My Blog
Why is it that I am more inclined to give money to a panhandling kitty than to a panhandling human? I do occasionally give money to homeless people on the street, but I know that, more often than not, they will use that money for alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes and I just don't want to support that. I would rather give my money to an organization directly working with homeless that provides them with resources and skills to rise out of homelessness. However, I somehow find this little kitty tha...

As I was sitting in a cab on my way to the travel immunization clinic (for my yellow fever shots) a few weeks ago, we drove past a gas station where I saw that gas had gone over $4.00 a gallon. At that moment, it dawned on me that despite the huge increase in gas prices over the past 4 years, I have not seen an increase in taxi fares. How is this possible? Who's losing out here? Are the cab companies taking in less money (which would be hard to imagine) or is it the drivers that are suffering...

I feel like this city is outdoing every other city in so many aspects. Soon (within a few months) it will claim the title of having the tallest building in the world and currently it has the tallest hotel in the world (first blog photo from this trip) as well as the fastest train in the world. When you arrive at the airport, you will ask yourself "should I take a 45 minute taxi ride on congested roads or take a 7 minute 20 second ride on the world's fastest train?" Which would you choose?

Here's a photo of the city from our hotel room on the 52nd floor. Unfortunately, the two tallest building are a bit farther in the distance and the night is too hazy to actually see them. However, if you were to see them from this photo, they are the third tallest and soon to be the tallest buildings in the world.

It's hard to keep up with these blog posts when we're out so much so this one is a few days after the fact. We're now back at our original destination, but a few days ago we took a gondola ride across the ocean to an island where there are several thousand rhesus monkeys. Because of the lack of time I'm going to copy and paste the description I read from another site about this place:

After finally getting a 7-hour night's sleep (we've been running on 4 and 5 hour nights.) we spent the day exploring this new place. It was pleasantly hot, the air was clean, and the food was delicious. I also really enjoyed not seeing a single American tourist. However, while the Americans might be lacking, the Russians seem to flock here in droves. In fact, it's such a popular escape from the cold Russian winters that you see Russian writing in menus and even some street signs.
