Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well in the US!
