"I can't be bothered to learn to read the acrylic"
- Simone, fellow Vodkatrain traveller.
Unlike the lazy git Simone, I decided to invest a little time in learning to read Cyrillic, the alphabet in which Mongolian and Russian are written. It's definitely had it's advantages, there's actually a lot of use of English words, but written in the Cyrillic alphabet. eg интернет сафе is an internet cafe and фреш салад, if read aloud, is fresh salad. This is really a source of hours of entertainment for me.
That, combined with my smattering of Polish, has come in a lot of use.

Now you're speaking Russian just like Annie! And at a far more sophisticated level than me. . .
Thanks for the postcard :)
