    I believe the hot-air balloons are at some balloon festival thing up in Albuquerque. I'm not sure, though, because sometimes I see balloons floating around here at this time of year.

    WEll I voted for 'Middle East' because I live in the middle eastern part of Tennessee in the United States, and I read somewhere that Americans are so myopic that they cannot understand geography.

    Sounds good to me, so I'm running with it.

    Anyway, I live in Tennessee, and am orginally from Springfield, Missouri, also in the U.S.A

    How do you say, in russian "damn, I didn't ask for your whole life story?"

    I don't know why but I love learning the phrases....well I know why, if you learn sentence by sentence then you don't have to bother learning grammar rules....guess I'm a lazy sod too.

    Well, I kind of feel great that I found this forum today...maybe with some support my Russian will improve rapidly!

    It should have been whether "учусь" (studing) or "преподаю" (teaching).
