Ron, I’m sure you’re right about ‘don’t do it the right way, just do it how we think it’s done’ – I haven’t yet found a bed sheet in Russia that will actually tuck into a mattress on all 4 sides. They are always too narrow or too short, or both! And there’s this strange thing here where you have to make your own bed in hotels. They hand you the bed linen and leave you to it!

Actually there isn’t many mozzies, or insects. The insects were much worse when we camped in the forests in Sweden and Norway. There is a pipeline that takes oil to the pacific coast, and one that takes oil from western russia to Europe, but I think there are many smaller oilfields not covered by pipelines.

What about MOZZIES I recall a tv show of a certain tribe rounding up rain-deers in the part of the world you are in now and the M where driving them mad the Russians are not tiny people so why build small beds I just think its there way of thinking dont do it as it should be done but do it because we think its right I though there was a pipe line bring oil and gas from Siberia to eastern Europe I thought someone blew it up and Europe where short of supplies.
