http://brucelenorf.blogspot.com/2010/06/saratov.html
A compilation of deep, deep daily thoughts from deep, deep Siberia. Sunday, June 6, 2010. We went to Saratov to say Hi to Katya's family. I'll skip the details about the family. just in case they read this blog, let me say that they are all extremely nice people, very welcoming and that it was a pleasure to meet them all. The weather was beautiful, we walked a lot, so I am bringing back a few pictures from there. Please share with all foreigners who could not go there until 1992. June 6, 2010 at 9:43 PM.

A compilation of deep, deep daily thoughts from deep, deep Siberia. Sunday, May 16, 2010. Rediscovering the world with new eyes: wildlife. I used to think there was no wildlife around Akademgorodok. That was before I got into photography. Oh! I used to be such a banal pointer-and-shooter, oblivious to the beauty of nature surrounding me. How could I just go around like that and watch the world through 7.1 Megapixels only? Why did nobody tell me about features other than the "Auto" mode? I am so excited a...

http://brucelenorf.blogspot.com/2010/09/irkutsk-and-legend-of-baikal.html
A compilation of deep, deep daily thoughts from deep, deep Siberia. Sunday, September 26, 2010. Irkutsk and the legend of Baikal. Going to Irkutsk and visit Katya's family was also the occasion to visit the city and the surroundings in more depth than I did 2 years ago. The center of Irkutsk is rather pretty in fact, with nice avenues and buildings with nice shops. We strolled along the avenues past the local statue of Lenin all the way to the embankment of the Angara past the statue of the tsar Nikolai 2.

A compilation of deep, deep daily thoughts from deep, deep Siberia. Thursday, November 11, 2010. 1, 2 and 3! I have now officialy completed my 3rd year in Siberia. That is a happy event. I can now celebrate that I am 3 years closer to leaving than when I arrived. Tadaa. Keeping up the level by practicing with Urmik? What else will I get out of those 3 years beside the semantics to talk to Urmik? Are you going to honeymoon in Baikal? So what is the second best thing about living in Siberia? November 14, 2...

A compilation of deep, deep daily thoughts from deep, deep Siberia. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. When you cannot prevent a risk, mitigate it. Who said that safety standards in Russia are low? Obviously, someone very oblivious to his surroundings in the critical moments. See the picture below to see how pro-activity rules when it comes to mitigate head injuries in the toilets.

Eastern Promises: November 2009
http://brucelenorf.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
A compilation of deep, deep daily thoughts from deep, deep Siberia. Sunday, November 29, 2009. To make up for the lack of entertainment provided on Monday nights by the beginners who accidentaly run in the walls or fall hard on their butt, "real" hockey uses cheer leaders who get animated every time the game stops. Not as fun, but interesting enough to get the crowd all cheered up. That's a good trick we'll have to keep in mind if we want to start charging on Mondays. Sunday, November 15, 2009. Urmik als...

I believe the sculpture which won the contest was the butt-like pair of pears, but don't quote me on this one. If you want to see these sculptures, don't worry, no need to hurry up. They are exposed until it gets warm. Thursday, January 7, 2010. The truth about Belokurikha. A picture of the microclimate in Belokurikha,. 2-The chairlift says...
