Today we went to Trafalgar Square again, this time to go to a Russian Winter Festival. It was neat: there were Russian bands, folk dancing and food. I thought it was really interesting... I really don't know much about the Russian culture, so getting to go to this festival was a good way to learn about the culture. I especially liked hearing the music and seeing the dancing; it was so different than any kind of Western music. There were also a lot of actual Russian people there, so it was neat to actually hear the language. For lunch we had blini, which were sort of like Russian burritos with pork inside - delicious. And only £3! (haha).
That's about all we did today, actually. Tomorrow we start classes at 9 a.m. I'm looking forward to getting into a schedule; right now it still feels like vacation. I hope once classes start things will even out.
Guess we'll see!
