Hello to All,

I just got to Russia and the city I am in is St. Petersburg, one of the most well known cities in the world. There are 5-6 million people who live here. I am excited about playing this season with my new team, Spartak. The plane ride to Russia was very long and I did not eat well on the plane or in the airport. The first week in Russia was hectic regarding the food situation, because I can not always find the good food spots to eat quickly.

Right now I have lost 10 pounds but I should have no problem gaining it back when I get settled. All I need is about 2-3 good eating, and training days and I will be back to 215 lbs.  I haven't met the team yet but my agent tells me it is a very young team.  That tells me this will be very intersting and fun!The Team is currently in 8th place fighting for a play off spot . LETS GET TO WORK!!
