David- Hello all. I wanted to add some more info on our stay here the city we are in is a nice small city of around 9000 I think. The taxi drive we have been use most here drives an old soviet era car which I really like that was one of the things on my to do list. I was very excited to be able to close my door. Their is a trick to lifting the handle when you close the door to get it to latch properly. The car is very old and the driver said he would by a new one if he had the money. I like it and most of the other vehicles here. in america people would buy them and restore them as collectors items but here they keep them running. Our facuilitator seemed surprised when I said we only keep our vehicles for 10 years which is probably a stretch for most. Their is a lot of neat old trucks and evan motorcycles. Another neat thing is the taxis and buses in Gorlovka run off of natural gas. They have tanks in the trunk which make it tough for luggage but is cheaper
