Today I bought a nice rug for my apartment. It cost about $50 - in the states the same rug would likely go for $200 (or perhaps $400 because it would be an import ). Then Maryna helped me pick out a watch - it cost $60, a good price I think. I like bargain shopping, and this is definitely the place for it.
I can't believe how much food they have been feeding me here. I was hoping to lose some weight (5 or 8 pounds) while I traveled because it is easy to do when there is little pressure or stress on me, however, I don't think it will be possible with the cooking here. Their food is very very delicious *grin* Self control is not an option as the locals become very offended if you don't eat what they provide.
