Hey there, Tomorrow my dear 1359 CAE Ss are sitting their written part of the exam. Let us keep our fingers crossed for them as I've been teaching them since 8th form and they spent with me almost 3 years. They passed FCE in 2011 and now - CAE. I wish them very best of luck on the Big Day!!!

Dear all, My dearest brother Dima who has been living in America for over 20 years is in Moscow now. He came for a week to see his wife Lena have some medical practice and see relatives and friends. It was really nice and warm being with them for almost 2 hours in the cafe just in the center of Moscow, near Belorusskaia metro. He looks good and I am really happy he has come to Russia and can see new Moscow and us - older but the same people with warm feelings to him and Lena. She is the best wife who he could ever have but he is not happy with her frequent visits to Moscow as it's part of her job. I think they will cope with this problem somehow and stay happy together. Another happy moment was yesterday, November 20 - the BI HSE turned 10 years old so we saw a concert and I saw some of my ex- student who became mature and successful. Good luck and hugs to all of you...

Hey there, Marina and I have just got back from Yaroslavl. We did Nun Anna's business there and everything went really well. We went by train which has become very comfortable and spacious. Hotel Ibis where we stayed was really good and modern. We also visited Kaleria Ivanovna who is very old and ill but she was happy to see me and especially Marina. So we did all things and got back to Moscow. It was very nice a trip, though a bit tiring... Hugs and kisses to all

Hey there, Today I can say that GTA Moscow accepted me after a long 2 day seminar from 8am till 9pm on Friday and Saturday November 2d and 3d.It was held in Balchug 7, next to the heart of Moscow. Good place and view over the Kremlin... Seminars were really hard in terms of time and speed of everything that was going on there but extremely interesting as I met not only official people from Google office California,SF but also from all over Russia and ex-Soviet countries -Estonia, Kazakhstan, Belorussia etc. Now I'm among almost 750+ GTs all over the world.It's really the Big Day in my life!!! Love and hugs to all of you...
