Night at the Disco
To finish yesterday , after we left theinternet cafe we shopped aswe walked back. This keyboard is sticking so just make your way through this. We went tothe grocery store and it took solong tofigure out what I was going toeat for dinner. I finally ended up with a loaf of bread 6r, pringles 15r, pear 15r, I gotlucky and picked out turkey two slices 42r, cheese 22r, hot coke 32r, and some sort of cookies. It tookme about 10minutes on each decision. when I got back to the hotel I found outI had thrown away an important card and Dr. Brooks told me Imight be teaching in Russia next year because they wouldn't let me out of the country. It all worked out. Then I heard some were headed to the disco. It was so funny trying to dance and finally we said disco and I forgot the universal language of disco and they pointed to a building right by our hotel. It was called Club Chaplin. We got there at 9:30. They said it didn't start till around 11. I was the momofthe group. Cindy 44, Diane 42, Amy31, Chris 30, and Tim 24. They starteddancing right away. I can't keep telling you aboutthe young girls in thiscountry. About 5'10 and all legs. The guys are 5"10 and skinny andnon descript. Young girls kept coming in and were dressed socute and there Iwas in my kakhi capris and black tshirt. At 11:00 this techno music started and we starteddancing Soon about 10 girls had joined us. So our two guyswere having fun dancing with all these girls. Before long the dance floor was full and the place was packed with about500 people. We danced nonstop till12:15 when I said itwas time togo. I might have been 52 but I felt like I was 19 on the floorat Don T's dancing toDonna Summers. They are Russians and keep their space so there was no dirty dancing going on which I like. I think they all enjoyed watching the Americans dance. We were up thismorning and on the way to Polzunov Altai State Technical University at 9:30. We had a great lecture by an English teacher there about the surroounding area. Her name was Katya Nikouova. They are famous for honey and cedar oil in this area. They also are famous for some natural minerals that people rub on themselvesand then go swimming in the river. But they also have nuclear radiation from testing so I don't think I'll be rubbing anything on me. I got Drew some info on their architecture school. This is a technical university so they offer things different from the other school we went to. We had lunch and then a Russian Language lesson. I'm begining to learn to read itmuch better. Ilearned today to say skol ka eta? How much is this? That will come in handy for this shopper. We have off for site seeing on our own for the rest of the day. Tomorrowwe are going to some forrest to explore. Love toall. Sorry for the sticking keyboard.
