As I already mentioned we got a taxi to the dormitory, nice and easy. We got the keys and info about the payment which should be done "approximately regularly", ok :D Btw the staff here speaks Russian, only Russian. I do understand smth about it but not all so it was good to have a buddy (the tutor) to translate things for me. Anyway, I got my keys (one key card for the gate by the door and a key to the room). I was happily surprised when I realized I would share a bathroom with my roommate (yup, literally a roommate since we'll share our bedroom). And two others who have the same entrance as we do, but their own shared room. The room itself.. Well, it's ok.
So far so good!
The kitchen was pretty clean and I we get to wash our clothes for free :) This time I don't have to collect coins like in the US or in Germany, nice!
I arrived pretty early so there are not many ppl here yet :D I think others will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow but actually I think it was nice to get to wind down alone the first night and get to know the surroundings on a Sunday when the traffic isn't that bad. I live approximately 8 km from the city center, but I'll reach it easily with a metro. Today I was super tired so I just walked around in a huge park next to my dorm with my buddy and went to the grocery store, took a looong nap and walked a little more. Oh, and I met 3 other girls who live in this floor, all Russians with good English skills :) They were very nice and kind :) Btw 3/4 of the Russians I have talked to here have been to Helsinki.
So far so good!
