This new bluish tram is sighted somewhere near Lenin Square underground station not long ago. I believe that some of us must have saw this early, but hopefully this would be a piece of ‘good news’ for the others who is yet to witness this. Is it the Russian government getting richer nowadays or what?

With smooth sliding doors, I personally think that this new tram carry less people compared to the old ones. The same situation I seen in London when the new underground trains actually have less space compared to the old ones. If so, what is the purpose of upgrading?

These public transport does not use up fuel, but why does the bus fare and tram fare keep on rising? The same thing goes for the marshrutka price. I’m happy that I’m going out from here soon enough before everything start to cost more.

So I sat here yesterday for almost two hours – well not really spent sitting, more of alternating between squirming, lying down, stretching, annoying my roommate, not necessarily in that particular order – trying to think of what to write.

My first idea, since I just finished watching Ichi the Killer the second time, was to write movie reviews on movies you probably have never seen and should see. I wanted to write on Koroshiya Ichi, a movie with excessive violence, violent sex and more violence. A concerned question from the Almighty All-seeing and rather All-too-pansy Admin scrapped that idea out.

Secondly came the idea with the title ‘Mastering Russian 101′, a satirical piece on a newbie’s underestimation of the vastness of the Russian language. But I do think that I could not have written the piece fully without stepping on a whole lot of people’s toes – hell, I might even would have stepped on their gonads for that matter – and since I don’t think the Times support slandering issues, I let that one out.

After a while, my muse whispered to me and suggested for me to write about interesting, at least to me, websites that could kill a few hours of boredom. But I vetoed that for the simple reasoning that people who do visit the site would already have their own time-killing sites.

There were other ideas – Places to visit in Volgograd, Movies I’ve never watched and would respect you so much less if you did, Sustagenius!’s unique recipes that for sure you haven’t tried one, book recommendation, music recommendation – the hell, if I wrote an article for each idea I would have written a whole magazine!

But my name IS Sustagenius! I finally found what to write about.

Do you realize that you have read exactly 302 words on this word? Yeap, an entire post about nothing. I’m such a Sustagenius!

The new Targovi Centre in Varashilovsky Region is now fully reconstructed! Those that have not been there yet would surely like to have a look at this newly renovated shopping complex. The total area of the shopping centre is about 45 thousand square meters. This reconstruction took some 18 months to complete. According to a Russian website, there will be an addition of cinemas, gaming machinese, and ice skating rink built inside (don’t know where to fit).

Below are some of the pictures of the place:
