Dennis, hi!

thank you for the workshop. yes, your colours are definitely livelier:)

Anadyr's population is something around 12,000 people.

For Chukotka, it's a big city. In Chukotka, which area is probably close to France, there are only about 53 000 people (in 2002).
Cheers,
Olya

Hi Olga,

This place is 12,000 people with so many appartment blocks??!! Jeezz...
Was the place bigger in the past? Just wondering...

Greetings!

I don't think so, Dennis.
It seems the town is only growing.
Buy I was surprised too, I expected it to be twice as big according to how it looks.
If it wasn't a border zone with restricted access, I would think of many unregistered migrants who possibly be interested to stay in a town that is quickly developing. But in case of Anadyr I doubt it. To enter the town (to leave the airport) one must have an invitation stamped at the police office with the duration of stay.
And Russia pretends to be a free country now!!....

Hi Olga,

I'm now starting to wonder if your name is Olga or Olya ;-).

Funny story about the police stamp. Still the same here in some areas of Indonesia. I've got a special police pass that grants access to all areas... It is a developed country next to this ;-)

Olya is diminutive of formal Olga.
Nobody actually calls me Olga:)
Talking about police, I sometimes mistakenly take Russia as a European country...

Oh, I should not say that! ;-)
