Yesterday was really kinda like a hungry-ghost day. Woke up in the morning to set up this new site and after that went to the China Town to cut my hair!
Well, there is no real China Town in Volgograd. It is just a small building with lotsa China people selling things inside. I think it is more accurate if you call it China Market.
We started the visit with our lunch.
We ordered a plate of tofu dish, a plate of mutton dish, a bowl of mee soup, some china-made ‘biscuits’ and a bowl of rice and all of them cost us 600 rubles (around 79 ringgit)
Seriously, I think it is expensive. Even thou the portions are big but the pricings are a little bit weird. The plate of tofu dish cost 250 rubs while the mutton dish cost 280 rubs if not mistaken. Notice the difference? Well, it is the only place in town that you could get some chinese food with a relatively lower price compared to those proper restaurants, so there is nothing much to complaint about. Despite the fact that the place is not really well furnished and it is always filled with cigarette smoke, people still go there for their weekly/monthly/yearly dose of chinese food.
I got my hair cut by the Chinese working in the saloon there. It cost only 100 rub! Haha. Recommended because it is cheaper and I don’t think the russians know how to cut our hair. No before and after pic thou.
We took marshrut half way and walked for some distance. And the weather was perfect.
Told you all that Russia has blue sky. Blue blue cloudless sky.
Winter is coming, leaves are getting yellow. Too bad you can’t see much of the Volga river from this pic.
Came home to another feast with housemates and Cherrie.
Curry chicken, fried fish and vege. So much food for today.
I wouldn’t be at home today because I’m going to Republic of Kalmykia with Leedwi and another 2 friends. Will be back on Monday morning. I hope the trip is going to be good. Seriously hope so. Pray for me!
