Thursday 2010-06-10 schedule - public
Today for four hours I sat in on one of the Tatar language classes. Competent teacher.
At lunch one of the guys suggested we go to a Chinese restaurant he had spotted. As we approached, it became clear he was talking not about a Chinese restaurant, but about the Chinese Circus. He had read the first word, Chinese, and had bothered to think about the second word, Circus. This is particularly amusing since the Chinese Circus is one of the most well-known sights of the city, immediately identifiable to any child of seven in Kazan.
Later on in the day I headed back to the Chekhov Market near my apartment. Found a cheap set of alphabet blocks and a one-volume encyclopedia I hope to read over the next year.
