TQ 094 Kristina from the Chuvash Republic, Russia

Kristina spent two nights at my apartment on her way from Macau to Kunming, China. She has been hitchhiking for a couple of months, from the Tallinn, Estonia, through Russia and Mongolia, and now in China. She is from Russia, but is an ethnic Chuvash, from the Chuvash Republic in Russia. Listen as she talks about the Chuvash people, Lake Baikal in Siberia, and the Great Wall. Also listen for my terrible Russian at the beginning.

Warning: Kristina speaks quite quickly and with a Russian accent. Some listeners may have trouble understanding her.

Here are some words that we use that you may not know: ancestors, grumpy, adorable, broccoli, pepper (two meanings: the spice and the vegetable), hard-core, vegan, yoga, stretching, risky, tower, host, hike, and flexible.
