"You speak Russian?!"

That’s the reaction I get from people when they find out I speak Russian.  It’s almost as good as the reaction I get when they find out that I lived in Russia for 3 years. "Cool!" (read as, "Are you crazy?"

So, one begs the question, how in the world did it all happen?  Well, it’s all my father’s fault. I was 15.  He was driving me to school one day when he pops up and asks, "What would you think if I took you to Russia with me next summer?"  He had been at least once or twice on missions trips at this point (he is getting ready to go on his 22nd trip if I haven’t lost count.)  I thought, "Russia?  Are you kidding?"  While mostly scared to agree, I was intrigued by the thought.  So, I went.  That trip literally changed the entire course of my life forever. 

I love the saying of the day section, particularly this one:

Дай ему палец, он всю руку откусит.

Literally:  Give him a finger, and he will bite off your whole arm.

Equivalent:  Give him an inch, and he will take a mile.

mylittlerussia has the honour of being the first MSN hosted weblog I’ve visited too.  It’s look is a bit fussy, but it’s got a great colour scheme (gotta love that light blue).  And I really like the lists section.  Want to check out mylittlerussia’s guide to the best Russian movies?
