Food

We are trying to get out of the zoo for a little while most days. After work we tend to wander down to the shops and try out our Russian on the unsuspecting locals. People are very kind and helpful and try to understand our requests for bread and cheese. We usually manage to buy roughly what we intended to. There are a few supermarkets here, but most shopping is done daily at little street kiosks. Along the row of shops you can buy most things that you need. Fruit, veg, milk, bread etc. Food is very cheap in comparison to the UK. We often eat at a little cafe near the zoo. It serves Ukrainian food which is really tasty. For about £3 each we can have a full meal with salads and a beer.
