Not the only Brit in the Village

There's British people here in Tyumen! I mean, there always has been British people here I'm not really the only one, however I've not yet met one. But today there is a conference for 'education abroad' and a bunch of British people are in the Quality hotel next door to our office to take part in this conference. I had a conversation with a real life English person, it was very exciting. I could say things without fear of it being taken the wrong way, it was great! Have I explained about how everything you say to a Russian person gets taken personally? Especially when speaking to these temperamental sensitive women! But that's another story entirely. I'll save it for a snowy day. Won't that be a treat for you lucky lucky people...
