Lenin statue

There is the statue of Lenin close to where we live. During day, it looks like this.


But at night, there seems to be a lot going on, so last night we took a taxi over there. In one corner is about 30 women doing aerobics. There are a ton of young guys break dancing, doing bike tricks, and skateboarding. Lots of wool caps and baggy pants, just like home.



And then there are the kids in cars. Some entrepeneur has brought in all of these little battery-operated cars and the kids go nuts over them. Some of them are remote controlled by the parent.

We then walked across the street for dinner at a place where you can get just about anything that has walked (turtle, or swam for dinner. While we were eating, somebody brought in a bag with a live porcupine and took it into the kitchen. These guys were in cages at the front, waiting to be dinner. Bill and I stuck with the seafood.
