Living in China has made me realize some differences between my culture and China's. For example they do not use ovens to cook. I thought I had an oven in my apartment, but ended up being a sterilizer for dishes. Chinese wash their dishes in cold water than cycle them through a sterilizer. Not having an oven is sad, because that means no baking cookies or cakes. Another difference is most apartments don't have bathtubs. I love taking baths so this was a disappointment. Washing cloths is another difference. Washing machines are outside and you dry your cloths outside, too. The Chinese believe you should always iron your clothes to kill micro-organisms since the cloths dry outside. Not a bad idea. I've never even thought about the micro-organisms on my cloths. I'm not much into ironing, but maybe I'll start.

How fun that we both have laundry pictures on our blogs right now! Yours looks more inviting. =) I'm so excited that you're going to check with a travel agent there. Ask about the tourist visa for Russia, too. That's probably the best way to find out and the easiest way to get one.
