Yesterday, there was apparently a thick, black smoke in some parts of Moscow. I say "apparently" because I luckily didn't encounter it, despite being in the center of Moscow for work and outside quite a bit. It was also absent from where I live in the north-west of the city, so hopefully it's cleared up soon! Not before the State Department sent out an emergency email warning to all US citizens registered with the embassy saying we should stay indoors.
In other, lesser news, we celebrated Halloween last week with painted faces and good times; the holiday is becoming more popular in Moscow, at least among my age group. My 12 year old student assured me that the day isn't observed in any of the state schools, so I decided it would be appropriate to spend a portion of our lesson watching Hocus Pocus.
That's all I have for now, just a brief update. Also, in case you missed it, Putin being super suave in China.
