Funny story

Here's my message for the week:

On Tuesday I bought some Russian shoes (way cool!) and I've just been wearing them in before I wear them to walk to class or around the city at all. So, Saturday, on the way hoem from class I was getting off the metro at my stop, Mockovskaya, and had a very unfortunate event happen. At this point, I must explain that some metros are d\ouble doors so that there is no way to see into the tracks when the metro is not there...this stop is like that. Once the metro leaves, the doors close. well, there is still a crack, since it is a tunnel, about 5 inches wide maybe, and as I walked over it, my shoe just slipped off. I looked back and my roommate Aubree was still standing in the door. She looked at me and said, "uh, your shoe just totally fell down there." haha...what to do..

the doors closed and I was at a loss. I had one shoe. We finally decided to walk to the eskalator lady at the bottom of the long eskalator...I told her i some great russian that I had lost my shoe. She asked us some questions about where, which door, which side. and then she called soem body. on the phone I caught "yes, some girls are here. they are not russian. I think they are English." and a 2 man crew came to open the doors to help me find my shoe. after the 3rd try, we found it!

lol, I went home with 2 shoes. and I told my landlady what had happened and she said that has never happened to her. awesome.

A day in Russia.
