Sorry it has been so long since I posted anything. Lots of things have happened since my last post.... an incident in which my computer (among other things) was stolen, trips to the police, trip to the US, changes in living situations, changes at work.......
So, about 3 weeks ago, it was decided that I would return to the US as soon as possible.
Although I really was not finished in Moscow, I agree it is the correct decision, and am looking forward to having more sanity and comfort in my life.
But, there are still many pictures to post - and stories to tell!
One quick story from last week - so I decided to go back to the Tretyakov Art Gallery - I had been there before, but I knew it was important for me to go back. I needed to see some of the works of art again - because I knew they were an important part of my decision to come here (I'll post on that later)...
Everywhere in Moscow has a cloakroom - you would never take your coat into a restaurant or theater or museum... So, I go to the cloakroom. Well, apparently my US made jacket does not have a little horizontal tag at the neck area with which it is supposed to be hung... The babushka was quite irritated and told me I needed to pay 10 rubles for her to hang it on a hanger.
No, 10 rubles is not much - there are paper bills worth that amount - but of course I don't have any. So I end up counting out all of my change - down to the kopecks.....
Well hey, at least I agree that charging 10 rubles to hang something on a coat hanger is probably a profitable business decison....
