It was raining.

I'm at the new place now. It's a baseroom. There's even a dog here. Watching LOST. $400 a month split between 4 people.

Albina and Lyonya brought our stuff here – it's NorthEast.

I've been living in a hostel for free for the last few days, sleeping in different rooms.

I want to buy a cooler and sell water on the road. Costs: cooler – $30, dry ice – $10, water $4 for 24 bottles. I'll sell them for $1 a bottle, I think it'll work out.

This morning we almost burned down the hostel before leaving. Egor poured too much oil into the pan and it caught fire – he put the pan under water, the flame was 3 meters high – I grabbed the fire extinguisher – but some Mexican guy had already put it out) But it was fun, actually.

Last night I wrote a description of Filya for the contest on exchange.iec.ru. Seems pretty good.

I think I'll buy the cooler today or tomorrow. Ilyukha is heading home after all – it's a pity, but that's his decision. It's tough here this year, but you have to hang in there – the point of the trip is to test yourself.
