		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve determined that Soviet culture either doesn&#8217;t mind, and maybe even encourages, spitting. Yep &#8211;&#62; whoever, wherever, whenever, whyever. Why is whyever not a word? It&#8217;s quite surprising to me because I was brought up in a culture where spitting was shunned &#8211; frowned upon. Only disgusting animals spit &#8211; like monkeys, camels, and snakes, [...]]]></description>

We were having the usual chit-chat, exacerbated by the anxiety-provoking fact that we were all on our way to drop my wife off at the birthing center [...]]]></description>

This is unregulated, unsupervised, unrestricted, unaccompanied, unwieldy, untamed, unconditional&#8230; celebration of the new year. with fireworks, that is&#8230; It is currently approximately 2:30am (Jan 1, [...]]]></description>

Similar to the forced change to digital cable, when we had to pay more for our cable service, forced to rent a cable box, and the analog was switched off&#8230;&#8230; Two days ago there was a major change in price for the Kiev Metro system.

It&#8217;s a very typical 3 second incident. 1) We hear cars accellerating more than they should be. 2) We hear tires screeching for about 1 second (maybe even a horn). 3) We [...]]]></description>

So many people here are &#8220;forced&#8221; into a life of corruption, bribery, scams, theft, extortion, illegality, etc. If you can&#8217;t put food on the table, what would you do? Starve??? So, a bit of money-taking from people that have [...]]]></description>
