If you scroll down to my first post, you will see I mentioned Carrie and Jon's metal door. Such doors are common in apartments here. A friend aptly described it when he said, "We live in a vault."
It is common here for elementary aged children to ride buses unaccompanied by adults. Caleb and Jon's babysitter took a bus home one night after 10:30 pm. I think that would be unusual where I live.
At home I enjoy seeing friends and acquaintances when I am out and about. Since I know so few people here, imagine how much fun it has been to run across 3 of them while I have been out shopping in downtown Perm this week.
I have noticed many a young woman walking arm in arm with a girlfriend. It is sweet and innocent here.
At our request, Yulya and Galya stayed here after a DTS meeting one morning and made borscht. It was delicious and was similar to the recipe I use for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. It did have meat, but my recipe does not. They also made ponchiki, which are donuts, but they made them without sugar and rolled them in oil mixed with minced garlic. We scarfed them down in no time!
