It's interesting that you picked today for this thread. I went and checked my flying log book, and 5 years ago today was my very first flying lesson. I had spent a year working really hard at my college program (they only took the top 37 of 154 students after first year to start flight training). My flight instructor at the time was a Russian guy who had only lived in Canada for a few years. He was 'sterotypical' Russian in that I could have sworn he was recruiting me for the Russian airforce.
I still lived in civilization.
After my lesson I went over to my girlfriend's house and we celebrated by going to Taco Bell.
