I had a really interesting meeting on Tuesday with a woman who is a partner in a small firm that provides consulting services to businesses desiring to enter the Russian market. It was useful on two levels. First I believe that this type of business will be invaluable when and if I can put together a delegation of business folks from NOVA and DC. Secondly, her network is extensive and can aid me in marshaling some businesses here interested in the American market. Thirdly, she and her partners are interested in providing possible internships for students from the Institute here! I will meet with her and a group of local entrepreneurs again on Monday. This kind of contact really gets my wheels turning in considering possibilities for mutual benefit. It gets a little funny here now with regard to initiatives---I leave in a week----I do think that technology can allow me to continue such efforts.
On a lighter note...it is 80-90 degrees F now during the day. They've decided somewhere to turn off the hot water for a week. I think it is for reconditioning the system.Water from the pipe is a bit cold. Showering with hot water now seems a distant, impossible luxury.
