Interesting article in the New York Times about Russia

Thanks to Audrey for emailing me the New York Times article on Russia.

Check out the article here.

Not having hot water in the summer – Moscow isn’t the only city!  When I was in Vladimir, there were a few days when we didn’t have hot water.  One of the American teachers in my group didn’t have hot water the entire time he lived in Vladimir (2 1/2 weeks)!  And, there were periods of time in Murom when there was no hot water.

Not a fun experience – don’t know how many folks out there have had to bath or shower in ice cold water.  Of course, as Americans, we are spoiled!  Most of us bath every day and have hot water at our convenience.  Makes ya think how good we really do have it here in America! 🙂
