I'm sitting in our cozy little kitchen making dinner before going to my lessons (look at me and my newly acquired time-managing skills) and looking out the window wondering where I might be if I wasn't here which I am finding a bit of a struggle. That must mean that I am where I am supposed to be.
I feel like this is the case with Ree and Jackie too as we've had many conversations about it before. It's a game I'd like to call, where would I be happier right now if I could be anywhere else in the world...I like this game because I win every time. I can honestly say that I wouldn't like to be anywhere else in the world, right now, today, on this day which marks the third month of our living in Moscow.
If we hadn't renewed our visas to stay here for another year in the first week we'd arrived, we would have been shipped off home already.
I would probably be chilling on the couch in my parents house in Jeffrey's Bay driving my poor parents insane.
Maree reckons she would probably be delaying the job hunt for another week still feigning jet lag.
Due to Jackie being hard at work at this time, Ree and I think Jackie might be partying it up at Big Time, the local bar in Barkly East, showing the locals her newly learned Russian drinking skills.
Instead, we are lucky enough to be able to be sitting in our kitchen, drinking English Breakfast tea, while the leaves and blossoms sprout on the trees outside and discussing plans of further travel, improved prospects once money's been saved and joke about our "Russian" lifestyle which we've become accustomed to
