"Polet byl figovyi. Ostanavlivaetsya v Siettle na 2 chasa.
No - kak privivka ot nostal'gii - vyleteli iz Moskvy na chas
pozzhe, a is Siettla s lishnim chasom ozhidaniya. Priletel v 5:00

Pokormili eche raz i otvezli v obshchazhku, podselili k indusu". 

>What can you say about your apartment..., and so on.

"Pervyi mesyats mne eto vse besplatno, potom nodo platit'. Vse 
eti 100 kv. metrov s pribambasami stoyat 1400$ v mesyats (700$ 
za polovinu, ya predpolagayu). Russkie - kto ran'she priehali - 
v obshchazhke ne zhivut : snimayut sami ili poselyayutsya k 
russkomu u kotorogo sem'ya seichas ne zdes' Rabotaet zdes' ot 10

" V obshchem ya ne ponyal, pochemu Russkie zdes' ne zhivut - 
ya byl u nih i tam tol'ko odin plus: kvartira na oboih etazhah.
Mozhet im tam pit' udobnee: tam 5 kvartir russkih. Vprochem, 
tam vse iz ITM i VT, ih kollegi srazu vezli ih k sebe - tuda."
