Crazy Weather

The weather here has been crazy. On Saturday, the temperature was over 100 degrees. On Sunday, I saw snow flurries. Just plain crazy.

Fun Movie

Sunday, I watched Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer. The movie was a lot of fun to watch. It was supposed in English, but every so often it would switch to Russian for a few sentences, then back to English again. Great fun.

Post Office Visit

I was at the post office last week. The clerk was unable to make change for me, so she gave me stamps for the part that she didn’t have.

 

Taxi

We took a taxi home last Sunday. The trip took over an hour. Our taxi was low on gas so we had to stop at the gas station. The gas station had several pumps, but only one was open. So there was a big line waiting to use the one pump. We were in line for a long time. After a while, our taxi driver got tired of being in the car with a bunch of foreigners so he would leave while we were sitting there and come back when it was time to move. Once we finally got gas, the car started lurching and could only go so fast. That taxi driver was certainly having a bad day.

 

 

HFC

A new fast food restaurant opened in my neighborhood. It is called HFC, Health Fresh Chicken. They serve pretty much the same stuff as KFC only cheaper. (And the ketchup isn’t as good as KFC)
