ok ok you twisted my arm. 

it turns out that siberia has a public relations problem. many people
think siberia is cool, but few are hot to go there.  that is to say that
few people have a warm and fuzzy feeling about siberia -- only a fuzzy
feeling.

to correct the cold shoulder that siberia has been given by tourists and 
investors, the us state department, the russians, unc and other 
organizations nameable and unnameable have decided to establish an 
american-style public relations program at irkutsk state university (to be 
coordinated with MGIMO in moscow). 

i am to be part of the team that hope to ice the problem. it isn't a
mamoth problem, but it's a far reach in a way.

by the way, it is predicted to be 85F in irkutsk on monday.
