I really enjoyed these post. I just love dogs and they really are such great photos.
It sounds great to spend time in libraries, cafes and events. I know you'll enjoy it, they'll be -shall we say- gyms for your thoughts and you won't be deprived of taking a few pics. I love your intention to travel and get to know other regions and cultures.
How are you doing with Russian?
And congratulations on your third place in the Monomad! 😃👇
Thanks!
Putting more effort into it lately. I can read it decently, there are many words I don't understand and my pronunciation isn't perfect. It's definitely the speaking side I need more practice with. So I can read and understand certain sentences and words, but it can feel a bit limited; or sometimes I don't know how to structure a sentence despite knowing the words.
It really is just needing more exposure to it. Having the ability to use what I know and get corrected when I make mistakes. I find it a lot of fun though. And it's really fun being able to see the old Russian text around Tbilisi and read some of it.
I wanted to go swimming and to the gym when I arrived here, but every place is *insanely expensive. They operate in strange ways too: very high cost but you can only go a few times a week at specific slots. So I guess these mental gyms will have to suffice for now ;^)
