Christmas spirit. Not feeling it...
Rostov-on-Don have to be one of the worst kept cities in Russia. Seriously, there is dirt, garbage and dog shit EVERYWHERE!
That being said I am still in a semi-euphoric state about being here. And rightfully so. All the things I've been missing in that village I used to live in are easily accessible here.
Including a quite decent art supply store which is literally in a 10 minutes waking distance from my apartment. If previously I would order things from Moscow or even from abroad, now I can just buy what I need on my way back from a bus stop. Fucking loving this!

Not to drag politics in to this, but could Rostov-on-dons unkempt status be related to the current events going on in the Ukraine? You are very close to the border, and Rostov was targeted by Ukraine mortars as recently as July. I imagine being so close to a hostile border would take a tole. Not to mention the strain on government resources that must be generated by the sudden influx of refugees. Maybe it will improve as things calm down in the Ukraine.
Rostov was targeted by Ukraine mortars? Refuges? What? Good thing never watch TV. Nah, nothing along those lines. This city is just weird like that.
Hmm, dirt, garbage, and dog shit everywhere. Are you sure you aren't in China?
What if I am? What if I am actually some Chinese dude? Now that would be a twist.
Take a video of that. Or pictures at least. Please?
Of what? Of my meal? Hm... Alright, I'll see what I can do.
How about a nice dinner Akabur? I'll pay!
Oh, I did have quite a few since I got here. And at least one of those meals was literally paid for by you. Oh, and thank you, it was delicious.
Man you deserve this, I can really feel the happiness in your words. Not many people get a chance like this and I'm glad its you. I don't really care about Christmas that much but you should really get something overpriced thing that you wanted for forever but never got the chance to buy. Go BUY IT, you deserve a pat on the back for a job well done! And when you are done with the HT you should go on a two week vacation!
I miss your great adventures were you were risking your life by going on the wooden plank, gething through the bridge, being surounded by many cats and all :)
Never underestimate the element of supplies.
Strange seeing you without narration, but is ok, no one would want you to get sick. From your video is a lot more city that the previous one. Glad you are happy with your location. Thanks for sharing
