What main languages are spoken here?:

Russian is the main language here. Russia may have lots of languages used within its borders, but nearly everyone understands Russian.

What type of money is used here?:

Rubles are used.  I'll include some pictures of the money in this logbook for you, since I didn't last time!

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A bottle of water costs 24 rubles, which is 38 cents. That is "premium" water, though, or gas water, which is water that is carbonated like sodas. I may not have liked it at all back in America. but I love it here. The normal water is pretty bad tasting. It kind of reminds me of chalk, but when it's carbonated it hides that taste. I actually want to do a review of all the waters they have here (there's a lot) because it's my favorite drink, and I'm not used to there being so many options. Expect a video about Russia's water soon!

What was the best meal this week?:

I went to an Italian Restaurant with the Italians, and I got an Italian style pizza. It was quite different than what I am used to in America, but I liked it. It wasn't even a circle! Plus, after we had our pizza, we ordered a Nutella pizza that came with strawberries and cream.
