We made it through all the flights to get here, and just wanted to share a little with people.
The current assignment has landed us in Volgograd Russia.
After a week, we've adjusted pretty quickly to the 8 hour time difference. Now, one question we've gotten a few times i'd like to clear up. It's not cold here, at least not yet. It will get cold but right now it's really more on the hot side of things. Far warmer then I would have thought, but we are prepared for such weather.
Our hotel is nice, the "Otel' Yuzhnyy". The staff are all very nice and accommodating. More importantly the bed is comfy and the internet is decent.

The hotel has a couple of different restaurants in it
We are located in a pretty central part of the city, with a lot of stuff relatively close to us.
Really big mall close by, 3 levels with a grocery store inside
This is a big "Farmers market" type of area
Inside view. Lot of vendors had left, but earlier in the day it was busier
I honestly couldn't tell you if they rent these bikes or sell them
So our first week has gone smoothly. I'll continue to update everyone has things happen, and if I come across anything interesting i'll be sure to throw it up on here for everyone.
I leave you with a Russian Coke can, because why not.
I'd love to know what the picture of a shirt is there for
Glad to read about not sure if just me but no pics
