*before you start reading this, keep in mind that 'metro' means subway in russian...
So a few days ago I was visiting my grandparents in Brooklyn. And let me tell you right now, this is Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Also known as 'Little Russia by the Sea.' 75% of the population is Russian immigrants above the age of 60 and the other 25% are their grandchildren. On Sunday my grandpa and I planned to go to Subway for a sandwich. My grandpa had no clue where Subway is or what it is, so in the morning he says "Alisa, when do you plan on going to the metro station?" That's translated from Russian. For any Russians who read this is went something like this: "Alisa, kogda ti hochesh poyti na metrostansiyu za butirbrodami?" This is probably funnier for Russians, but just imagine being in this situation at that very moment and I think you might find it funny. :)
