Another unknown car - and the Dutchman is on vacation for a few days so others have a chance to guess! :)
Garbage collection - starts...
Loading the container....
Finally on the bed.
This is not a quick or easy procedure!
Deep snow!
Flying the glider
Dad had to help repair the wing!
And dad had to give a lift when the glider flew into the snowbank! (yes, it's in there sticking out slightly!)

Wow, the Angara looks really beautiful in that shot!
Well, the pizza is pretty! I know what you mean by 'American' pizza! It's like they don't use sauce or something - and the cheesse isn't the same.
On the garbage truck...well, not quick or easy process is kind of indicitive of all things Russian! ya know - as a people - Russians live by "life is hard" and they are to be commended for the "suffering" they've endured over the centuries...if I remember that - the fact that stores randomly close, the pizza is barely passable, the visa office won't give any kind of timeline, and no one ever calls when they say they will doesn't surprise me!
Sometimes I think if I were to move to Irkutsk and open some kind of business - I would be so wildly succesful for the simple reason that I would communicate with the customers and I would have a real idea of customer service. On the other hand, it would probably freak out the Russians, and they wouldn't trust me - wonder what I was up to being so 'nice'! HAHA! ...and I think Itk could use a nice ladies boutique with CAbi style clothes - don't ya think? I could do fashion shows on the walking street, partner with that one nicer cosmetic store on Karl Marx - I got plans! HAHA!
