Heather – our charming and knowledgeable port lecturer is giving daily lectures about
the ports we are going to visit. Talking with me about Vladivostok she soon recognized that
I speak Russian and asked me to teach the audience basic Russian words. I agreed – why not?
Can you imagine me in the Princess Theatre in front of 700-800 fellow travelers explaining
how to say good morning, thank you, excuse me, where is the toilet? and so on…
They were repeating patiently many times after me: dobroye utro, spasiba, prastitie, gdie
nakhoditsa tualyet?… I had a fun! And I hope that they memorized something.
