East Meets West

The Russians are coming! 

Actually, they are here, in town, and having a ball.  As guests of Reid Kerr College, a contingent of students and their lecturers from St Petersburg have been sampling the delights of Paisley, Renfrewshire and Scotland.

Paisley Film Society were delighted to help welcome them with a special screening of Twilight at the Arts Centre.  Our visitors showed their appreciation of the vampie-ish charms of Robert Pattinson and moody beauty Kristen Stewart with a rousing cheer and round of applause as the lights went down.

Afterwards was a chance to mingle.  Such a lovely group of people, it was a real pleasure to meet them.  The chance to practice some newly learned Russian phrases was ditched (ochyeen preeyahtnah – I’m very pleased to meet you) as soon as it became clear their English was utterly superb – they are working towards becoming translaters, after all!

A wonderful evening.  Thanks to the Paisley Arts Centre and the Reid Kerr College for working together to  get it organised. And thanks especially to the students and lecturers of the University of St Petersburg
