fog, ice-cream and vodka

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Today I received a request by the family dog Rachel to go for a walk:

So we stumbled through the fog for a little while:

There was a little kid with an eye-patch riding a bike:

And an old dude with a tattoo repairing a car:

In the afternoon my friends took me out shopping. We went to the bazar:

There were different halls that sold different things. Meat…

…dairy products…

…and fruit:

I liked the last one best.

Tell you a secret: Russians make very good ice-cream. And LOTS of it:

They even have ice-cream in the shape of a sausage…

…or, better yet, the occasional liter of communist ice-cream:

It says: “Workers of the world, unite!” in 15 languages on the box.

Tonight I got to try two brands of vodka. Георгиевская (Georgievskaya):

And Калашников (Kalashnikov):

Hard to decide which one was better. Георгиевская had a very good taste (birch-flavored: 8/10), while Калашников definitely had the better bottle design, though didn’t taste as good (6/10).

But it had a way cooler name.

Soundtrack: Fugazi – “Cashout”
