you think this sounds boring as a title?
ha! it ain't...
my sister used to live in russia 3 years ago. in st. petersburg. so when i moved here, to moscow, she came to visit me over the weekend. i took her to the semi-western supermarket just across my street. and there she stood! in front of the shelve with all the toilet paper. she could hardly believe it - imagine that! several different brands of toilet paper! she was happy as a little kid...
because in her shops in st. petersburg, you were lucky to find 2 different brands of toilet paper. all the same. hard carton-paper basically... you know, the old soviet toilet paper...
my sister thought that living in moscow is no fun, is no adventure, when you can buy the smooth fine toilet paper like we know from western europe. life's too easy here in moscow, she said.
it's the small things that count in life!
