I (Yuliya) am hanging with my sister in Kharkov, Ukraine now and Amy has gone back to home and work (ha!). This is giving me an opportunity to read trashy magazines in Russian -- shout out to Elle Ukraine -- watch TV and generally absorb crucial information.
Things learned:
1. Vodka IS supposed to be served cold
2. The overwhelming Eastern European belief that sitting on cold things is somehow bad for women's reproductive systems was echoed even in Elle
3. In the summer, bright colors and "beach hair" styles will be fashionable
4. Tbilisi had many ruined buildings because it was actually bombed by Russia in the recent war
More discoveries coming up, as they come to me.
