I like to read certain Christian authors, and those are hard to find even in American mainstream bookstores. I usually have to order them online while I'm home.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-32249835283698016682009-09-17T12:22:52.325+04:002009-09-17T12:22:52.325+04:00Bookstores are a great place to be.

I attended a University in Japan and had to lug my books and belongings back and forth several times. Good luck with that! Hopefully you don't have to travel long distances on subways with your luggage.<br /><br />Have you found a good English bookstore in St. Petersburg? I recall what a blessing it was when I found one after several months in Tokyo.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003575850060420681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-79844819959567344512009-09-17T06:41:44.167+04:002009-09-17T06:41:44.167+04:00Thanks, Mark!

Unfortunately, a bookstore is a dangerous place to be for someone who is about to get on an airplane with a baggage limitation of two 50-pound suitcases. :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-34030928881047247552009-09-17T05:30:19.766+04:002009-09-17T05:30:19.766+04:00A bookstore, an excellent place to be.. especially...A bookstore, an excellent place to be.. especially with a gift certificate :)<br /><br />I found your blog through the boundlessline feature. As a person of slavic background (Serbian--we share the slavic alphabet among other things with the Russians) I find it great to hear that Christians are working over there.
