Made an attempt to cook Solyanka for a dinner today, but got something completely different due to peculiarities of available components. Pickled cucumbers and Chinese sausages were sweet. Bouillon wasn’t thick enough. On a positive side, I had two types of chillies. As a result I created very nice sweet, sour and spicy soup. Eating the dinner was equivalent to a visit to sauna.

Today I finally got a new passport. I applied first in the end of April while was working in Malaysia. By the end of August, when I was moving to Singapore, it still wasn’t ready, so I had to apply again here. It seems Russian state institutes when hiring giving preferences to retards, it took them almost 8 months to print a new passport.

Currently looking for solution with gnome, or maybe will upgrade to Xubuntu. This version IMO is a big step back in usability.
