I was on Russian TV

In Novgorod, I was listening to/watching a bell festival; once a year they bring professional musicians in from all over Russia to play the big huge bells in Novgorod’s St. Sophia’s belfry. It was really a big deal, and there was a TV crew there and they interviewed me!

Questions I was asked:

- Are you enjoying this concert?
- What do you like about it?
- Where are you from (by this point they realized I clearly wasn’t Russian…)?
- Do you plan on coming back next year?
- What is your name?

That was pretty much it! I didn’t watch TV that night to see myself, because that would have been terrifying.
