Notes on Russian Culture #1

In this section of my blog, I'd like to focus on cultural oddities and interesting educational points, rather than my roller coaster of a personal life.

1. The city of St. Petersburg (where I am living) has a city population of: Minnesota. Holy crap that's a big city (possibly the 2nd biggest city?)

2. Coffee comes in the smallest possible mug/teacup here. seriously.

3. Beer is sold in EVERY building. That's too much. What's the deal? Also, every store is a liquor store.

4. Hulu does not work here.

5. I saw a babushka stare down a car. In the road. And win.

more to come.
