Time and temperature

as Als blog show the temperatures are faily low at the moment with snow falling for the last month or so and reports say there is 2m of it.

there is also a time difference of 6 hours in front of our time, which will make communications back to the UK interesting.

really looking forward to the various challenges and just want to get stuck in now.

merry xmas all

We actually Volunteered!!

Two of us going to Russia to work for the next 6 months
We have the grand title of 'Consultant' and just completed battling through the visa process, letters of introduction etc.
Although we've got the support of a large multinational company behind us, its one of the first forays into Russia so theres a fair bit of self sufficiency involved.
We'll be going to a place called Yayva - nearest large town is Berezniki home to the largest sinkhole in the world. Yayva is approx 180km north of Perm.
