. They drink this thing called vodka, and they call it The General. With lemons, things get a little better.

SO, LIKE, WE HAD THIS TOUR GUIDE named Frodo, who apparently had suffered a major injury on his snowboard in Siberia. He flew off the cliff into a tree and had to be welded back together. He couldn't skate but made us suffer by walking or riding some wiggleboard contraption all around with bindings on it. Slow indeed. No spots means no busting for photos. I ditched out.
