Life in Russia is, in a word, incomprehensible. Russians love to quote one of their poets who wrote something to the effect of, "You cannot understand Russia; you can only love her." But there is something about the incomprehensibleness that I really appreciate. Afterall, most of the important things in this life cannot be grasped with our minds.
Anther thing about this country is that nothing is predictable, so you can never be sure of how your day will turn out, even if you have things planned. You just have to be thankful that God is in control and then hang on for the ride!
