What It Looked Like.

Russia was an interesting place and I'm glad to have seen it. However, it's not a place that I would consider to be a holiday destination. I continually summarize my experience there to others by saying that it was very 'Russian'.

As promised, here are some photos:















Russian clubs/bars are full of interesting people:


Now that I'm back in Norway, I'm faced with the challenge of living with a water-boil advisory. Apparently, the pipes in Oslo are not fit for use, and it's causing problems, like giardiasis. This means that the one redeeming feature of my room, my sink, is not useable, likely for the rest of my time here in Norway.

I'm trying to figure out if the water is safe to use for cleaning dishes, but of course the advisory is in Norwegian, which I know very little of.

If anyone is interested in coming to Oslo to install a water filtration system into my room, my door is open.
