It is almost 6 months since I arrived in Moscow. I think its time to do some stock taking. I asked myself the following:
a) What about Moscow that I like so far?
I think ...for quite a while..cold weather, a chance to wear boots, a chance to try cross country skiing, a chance to meet people of very different background, learn how to cook.
Looks like quite a list. But when I asked myself the next question, the list is even longer. Check it out!
b) What about Moscow I dislike?
No need to think for long....pavement is like a bit spitoon, men who smells, 80% of smoking area in restaurants, dumbfolded because you cannot speak their language, given up wearing heals to avoid breaking my ankle, friendless, lack of things to do, lack of income, expensive standard of living, tap water that cannot be drank, racial discrimination, policemen that you rather avoid etc.
No that I have nothing else to list but I think the list will just go on and on and on and on. So let's move on to the next question.
c) What is the one good thing that happen to me in the last 6 months?
Losing weight but I don't know how long this trend is going to last because I have not experience the winter yet.
d) What is the one bad thing that happen to me in the last 6 months?
I have no answer to this. I cannot pin-point. Maybe there were just too many.
e) What is the most difficult question to answer?
When people ask, "How do you spend your time? Do you like it here?"....please..give me a break!

My friend, you know what's your problem? You are simply not cut out for the tai tai lifestyle. Your fingers itch to be professionally and intellectually engaged. The domestic goddess thingy don't go down well with you. Try to enjoy it. I think it's ok to rot for a couple of years considering you'll be working til you drop dead when you return to Singapore. I hope you find more fun and satisfaction in the months to come.
