June 16, 1997 - Monday

Well today we got freaking screwed big-time.  First we went to service on a non-normal day, then we got jaked [stood up] at our D with Лариса [Larissa], then we went to Stockman's [a European/Western type store that stocks a lot of stuff that you can't get in a Russian store] and there wasn't a paper - screwed again!  On the way back we were handed these little advertisments for a businessmen's lunch.  Well it sounded like you got a salad, a soup and then a main course - like a burrito or a steak.  Well not so.  You could choose between the soup or salad and then get a burrito.  So we picked the soup.  It was water with a little flavoring and an uncooked - I repeat an uncooked egg floating in the broth.  At least the burrito was good.  Never again will I go to the Чанго [Chango].  It also cost 48,000 [rubles - about 8 dollars - way too much for a burrito and crappy soup!]
