Getting Ready

Okay, so basically, this is just my starter post. I wanted to get everything set up before I left. And since the next few weeks are going to be really busy for me, I thought I'd set it up now while I had the chance.
Here's a link to google maps that shows the city I'm going to be in. Its called Korenovsk and is in the Krasnodar region in southern Russia near the Black Sea. There are about 40,000 people in the city. That's about all I've really been able to find out about the city from the internet. Even though I've heard that the region of Krasnodar is one of the wealthier regions in Russia because of its many ice free ports on the Black Sea and its consequential easy access to trade with Europe. Since my host family didn't give an email address on their application, I had to write them an old fashioned letter and am waiting for a letter in return. I hope that they may tell me more about the city and the weather in the area so I can pack accordingly!
