I'm try posting Chapter 1 for random feedback.<br /><br />Yes the blocs of apartments was a bit different, but I kinda knew what I was walking into, hubby explained a lot, plus I usually pay attention to location settings in the old Soviet countries; kinda pay attention to the buildings and architecture. In teh winter - it is down right depressing, the blocs are so blah, and un artistic, unless you are in the center of Bucuresti leading up to the People's Palace, they are actually pretty, other than that, yeah, it's a mess! In the spring and summer though - it's pretty, everyone has hanging plants and flowers in their windows or on their balconies, the trees are in bloom, etc. <br /><br />Do you have a blog, if so, please track it back!Ex-pat Odessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657864512970771221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066055269353045964.post-63179302966714306162010-08-19T00:36:30.635+03:002010-08-19T00:36:30.635+03:00Hi, I've come across your blog a few days ago....Hi, I've come across your blog a few days ago. You're a fascinating woman, I love reading your stories. You should defo try writing a book! I am Russian myself, left my country about 16 years ago and every time I go back there, it takes me some time to adjust to things but I don't mind it 'coz I used to live in that environment before so I know what to expect :-). But for you someone like you, I can imagine it must have been a shock to see a typical Eastern European block of flats, let alone live there. I really enjoy reading your blog, you have a lovely family! <br /><br />ViolettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066055269353045964.post-76992259978642068232010-08-17T21:25:01.718+03:002010-08-17T21:25:01.718+03:00now THAT'S the amazing thing about having a la...now THAT'S the amazing thing about having a landlord.<br /><br />oh, and congrats on your award.
