Hitting "restart"

If there is one thing I can be thankful for about Moscow, it is that it helped me step back from life a little bit and get a fresh perspective.

There’s nothing like sleeping in a bed (after a train compartment), having a home base (rather than wandering around), not needing to consult a map constantly, having friends to share impressions with… just to name a few blessings!

I had to go to class on Friday after my arrival, where it was business as usual. Sometimes it’s nice to have a regime. We’ll see if I am still thankful about it on Monday morning. ;)
