Amaks Rostov-on-Don

I work with homeless people. Baba Olya died this week. We saw her a week ago Friday, she had been beat up real bad and she didn't want to move from the pipes where she was laying. Those pipes were burning her but she still would not move. She was really depressed and hopeless. Was there anything ...

I have just made it back to Russia. I had a 3 month break in the middle because my passport was stolen by a Russian police officer. I strongly advise that if you can help if, to never have to travel on an emergency passport - not fun! I love Rostov on Don. I love Russia. It is great to be back. I live in my own apartment this time. Which makes life easier here!

... Instead of trying to go to Turkey and the Lebanon, I'd go to the Czech Republic and then home to Michigan. Two days later, I legally left Ukraine, and I had to pay a $70 fine to do so. They'd thought I'd been in their country for the past eight months. They, at least, gave me a receipt. The Ukrainian officer explained the fine: "It's the law. You have to know what the laws are." Or, you can just choose to follow your own. - Modern O.
