My students laughed when they saw the VIP lounge sign next to the old soldiers at the Astana train station. Seems a bit oxymoronic. Also, having a photo of my husband at a Shell gas station when 20 years ago it was illegal to take photos of any gas station or airport in the former USSR. Times are a-changing.
I just HAD to take a photo of this old typewriter with Cyrillic letters.
