Today is my day off… and I am not even sure what to do. I have some books I need to read and the website to update and we will visit our friend at the hospital. Sasha* (name changed) has been in the hospital for a while now – he has lung cancer. We visit him and bring him some food, since his Mum can’t really be there. The other day his Mum wanted to meet with us at her place. The family lives in a poor area in Vladivostok – it took us quite a while to get there.
