I know I am behind updating this site, as my Mom keeps reminding me. I am going to try and be better, I promise! I am posting a few pictures of Yuzhno that have been taken over the past few months. Just a little of what I see on a regular basis...
A shot of the mountain in the background
People selling stuff on the street
Most people walk everywhere or take the bus
Apartment building
Shipping containers with windows? I hope this isn't someone's house...
Slaviansky's Complex has one of the better grocery stores
Another apartment building
Azbuka Detstva (Childhood ABC) is Yuzhno's version of a Toy's R Us
Russian Orthodox Church
Gornii Vozdukh, the ski mountain
Another church; I thought this one had an interesting look with the stained glass windows

Properly done, a modified shipping container can be very livable. There are a couple of shipping container houses in the Heights area, and they are commonly used to build housing for drilling sites. In Yuzhno, I would hope they put some insulation in them, or you could be a little cold.
It's been cool here in Doha. The other day it was down to 13 or so. Sweaters were in order.
I don't know about Russia, but here in Korea those shipping containers are often used as construction offices, or as cheap housing in really poor areas.
