Playing Tourist Today
Today's my last full day in Moscow.
My presentation went well Tuesday afternoon, though I went a little too fast for the translator and had to go...really...slow...ly. Anyway, meetings are over, we're off to a museum today and then to a big outdoor market.
Sleeping has been a weird issue...last two days I've gotten back from meetings in the evening and just fallen in bed, not even eating dinner. Two nights ago it was the vodka (I got a little ripped, a Russian insisted on many toasts because we never went to war) but last night I don't know what it was. Tonight I am NOT laying down "just for a minute," I'm going to get something to eat first. It is still light out here at 10pm so I'm going to try to wander a bit. Will probably leave for the airport tomorrow at about 8:30 am to make our 12:30 flight...traffic has gotten a tad worse since people have cars now and the roads weren't designed for that.
Da svidanya.

I read somewhere - OK, I watched it on TV - that the currency in Russia is not money, but cigarettes and Levis jeans. I fid that so exciting for some reason. I mean, I don't smoke, but I do fill out a pair of 501s very nicely.
I hope you took photos, by the way.
