    Thank you lady :)
    Maybe next time I'll tell why Russian men are afraid of Russian women. OK, we aren't afraid of our ladies. We watch out them a bit :)

    I am sorry! I've forgotten to note. The first building is the Italian theatre La Scala in Milan. The second building is the Omsk Drama Theatre :)

    The photo of the Omsk Drama Theatre is certainly more dramatic with the light and reflection off the water.

    Of course, every dinner needs a main dish. That is stuffed pepper.

    And today I bought first real strawberry. The strawberry time has started! I can't describe an aroma and taste. We can eat real strawberry about two weeks in year. Next we'll buy it in a supermarket. But it will not be tasty.

    Some family from a village brought first strawberry, honeysuckle from their garden and first mushrooms from a close forest. The price for strawberry is 3.18 USD per litre.

    Cherries are usually between Au $10-25 per kilo, depending on quality and time of season.
    They need cool weather to set the fruit and lots of water. The
    I’ve seen cherry orchards under nets to protect them from birds. They have a short season and are very delicate fruit.


    The Australian Cherry Season lasts just 100 days – spanning the spring and summer months. The first cherry harvest starts in October/November in the eastern mainland states and extends through to late February with the majority of cherry crops harvested during December and January.

    Your streets are very clean. Do you have anti littering laws or are people just tidier in Siberia?

    I walked throw the centre of Omsk. Central streets and territory near residential buildings are cleared well because of community services. Suburbs are more dirty. I don't know about anti littering laws. Maybe they work with respect to community services, but usual citizens didn't hear about them. Of course if you are in a clear place you will not litter. If you are in dirty place then some people could do it. I am not sure that Omsk is clearest city of the world but it cleaner than Brussels or Napoli.
