Yay interwebs

We did a very exciting thing today. Marcus, Scott and I managed to locate what might possibly be the sketchiest internet cafe in Moscow. It's proper name being Internet Klub. But its cheap, nice, and seems to be working far better than the internet at the nice non-sketchy place right down the road from us.

So far the highlight of the trip besides the delicious food was out excursion yesterday to see some student film projects at a film school whose name currently escapes me. I very much enjoyed the films as they relied very little on language and very much on rockn color and sweet camera angles. It was nice to see something that truly transcended languauge barriers. In fact oddly enough the one with speaking was the worst of the lot in my opinion.

The plays so far have been a mixed bag, each has its own merits. It is difficult to judge a play without understanding the language. So needless to say my judgment of plays is a bit off. I like the ones with lots of movement, color, and interesting sets more than the introspective ones.

Tonight we head out to Novgorod and I am super excited for the night train. I know next to nothing about Novgorod so it should be interesting. I have high hopes for the Little Prince as it is one of my favorite books.

Yay interwebs, Yay Russia.
