While abroad in Moscow, I have been able to take both these interests further. Last month I participated in a climbing festival which was a great experience. It was really interesting to see the way climbing transcends various cultural and language boundaries. Despite being in a completely different country, the atmosphere at the climbing festival was just like that at any similar event in the United states; high energy and a strong sense of camaraderie. Some things, such at the format were slightly different, but it was great to be exposed to these new ideas. I can&#8217;t wait to share what I&#8217;ve learned about the climbing community here in Moscow with others once I return to campus&#8221; Laura Hechtlinger \u201812<\/p>\n<p>Olivia Stevens&#8217; 12 took part in several flash-mobs in Moscow. In the beginning of April hundreds of young people gathered on the Old Arbat, in order to participate in a soap bubble parade. The yearly gathering celebrates spring with strange costumes, wild make up, bycycles, music and hugs for passers by. Olivia says &#8220;It&#8217;s a lovely way to celebrate the end of the cold gray dark Moscow winter and play like crazy children&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-267 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/2011\/04\/19\/dickinsonians-participate-in-community-events\/thumb_img_8860\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"68\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/thumb_IMG_8860.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"thumb IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/2011\/04\/19\/dickinsonians-participate-in-community-events\/thumb_img_8817\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"93\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/thumb_IMG_8817.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"thumb IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/2011\/04\/19\/dickinsonians-participate-in-community-events\/thumb_img_8841\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"93\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/thumb_IMG_8841.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"thumb IMG\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Hechtlinger &#8217;12, who is at Dickinson right now but she spent her Fall semester at RGGU, said &#8220;Dickinson has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1849,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85047],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-events","first-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1849"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
