Last weekend, I had been dying for three days to go out and do something. I'm not really out of the way and I'm really close to the places a girl without a car should be close to (like the grocery store), but my apartment was lonely and I was alone for most of the holiday. I had also realized that I didn't particularly like my job, so I was yearning for something fun to take my mind off of everything.
This weekend so far has been such a good time! I had Gregorian monks chanting Metallica, lots of people calling me and last night I went with Nathan and his friend Debbie to the Russian section of Philly. We couldn't go to the Uzbek restaurant because they were charging a $25 minimum per person (I almost missed those arbitrary rules!) so we went to an Ukrainian restaurant. I was able to speak some Russian, I got borscht, and we watched some dancers perform.
It was like stepping into a portal back to the former Soviet Union. They had the same table set up, the same strange wallpaper, carpets on the wall, even the chairs were identical. Everyone was speaking Russian, and looking at our jeans like we were sadly dressed down. The only difference was that no one was interested in us, which was awesome. I realized that while I had been missing all that a little bit, that I never wanted to go back for any length of time.
