RamStore is set up like a mall, it has 3 stories and has shops for clothes, electronics, makeup, candy, etc., but the largest store which is definitely the anchor store, is a grocery store most comparable to an American Wal-Mart. One of the things I like about RamStore is that it has a number of products (like groceries) that are made/packaged/distributed by a company based in New Jersey, so they actually have English on the package... which means I can read what it is!
We waited for our bus at a stop right outside RamStore. I decided to post both the pictures I took as they show slightly different angles of the Soviet high-rise apartments and the street.
It was fun to take the pictures because I embarrassed Chris and got all sorts of funny looks (people don't usually break out the camera in public places... unless they are tourists of course).
What great posts! It's neat to see the signs on the building.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bathroom information. I wish I'd done something like that for the bathrooms in Japan! WOW... so interesting how something so "mundane" can be really fascinating, huh?
Sorry to hear about the water issues. I hope it doesn't happen to yall much! It's amazing to realize, in any way, the difficulties our pioneer forebears went through, huh!? I washed clothes by hand for a while here and came to realize why the women's suffrage movement took so long to come to pass... they didn't have TIME!
I love you guys!
man, these stories take me back! sounds like lots of adventures. i'm sorry about the lack of hot water...i remember those freezing showers of desperation.
