Post Number One

Welcome back!  Hopefully you found my blog with little trouble, what with the new address and what not.  Anyways, I decided to start back up my blog because I will be returning to Russia in about a month, but this time it I'm going to teach English.  I will be living/working in the city of Volgograd (Wikipedia).  It is a city of just over one million residents located right on the Volga River.  Some of you who know a thing or two about World War II may know the city better as Stalingrad (changed in 1961). 


I am presently waiting for the Russian Government to process my job contract and then mail me the visa application (this process takes about four weeks).  Like I said above, I'll be leaving for Volgograd in late September/early October.  As I learn more about my future job I'll be sure to put up a couple of posts before I depart.


Talk to you soon!
