I got myself new friends! Eve and Vlad were very outgoing and fun. We had a great time exploring all the nooks and crannies of the city. Three of us have at least a few things in common. One is being that we can speak a mix of Russian-English in a single conversation. That is a skill I picked up when I lived in North East Philly. That’s exactly what happens when Russian-Americans would get together. Two is that we have some roots in Moldova and it’s pretty special. And three is that we all ended up here, all relatively close to each other. I’m really looking forward to meet the rest of their friends at the wedding in a month.
