If you're traveling to Russia, you'd better start out with a healthy metabolism

Russia, Belorussian, Georgian, and Central Asian delicacies all at my fingertips! And only the very best! One of our fellow students, a former Peace Corps volunteer, ordered in Kyrgyz; another wonderful woman in the program ordered a Georgian feast for all of us, and her Georgian was better than the waiter's! If not for all the walking, these meals would have added quite a few pounds to my waistline – although they have certainly succeeded in lightening my wallet.
