Is the "rasputitsa" still a huge deal or are there enough paved roads through the region that it doesn't matter as much now?

SHISHKABOB posted:How often do you see bears? Are they big bears? What about moose or large deer-like animals? 5-6 times in year i see bears and moose or large deer-like animals in a zoo in city Novosibirsk. But onсe i met bear in nature reserve Ergaki. . That day i did not go on a mountain. I was left in camp for climbers. We knew that in nature reserve Ergaki wаlked bears. They (bears) stole food at camp for climbers. Therefore we hanged knapsack with food on a tree. But that day climbers which went on the mountain took away cordage. I moved a backpack far away from tent under a tree that the bear didn't get into tent. Then i cooked food for climbers which went on the mountain. Also I left a pan with porridge near a tree. I sleeped in tent. I heard that at the camp someone went and rattled ware. I thought that climbers returned. But climbers didn't speak among themselves. This was strange. I asked: "Who here? " To me answered: "rrrrrrrrrrrr". I understood that it was the bear. I told it: "leave" But To me answered: "rrrrrrrrrrrr". The bear ate all porridge which I cooked for climbers. Then bear left. This was the small bear. Climbers returned at night. I told them abot bear. They told me that they met bear too. They told me that Lena saw an rear end of a bear and cried: "What terrible rear end! " The bear escaped. I saw moose when i was in geological practice. utjkju fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Feb 7, 2014 |

Hoover Dam posted:We used the Russian word for that in English--"perestroika." "Perestroika" and "glasnost" were very big topics on American news when they started. Perogi we cook from yeast dough. Vareniky have not meat stuffing. Pelmeny (пельмени) have meat stuffing. As we have a dish from Uzbek cuisine - chuchvra. Chuchvara is borsch with pelmeni and adjika sauce. Anna Mirtova will represent our city and Russia at the Olympic Games. She acts in slopestyle. All of us are glad for she.

Is there an alternate way to translate this into English or are the Russians just that "If you observe rules that you show respect to daemons. And daemons love you. If you break a ban, you will be pursued by failures. This is a rule boomerang. " Many people in our country believe that if if the person makes to other person (or to a animal or to daemon) the evil that this evil will return in one of these fine days to the person which makes this evil. The evil as a boomerang comes back to the owner. Phrase "you will be pursued by failures." means that to you won't be possible to disappear from evil return which you made. Evil, which you made, find you.

What temperature do you keep your house at? I live in Canada, normally I set the thermostat to 17 in the winter. Right now I have an American roommate so the temperature is 21. How much does the extreme cold affect physical things? When it gets below -25 here, opening the door creates a wall of fog, touchscreen phones don't work properly, and my porch makes loud cracking noises from the wood contracting.

I once read a travel log of Siberia - it was called "In Siberia" by Colin Thubron. Anyway, at one point he was on a train when his fellow passengers let him know his hair was full of these black insects. Thubron was horrified, and brushed them out of his hair, and fellow travelers spent a few merry moments stamping them. Thubron then explained that in Siberia, there are insects that live in trees and can see in infra-red, and they wait for warm blooded things to go beneath their tree, so they can drop on them and burrow into their skin. I'm not sure if it is to lay eggs or what, but in humans since they usually land on the head, they burrow inside and cause encephalitis. So from spring to midsummer, anybody walking outside always has to keep their head covered. I'm interested in Siberia because it sounds like Canada, my home country in some ways, but I got to that part and was all  First question: So, is this true? Is it just some parts of Siberia you have to worry about those...things? Second question: have you ever been to Lake Baikal? Third Question: Have you ever driven a UAZ Bukhanka? If so, what is it like?

In Canada they like to hide in tall grass when it gets too windy, and swarm in huge masses when somebody unfortunate disturbs them.

Right now I have an American roommate so the temperature is 21. In the winter we set the thermostat to 22. Temperature of air -25 is not cold. Our physical things are intended for temperature to -50. But cars are badly started at a temperature of-28. Touchscreen phones we carry close to the body. For example, in a trouser pocket. Therefore phones don't freeze. At-35 on the street there is a frosty fog. And if to go for a walk, on eyelashes and a scarf there will be a hoarfrost.

utjkju, unless you're in a town of just 50 people, trust the statistics; you know at least one LGBT person. What you don't know is an OPENLY gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender person - you don't know anyone who admits it. The West didn't invent boys kissing boys.

Either way, if he doesn't know anyone who is openly LGBT then it's kind of an odd choice to ask him about it versus anything else he would know more about. Utjkju, what are the hunting laws where you are? Do you ever go hunting for deer or rabbit? Is it common? I live in Minnesota, which is called "America's Siberia". Many people in the city do not hunt, but outside the city, it's a very common activity. The government even shoots extra deer and gives the deer meat to homeless people.

(Blood is necessary to insects to create posterity) And sometimes, in case of Borrelia, the tick vomiting back contents of it's stomach into our bloodstream, where the Borrelia in ticks originally reside (they do transmit from saliva to, as the bacteria can migrate to saliva). The poster asking about ticks made it sound so exotic. You don't need to go as far as Siberia to find ticks carrying TBE. They exist in Central Europe, Germany and in certain hotspots in Scandinavia as well, including where i live, the area around Stockholm. Thankfully there are vaccines against it, and sadly none for the more common Borrelia, althoug Borrelia is easy to treat with antibiotics. And from what i've read, American ticks carry a wider selection of tick-borne diseases than you'll find in Europe. Now for a question. Do you do any outdoor activites in Tomsk, like skiing, hiking, fishing or hunting? It seems that the area would be great for that.
