Our market, наш рынок

We live on улица жуковского, Zhukovskava Street, in the section of Миасс called Машгородок (Mashgoradak). There are many wonderful things on our street, best of all is the market.

Here is our market, the brick building contains small stores which sell meat, fish, produce. You can also find stands outside all around this building. Behind it is a supermarket, similiar to what we have in the US (but much smaller). PS - smaller is better.

There are also produce vendors on many street corners. Here is one just at the end of our street.


Again, on our street is a small store underground. It sells an assortment of things, dairy, ice cream, eggs, cheese, meat, tea, cakes, and drug store items.

бабушка и яйца (old lady and eggs)

кефир, молоко, сметана и творог (kefer, milk, sour cream and cottage cheese)


Russians do love their мороженое (ice cream). But Americans take note: individual portions. I have yet to a gallon or even quart of ice cream. Only single servings.
