They like to get together with their extended family as well for parties and dinners. A lot of their stores are markets that are located out side for people to see all of the different foods. Most of the stores have the farmers that grew it out selling it. They talked about how alot of people don't have cars. That the schools that children get educated at are under Communist rule. Finally that Russia is big on the arts. Which is the plays and the paintings.
