June 12, 2022 - trying to figure out which washer setting is the best for delicate clothes. p.s. I don’t think it was any of these. also in hindsight, the t-shirt symbol makes more sense now that I know хлопок is cotton 🙄 feel kinda silly that I couldn’t figure that one out
June 10, 2022 - thought this was a kinda cool looking old car even though I’m not a car person, and then the ‘911 AAH’ on the main part of the license plate got me so I HAD to get a picture
June 9, 2022 - when I look at this building, I always wonder how meetings with the architect(s) went (if there were any meetings at all…maybe they were given free reign)
June 7, 2022 - after some googling this seems to be a sumac plant? Some of the flower clusters/bunches are a darker red
June 6, 2022 - thought this vehicle outside my apartment building looked a little strange…turns out служба is ‘service’ which is rather vague, but аварийная means ‘emergency’. I wonder what kind of emergency they were responding to? There are ambulances here but they look like normal ambulance cars rather than trucks? So I’m not sure if this kind of vehicle shows up in the event of a medical emergency or a different kind of emergency…or maybe any kind of emergency. It was gone when I exited the building
June 5, 2022 - menu at a recently opened bubble tea shop not too far from where I live. The boba and tea are just okay…but as far as I know this is the only bubble tea shop in this city 🙃
June 1, 2022 - small pillow which a bus driver used for holding change (the odd colored part in the bottom left corner is my finger 😒)
May 31, 2022 - MicroBlog Photo Challenge Day 31: unfortunate news. My electric kettle no longer has any endurance and doesn’t boil water any more. As someone who enjoys hot tea even in the summer, I am sad. There is a stove available, but an electric kettle is more convenient
May 29, 2022 - MicroBlog Photo Challenge Day 29: wipes, napkins and toilet paper packaging with lots of stripes
May 28, 2022 - MicroBlog Photo Challenge Day 28: something which looked like a small fair or market in a mall parking lot
May 27, 2022 - MicroBlog Photo Challenge Day 27: essay written by one of my students. His essays always make me laugh, though I sincerely hope he finds a more fulfilling hobby than playing computer games
May 26, 2022 - MicroBlog Photo Challenge Day 26: schedule which I drew on the board in our teacher’s room which ended up getting erased when our room began to be used for a one-on-one Russian lesson because there aren’t enough classrooms this month 🙄
