What Cells Do The Black Plague Affect

Der Countdown hat begonnen...

so folks you started on preparing ... our remaining days here in Moscow are countable almost at the hands ... ;-) Soon we are back!


The new year has started well for us - new furniture and a nice visit from Austria - what more could you want?


well well ... it may as well be a little warmer - and it is fun times in the Ö3 horn to it at home already minus 6 degrees and has pretty cold - hihi - gave us quite amused i must say ... if we here at times walking around minus 18 ° and the wind is blowing as if it were the last day ever ;-) This is good on this cold, the sky is clear as ever - really nice sunny days were now in the process - a clear blue sky - soooo nice ...


On Thursday we went to the 'Swiss Hotel. The floor is 33/34 ne 'Bar gennant Skybar - the prices are really violent, but there the prospect of all excuses - see for yourself:


By the cold we are not just motivated much running around outdoors werden jetzt Museumsbesuche immer häufiger - gestern gings bei mir in die alte Tretjakow Galerie - eine Galerie mit mehr als 100.000 Ausstellungsstücken russischer Künstler - alle aus der Zeit 11. bis 20 Jahrhundert. Die Bilder waren echt toll und die Zeit lief mir förmlich davon - um 19:30 wurde ich dann nach fast 4 Stunden in dem Museum rausgeschmissen - die Ikonensammlung in den unteren Stockwerken ging sich daher nicht mehr aus :-(

Für einen Studenten bietet die Stadt echt viel - in den meisten Museen zahlt man keinen oder echt nur geringen Eintritt und für das Ballett gibts' Studentenkarten um 20 Rubel!! - also geschenkt ;-)

Um das Angebot dann auch auszuschöpfen gings daher On Wednesday the same time to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. Tight socks and countless spins ... time passed sooooo incredibly fast ... - Here are some impressions:









Well what else? - Armin is on a trans-Siberian railway tracks on the way and let us know that he has well and Gabi and I have decided to start the last trip on Monday - Objective: Kiev! 3 days are already planned and train tickets in our pockets - juhuuu!

far as the situation in Russia ;-)

What Mucus Do You Have Just Before A Period

С новым годом! Willkommen im Jahr 2008!!

look back at our Christmas away from home:
By us had already left many of our colleagues, about 15 people were here to experience a Christmas with a difference. The whole day was occupied on the kitchen to conjure up a delicious dinner. The result could be proud indeed. For starters gabs three super-delicious salad with garlic bread, followed by a sharp pasta dish and a great roast pork with bacon cabbage. And to top it at the end: apples, bananas with black and white chocolate and a delicious creation made of layers of sponge cake, raspberry and vanilla cream. After the enjoyment of the class were our bellies all round and a bit tired. The vodka helped but to digest and it became a nice, pleasant evening, which lasted until morning. By our dejour najas understanding of the important day we showed we could enjoy our celebration to the fullest.

In the days that we, one by one to others who kicked out the room for the new furniture moved in * G *
By just Gabi's parents were there we went so indicated on Sight-Seeing Tour ... On 27
December I was able to take my family to receive them in four days as best we could, "the Russian way of living" get a little closer. Kremlin, Red Square, the Armoury, Old Arbat Street, University, Sparrow Hills, Mausoleum, Museum des großen vaterländischen Krieges, Christi-Erlöser Kathedrale und und und ... - ein hartes Programm, das aber mit Bravour und Begeisterung erfüllt wurde. Obwohl die Zeit sehr begrenzt war glauben wir, dass wir unsren Lieben viel zeigen und ihr Interesse für diese unbeschreiblich interessante Kultur wecken konnten. Wir hoffen die Tage in Moskau bleiben ihnen immer in guter Erinnerung! ;-)

Nach dem Abschied hieß es erstmal orientieren - Silvester feiern war angesagt. Indem wir keine Karten für einen Klub gekauft hatten (manche warn für ca. 60€ zu haben), waren wir zu Beginn etwas ratlos. Ein Anruf erhellte unsre Planlosigkeit und schon stand ein tolles Abendessen (Gemüselasagne) with two Austrians, a South Tyrolean and four Dutchmen in the program. Again it in the enjoyment of an exquisite meal, the atmosphere was cozy and the vodka cold. Against 23h stated dress warmly and off we went for about 9 people in the direction of Gorky Park just in time (according to Russian conditions - as most of fireworks went off at 00:15 ;-)) we had from the large bridge of a super overview welcomed the many colorful spark to the new year. Many Russians were summarily with the cars on the street, got out and so was very busy on the bridge. С новым годом it was said by all sides and the good mood was contagious. After the long walk in the cold, went back home where the guards also welcomed the new year. With a kiss on the hand and a cheery "c новым годом" we braved the cold with mulled wine and dancing mood. There were also busy with our dejour najas celebrations we had our floor all to ourselves * G * So we started the new year in a pleasant way!
We hope you are all at home also had a great start! For the new, we wish you all the best - may your dreams do the best to meet your health and may give you the option of life and all to experience its sides with a good breeze of humor and high spirits!

kisses,
betty & gabi
