- the mood is a little gloomdoom - the sun doesn't come out too much and people are cold and not friendly; they just seem to be sticking to their own business, no eye contact, smiles or hellos
- people drink beer in public at all times of day - there's a nice park close to our apartment and there are always people walking around (lots of baby carriages) and lots of people walking around drinking beer (baby carriage pushers included)
- people are active - walking, cross country skiing, hockey, soccer (even in the snow)
- women wear faaancy clothes... high heeled boots, fancy jackets and matching hats - no sorels and jeans and oversized down jackets - i stick out
- they love techno... it blares from a speaker in the park
Here are some pics from around the neighborhood
Our apartment building
The front door
The magical garbage chute - takes it all...
women at the market... selling pickles and other things in briney liquids
a very christmasy looking vegetable stand near the market... or at a concentration of these enclosed market stalls
ps I went running today in the snow, AND it was snowing... what is russia doing to me!!?
