Kazan — summer 2012

Y'know, all this blogging takes a lot of time. While the shashlyk were cooking, the banya was being fired up. Danila's brother Sasha and I used it after dinner. The banya is sort of the Russian version of a sauna, except that they actually use it to clean up. And to beat each other with birch branches. No, I'm not kidding. I'll try to add details and pictures later
