Tomorrow night I am going to see Anton Chekhov's "Three Sisters" in Russian. I am not sure if it is immediately obvious, but you should know that this is way seriously exciting. Super famous and important writer. Super famous and important play. In its original language. Of course, I won't understand the words, but I'll brush up on the plot beforehand and it'll be fine.
I am spending Saturday and Sunday in Moscow. It's a four-hour train ride away, which isn't bad in a country as enormous as Russia. I am going with Sarah, another of the volunteers here at CCS. We have some good stuff planned. I'm sure I'll blog about it when I get back.
Also, here is an addendum to the last post: While I say that many Russians do like the mullet, I do not mean to imply that they are behind or backwards or something. In fact, they may be ahead. I'm pretty sure the mullet is coming back. You know that way that some American girls do their hair right now? Short layers or poufiness on top with long straight layers in the back? That is a mullet in disguise. Also, some hipsters wear mullets with the intention of being ironic but with the result of bringing in back in fashion. I've also heard that the mullet is not uncommon in France. The mullet will be stylish again. You heard it here first, folks.
