Leaving on a Jet Plane with Aerosmith--Powee.

So here I am getting ready to go to Russia and I am realizing there are some very scary things I will encounter.

#1 - Corrupt police
-Don't look them in the eye
-Cross street if see the police
-They will beat and rob you ? ? ? OH NO!!!

#2 - Do not drink the tap water
-I love water. Water. Water. Water. I would love to drink water all day long. It cleans out the system and makes me feel so refreshed.
-How can I go ONE YEAR without water? IMPOSSIBLE.

#3 - No toilet paper in public places.
-Does this also mean I cannot buy toilet paper in stores?

#4 - Drug resistant TB.
-Hello Death.

#5 - Winter Walking.
-Women wear high heeled boots in the winter. I will definitely trip and break my leg/foot/ankle walking on the ice. Plus I have weak ankles.

#6 - Smoking is everywhere.
-My doctor gave me an inhaler after developing mild asthma after being around too much smoke. Now I will be the dork in the corner with the inhaler at a club.

#7 - No friends.
-See the above.

All in all, we will see how it goes. I'm going to be a Beast of Strength if I can survive all of the above!

there was no toilet paper in public restrooms in korea either. people just carry around what looked like pocket tissue. true story. at least you don't have to squat when you use the toilet in russia. i had to sneak into the handicap toilets (they were the ones we have in the u.s.). i've never been good at squat-peeing. i always ended up peeing on my pant leg.
