Just got back from a weekend skiing break in the Ural Mountains - a 300km drive from home, but well worth it. Julia and I continue to rocket forward, which is cool and she's moving in, or rather, she pretty much has done The other cool thing is that we now have a car!!! And yes, there is now an Englishman on the roads of Ufa, in a............ Lada!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!! Vroom vroom...... hehe

I did see that my phone had rung, but I didn't recognise the number

He is doing well and enjoying teaching all the Russian beauties!

He took a computer with him but it died soon after he arrived. He tried the schools internet but couldn't log onto the RMP.

He got a used computer from someone that is upgrading. He wil get internet installed where he lives next week and should be back on line soon after.

So all is well and he is enjoying his adventure!

I wish I wasn't so shy.There was a really hot {well there all really hot here} Girl that kept looking at me tonight when I was at a reasturant and I was to shy to go over and talk to her.I have to get over my shyness or I will miss out on a lot of good women.

I would like to thank everyone for their concern about my well being.
It is nice to know I have friends out there that are genuine.

I had got my laptop repaired but they didn't do a very good job and I could not get on the internet with it.
I bought my friend Elena's old computer,it does not have much ram so it is running windows 98.I plan on getting more ram and loading XP.

Secondly, you could have approached her as you left the cafe and suggest that you meet at museum or some cultural venue or suggest dinner the following evening at another cafe.
While others have suggested that Russian women will approach you, it is my opinion and experience that you need approach them. Many are afraid of being labelled as being "easy" if they approach man. Several women I met apologize for taking the inititive and assured me that were women of good character and were "serious".

I have also been warned by other English teachers that have had similar experiances of women getting there meals payed for and then just leaving with no intention of wanting to get to know you.

I will try to find out more from some of my Russian friends here.

I think that's a very common play by women. Several of the guys on the project here have had Thai women do the same thing to them.

Compared to them you are a rich man but if you put them in their economy and you in yours it;s different. But your in their neck of the woods now.
Be safe and play nice.
