I havent posted a blog lately because I have been very busy with Russian study and I was at the secondary house of my host family this weekend. The secondary house thing is pretty common in Russia, one little flat in the city and one big house in the country, which in Russia is the tundra. The house was nice, it was big and and full of food, couchbeds and cute animals that like to sleep next to you. There is a bania about ten meters from the secondary home and I had the prevellage of visiting it during my weekend stay. It was about eighty degrees celsius and extremely humid. I stayed in for about one hour, which was very difficult. When I stumbled out my head was spinning and everything looked hazy whitish-gray--and I am not just saying that because I am in Russia, everything was way more hazy whitish-gray than usual. Overall the bania was great and I'd like to try it again.
