Nizhny Novgorod

[Andrew Jameson]

Dear Colleagues,
I joined Seelangs to find out exactly the type of information Professor
Szabo is asking for..!  I would not be disturbed to see the answers on
the list, rather I would be most interested and grateful.
Yours sincerely
Andrew Jameson

> Are European grocery stores still the only place to find Western grocery

> does it warm up again? I'm also planning on taking a laptop computer - will
> it be possible to get an internet provider (I'm obliged to have a phone in

> So as not to burden everyone, please reply to me off-list. Thanks a lot. I
