I felt a lot of energy of Rusian young people

Before I went to Vladiostok, I didn't have any idea about Russian cultures. Though my idea has changeed as Copernicus.Especially young people have a lots of energy. Young girls ware cool and young boys have a lots of interests about anything, so Russians will have a great future.
My job is in automobile manufacture. Is there anyone who know about Russian made Rotary engine BUS??
I talked about that with young man who was TAXI driver(whose's specialty was Chemistry).

Market from the back of a truck

This is located at the end of bus route 49, a suburb located on the peninsula southeast to that of Vladivostok Downtown, and found open cafes and markets such as this one at the main bus roundabout terminal. Further outward were many tower blocks of housing.

Welcome to Russia! - Vladivostok

Welcome to Russia!

About 95% of all automobiles in Vladivostok...

...are used cars from Japan. There are a few new Japanese models here and about.

The city buses are of all various types, all old. Many are formerly Korean City Buses with their destinations in Hangul left intact (we even caught a glimpse of a 1970's model of our old neighbourhood Tokyu Bus - talk about a retro time warp from childhood!!!)

Most of the imported 2nd-hand commerical vehicles in use have the Japanese Company Name and contact number painted on the body, and used as is!!

Lotte's Milkis Drink in Russia - Vladivostok

Lotte's Milkis Drink in Russia

Milkis Drink by Lotte... Yum!!

In case you weren't aware, Lotte is the top Korean brand for drinks and confections - something like Korea's version of the Coca-Cola company.

This particular drink is a lightly carbonated sweet yoghurt flavoured soda. Tastes a lot like the Japanese Calpis Soda brand.

There are lots of Lotte products available here!
