Things I won’t miss about being in Russia:
- The inability to read the labels in the grocery store
- The inability to read street signs
- Not being able to see the sun
- The subfreezing temperatures
- Being trapped in a huge city with TOO MANY other people
- The fact that ice sculptures decorate the city for several months of the year
- The lack of good beef on the menu
- Living in a hotel
- The 2 pair of jeans and 6 shirts I’ve been wearing since the 22nd of December
- Having to discover how each and every faucet is plumbed. – OK, you always have a 50/50 chance but I relish in the certainty that cold is to the right and hot to the left.
- Starched bed sheets
- Seeing the sun on only 4 of the past 48 days
