Siberia, Russia Part 1 - Here I Come!
When I announced my move from sunny San Diego to the chilly expanse of Siberia for a year, my boss quipped, "You must really hate this job." In truth, I was just searching for something fresh and exciting. Somehow, the allure of San Diego had faded, and even though the beach was a stone's throw away, I hadn't visited in ages. It was time to rekindle my zest for life.
Like you, perhaps, I scoured the internet for that unique adventure that would revitalize me and give my friends something to marvel at. Picking coffee beans in the South Pacific? No, I was already over-caffeinated. Sailing the globe on a cargo ship? I wasn't quite ready for that much introspection. Before long, I found myself committed to a stint in Chita, Siberia, as a professor at Chita State Technical University through a program organized by Siberian Intercultural Bridges. They could use some support, by the way: [Donate here](http://www.siberian-bridges.org).
Preparing for a year in Siberia was an adventure in itself. Guidebooks on this part of the world were nowhere to be found at my local bookstore. The bemused clerk's reaction?""You're going WHERE?"?"hinted that I might be the first to embark on such a journey from there.
Thankfully, seasoned travelers offered invaluable advice and essentials. My girlfriend equipped me with an electric blanket and a power converter, along with a stern warning against sharing it with anyone else. My grandfather handed down a World War II-era down coat, a bit oversized but incredibly warm. Friends, family, and even strangers contributed gear and wisdom crucial for my survival.
With my perceived odds of enduring Siberia set at 50-50, my loved ones threw a going-away party. Predictably, vodka was the gift of choice. The night spiraled into an eventful mix of laughter and, well, secrets mostly sealed. Memorable chaos included a friend’s wife going into labor, making it a particularly unforgettable night for one couple.
Armed with a gigantic backpack, electric blanket, and a hangover, I headed to the airport the next morning. But that's a tale for the next chapter of this nomadic escapade. Stay tuned for part 2 of my adventure.
