Quality Mall Time

Apollo mall in Dnepropetrovsk.

In all the malls there are large grocery stores, in one called Varius I found frozen apricots!

 Buying seafood and chicken is different from the way we do it in America.....

You pick up your own fish or you can have them clean it for you.

To buy chicken you put a plastic bag over your hand and put the pieces you want in a bag.

In Dnepropetrovsk there is a coffee shop "Coffee Life" chain similar to Starbucks. The coffee is yummy and Dior loves coming with me to use the wifi internet.

Mocha! I always have pictures of me drinking coffee!

Adjusting to Dnepropetrovsk

Its now October and after a rough start we seem to be adjusting. We've been learning how to take public transportation and thankfully haven't ended up on the wrong street. The buses here are very small and don't have designated stops just specific routes. You can pretty much walk out to the street and wave them down. Then when we are ready to get off we simply tap the driver and say STOP please. We are trying to learn how to say it in Russian but sometimes we forget.

Dior's team had their first home game and WON! The gym is small which I actually like because it makes the fans really loud.  Their team plays again at home tomorrow night so I'm hoping we come away with a second home win!
