I'm in Russia. But really in Mongolia. When I get home I have to do some serious study. I am such a doof. I thought I was going to China. Well, Sort of. That's what I get for seeing that we land in Bejing to start the trip. Oh... what an education is offered. Just get in line and learn!
Due to the magic of Citrix Server running in Utah, and the internet and fifty dollars american... I am able to say hi to all the RHP community.
Hi.
By the way Russ... just checking my email I notice that my subscription has expired and that the old card is no good. Sorry. Will pay when I get home. My old card was compromised by PayPal so I closed it out. Rather not use the new one on this line.
Originally posted by StarValleyWyHey St. Valley, good to hear from you. Have fun, and try to remember not to call the Russians 'communists'. I think they might be a bit sensistive about that.

The lucky part is questionable. I am just about dead to the world. Our bus is dead and we are going nowhere for a while.
Long story. Anyway, I am here and will be there.
That is kind of my feelings about travel. I try hard, but am so homesick after a week or two that I just want to get it over with.
Originally posted by bbarrAs long as we have family, the rest seems to fall into place. As for money! I wouldn't know. This trip is costing about 21 thousand dollars. Our total retirement savings is about a hundred thousand. Go figure. I sure hope that they know what they are saying by 'you can't take it with you'!
School's tough, but my wife is wonderful. Money is tight, but I have good friends. I can't complain, it could be much worse.
Originally posted by rapalla7Like it would do any good. Mongolia is kind of neat. You can pick up any of a hundred books and magazines on any bus station and the languages are all different! I would guess that only a a percent or two are Russian. As to what the others are... I'll ask tomorrow.
When you are in Russia it would be an excellent opportunity to pick up some pretty nice chess clocks for cheap!
Even If I got a good chess book... what good would it do? I play by instinct. Thus I die by instinct.
Just got hit with another 50 dollar bill. Strange phones. Strange connections. Strange world.
The thing that is really funny is that my service from here is at least as fast, and maybe faster than setting in SLC, USA. Go figure.
Description:
Knock knock!
You! Hey@
me... "Yea"
"You want more time on computer? yes? fife dolla"
"You said 50 per day"
"want or not?"
"Ok. Here"
"Ok. You ok for yankee"
"you too"
"bye yank"
"bye."
It's time to go eat. I really hate to.
I have made a fortune on my MRE's. I bought three dozen for this trip and sold ten at fifteen bucks a pop. ( I am going to give it back to each on the trip home, but I want them to learn the value of food) You military guys should get a chuckle out of that. "See the world! learn to Gag!"
So until next we meet!
Keep up the contrary attitudes and eat animals!
