We have some fried and baked cereals here. It's almost healthier to eat a McDonalds burger.

Iam suprised that its sold on open supermarket shelves, alcohol is normally expensive here that its sold in a separate section and expensive stuff is kept behind the counter.
I guess in Strayala you can buy cheap fruit drinks and just leave them out in the sun to ferment
Cool video, some interesting foods

Technically its a bottlemart which is inside part of the supermarket, but its just the supermarket with a small section that sells the alcohol

I think it was Smirnoff for $30 nzd on special. Didn't catch the size, use to be 1125ml then 1 litre, might be 700 mls now.
Spirits cost something similar to when I was a teenager but the portion sizes have gotten smaller.
Not a wine fan but prefer Aussie wine over NZ but prefer our beer but I assume some Aussie craft beers are decent.
This is Aussie the girls like it. Christmas breakfast probably.
And then there's this atrocity. Alcoholic strawberry milkshake.
Real men don't touch this stuff ( I might try it later idk).

Yes, mostly because of added sugar. Buckwheat is just whole grain porridge without additives.

Brewed in Russia by Baltika. Based on a Czech beer.

An Unbearable situation.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50677161BBC said:Ryrkaypiy: Far-north Russian village overrun by polar bears
More than 50 polar bears have descended on a village in Russia's far north.
All public activities in Ryrkaypiy, in Chukotka region, have been cancelled, and schools are being guarded to protect residents from the bears.
Conservationists say climate change could be to blame, with weak coastal ice forcing the bears to search for food in the village rather than at sea.
Other experts have said polar bear visits are now so frequent, Ryrkaypiy should be permanently evacuated.
Tatyana Minenko, head of Ryrkaypiy's bear patrol programme, told Ria Novosti that they had counted 56 polar bears in the village.
The animals were "both adult and young... there were females with cubs of different ages", she said - adding that almost all of them appeared to be thin.
The polar bears normally live on Cape Schmidt, just 2.2 km (1.4 miles) from Ryrkaypiy. WWF conservationist Mikhail Stishov said the area had been experiencing unusually warm weather.
"If the ice were strong enough the bears, or at least some of them, would have already gone to sea, where they could hunt for seals or sea hares," he said.
While waiting for the ice to freeze they are drawn to villages for food, Mr Stishov added.
Last week, a polar bear specialist from the Institute of Biological Problems of the North said the bears now visit Ryrkaypiy so often that the village should be evacuated, and its roughly 700 residents resettled.
Anatoly Kochnev told Tass news agency that polar bear visits are increasingly frequent - and that just five years ago, only about five bears got close to the village.
"I as a scientist believe [Ryrkaypiy village] should not remain there," he said. "We try to control the situation, but nobody would want to think what may happen there in three to five years."
The region's animal protection official Yegor Vereshchagin told Tass that if residents wished to leave, "they could organise a referendum".

@red_elk The article on the Congo Crisis you translated for me and the political cartoon about Hammarskjold were very useful during the Historical Security Council. They definitely helped give a different perspective to the representatives and definitely helped the Soviet Union representatives who often struggle to represent the Soviet viewpoint without falling back on Cold Warrior nonsense.

Can't imagine why people want to shoot secret police.

FSB has the reputation of repackaged slightly nicer KGB. Some of the dirty work in Russia guess who probably does it?
