Temporary Home

The place I'm staying is amazing!! The apartment is so nice and cute. Although they do have 2 IKEA's so they should have cute places. K-town didn't really have many tall buildings and the flat I am in now is actually higher up than the tallest building in K-town. I haven't ridden an elevator in a long time and now I ride in one every time I come home.
They have this little park next to their building that has a pond!! Today I was bored so I just went down and walked around the pond a few times for fun. It was great to see all the regular Russians out there playing with their small children and enjoying a nice afternoon beer. I guess I got used to the absence of alcohol so now that it's absolutely everywhere it kind of wierds me out.
My friends make fun of me because I always wear shoes in the house. They would rather be barefoot than wear shoes and I'm so used to always having to wear flip flops for house shoes to keep my feet from getting filthy that I can't break the habit no matter how clean their apartment is.

You always wore shoes, even at our house!! I tell people of your oddness often. Still eating M&Ms based on the femonine and masculine colors?? :)

That's funny!! I rememeber the M&M story, too! Just like in India.. not that I thought you were lying or anything when I heard it the first time, but it's a strange story. :)
