Thats it, I've had enough! The temperature has just dropped to -28C here -34 with the wind chill(It's 10am). Its so cold that snot froze at the tip of my nose, when I brushed it away the skin came off too!
To cap that, one of the locals just said "Wait til it gets really cold"
9 days time I will be on my way home and a new job is definitely on the cards!!!

Far East Russia on an oil project, the last 7 years I've been in West Africa, talk about chalk and cheese.
After this I will never complain about the heat again!

Ah think i would prefer cold. My Brothers missus dad was in that line of business for BP. Mainly in Africa aswell. Bet the job has perks though! Only thing i realy know bout that side of russia is thats where they used to send all the prisoners to slave labour. No need to chain them up because there was nothing to run too!!!! (road of bones!)

I have to admit its beautiful in the summer but all you can see in the winter is snow and trees, I will try and dig around for some landscape pix.

Are you sure you're not just on the set of The Thing? LOL! It feels like it at times, especially when you bump into some of the old Russian cleaners! |
