So I figure I should probably tell you a little bit about where I am going in Russia. My city is called V
ladivostok which roughly translates to "rule of the east". It is Russia's largest port city on the Pacific and home to about 850,000 people. It borders China and North Korea and is home port for the Russian Naval Fleet. About 2/3 of the suburbs are so polluted it's considered a health risk and the average annual temperature is 4.3 degrees celsius. I CANNOT WAIT TO GO! It is going to be such a change from Watsontown where the population is a little over 2,000 and there is absolutely nothing to do. The language will be hard for awhile, but it will get easier over time. I am so so SO excited to go and experience everything my city and Russia have to offer.

well, actually Vladivostok translated as "Own the Far East" (verb) or "Owner of the Far East" :)
ReplyDeleteand "average annual temperature is 4.3 degrees Celsius" maybe in later autumn... the weather conditions highly depends on ocean, so winter not so cold.
