Another post on the same day

We just returned from the city of Novasbisk. We went there this afternoon to go to a Museum of Local History. We had a Russian guide and Lena our professor that is traveling with us interpreted for us. We started with caveman days and went to the present time learning Russian History. Very interesting. We are now in Asia and it's interesting to see the Asian influnce instead of the European influnce we saw in Moscow. We had time for shopping and eating before the opera. I had some sort of curry chicken on a stick and cole slaw and a Pepsi Light( lukewarm of course) We saw some Siberian rappers in the park, lots of artists, flowers for sale( American guys need to learn from the Russians they buy their girls flowers a lot) we then went under the street to cross and found something like Chinatown. Everything for sale!!!! I tried to buy Cally a dress but couldn't get the price I wanted. We then made it to the opera. It was in a beautiful hall started by Lenlin and finished by Stalin. We saw about 15 different sings who each came out and sang one song and then a choir of 50 sang. We had a full orchestra. It was beautiful. An old man next to me offer for me to use his opera glasses. During intermission we talked. He was 76 and a former scientist. He said he had good image because he never smoked or drank. I told him about what I was there for. He asked me about Obama and what I thought of his policies. I thought it quite funny that there I was speaking for America!!! Who would have thought Sharon Short giving her polictical opition to a Russian. They dropped us off right by the internet cafe so I dropped in for a short time. We are going on a boat on the Ob Sea tomorrow. Yesterday we went to the Botanical Gardens. They were amazing. This is where major botany researh is taking place, we got to tour the greenhouses and taken around the grounds, We then did service learning by working pulling weeds for about and hour and 1/2. That afternoon we went to their math and science high school and learned about their program and shared teaching ideas. We then moved on to another school that laid out the red carpet for us. They are a K-11 grade school. People from the Open World Forum were there. They are Russian teachers who have traveled to the U.S. We exchanged ideas for about 2 hrs. Very interesting learning about the way they educate. They had a major lay out of food for us. I was interviewed by a reporter for an internet news site in Russia. It seems everywhere I go I am meeting new people and it is so much fun. I am one lucky girl to have gotten to go on this trip. Fulbright-Hays is an amazing scholorship program. I'm on the go learning all the time. I look forward to sharing my knowledge when I return. Love to all our professor that is traveling with us interpreted for us.

Everything for sale!!!! I tried to buy Cally a dress but couldn't get the price I wanted. We then made it to the opera. It was in a beautiful hall started by Lenlin and finished by Stalin. We saw about 15 different sings who each came out and sang one song and then a choir of 50 sang. We had a full orchestra. It was beautiful. An old man next to me offer for me to use his opera glasses. During intermission we talked. He was 76 and a former scientist. He said he had good image because he never smoked or drank. I told him about what I was there for. He asked me about Obama and what I thought of his policies. I thought it quite funny that there I was speaking for America!!! Who would have thought Sharon Short giving her polictical opition to a Russian. They dropped us off right by the internet cafe so I dropped in for a short time. We are going on a boat on the Ob Sea tomorrow. Yesterday we went to the Botanical Gardens. They were amazing. This is where major botany researh is taking place, we got to tour the greenhouses and taken around the grounds, We then did service learning by working pulling weeds for about and hour and 1/2. That afternoon we went to their math and science high school and learned about their program and shared teaching ideas. We then moved on to another school that laid out the red carpet for us. They are a K-11 grade school. People from the Open World Forum were there. They are Russian teachers who have traveled to the U.S. We exchanged ideas for about 2 hrs. Very interesting learning about the way they educate. They had a major lay out of food for us. I was interviewed by a reporter for an internet news site in Russia. It seems everywhere I go I am meeting new people and it is so much fun. I am one lucky girl to have gotten to go on this trip. Fulbright-Hays is an amazing scholorship program. I'm on the go learning all the time. I look forward to sharing my knowledge when I return. Love to all our professor that is traveling with us interpreted for us. We started with caveman days and went to the present time learning Russian History. Very interesting. We are now in Asia and it's interesting to see the Asian influnce instead of the European influnce we saw in Moscow. We had time for shopping and eating before the opera. I had some sort of curry chicken on a stick and cole slaw and a Pepsi Light( lukewarm of course) We saw some Siberian rappers in the park, lots of artists, flowers for sale( American guys need to learn from the Russians they buy their girls flowers a lot) we then went under the street to cross and found something like Chinatown.
