Sid, Matt, and I are

Sid, Matt, and I are currently in Budapest, Hungary. We have been here since Monday morning, local time. Today, we are flying to St. Petersburg, Russia. Our flight is at 12:30PM. We are flying on a Russian airline (Pulkovo) on a Russian airplane (Tuplov)! This should be exciting! This is where the real trip will begin for me – I have been to Budapest 3 times before, so this segment was more to visit my parents for me, and a sightseeing trip for my friends. Unfortunately, I don’t have the USB cable for my camera, so I won’t be able to upload photos along the way - you will just have to be patient until I start work in Beijing.
