 Hello to All!  29th Apr '07 3:01 PM

Hello, my name is Brody Hall and I am a 22 year old student from Norther Canada. Yeah the place with Polar bears and Igloos.

I am also a fairly high level gymnastics coach and I do some volunteer teaching on the side with alocal highschool.

I sincerely hope that I can make some friends and get some great advice before I travel to Russia and maybe even talk to some schools to have my proverbial "foot in the door".

Well, hope to meet a lot of you.

-Brody

Aha! Didn't know you were a gymnastics coach. You are bound to have way too many girls chasing you (should keep you fit, running away from them all! )

Hello again and welcome to the site and all that - hello to the big cuddly white bears. For the record, it's snowing here in St. Petersburg. The 1st of May, and it's snowing. How's that for global warming?

snow to heat...then snow again just before the blazing sun stays up all day...Yeah!

Getting you foot in with schools is easy here...you just stroll in and ask for work. The more blunt you are with them, the better.
After that, keep track to Bobs he'll generally set you straight. (Just don't take his advice on women...unless he says to RUN...then it's probably good advice.)

are you saying I have poor judgement when it comes to women? Come on, beggars can't be choosers!

No, I don't really think you have poor judgment when it comes to women.
I do think you occasionally keep the wrong ones though.
