We are going to the Moscow circus today, so that should be interesting. Other than that, I have just been studying Russian all day. Yesterday myself and some of the other Tech people ate lunch at this cafe called "Mo-Mo." It is evidently a chain in Russia that is very popular. I ordered борщ for the first time, and it was very good. It was expensive. I did not order very much, and it was still $8 for lunch. Another guy ordered a full meal, and it cost him $20! Eating out is expensive in Moscow, so I guess that's why it's not done often.
