Once Again, Hello Russia!

This week of October 9th you read 1,503 more pages for me, making the distance I travelled 51,892 kilometers with last week being 50,435 km.

So, where in the world am I now? If you guessed I'm back in Russian, you'd be right! There's a lot of Russian to cover in my journey, after all it is the only nation that's landmass is larger than Canada's.

My exact location is 53 N 46 E putting me in the of Penza oblast south-east of the it's capital city. (Do you remember what an oblast is?) And while our city is much younger then the city Penza which was founded in 1663 the oblast is younger then our province with a founding date of 1939.

Now, what time is it here? The Penza oblast is located in the Moscow Time Zone which means that if its 4:00 pm in Shellbrook it is midnight here! (The time zone I'm in is eight hours ahead of Saskatchewan.) Which means it's way past my bedtime!
