Russia, these days. A man looks through the tiny window of a kiosk selling hot drinks and snacks. Green tea, black tea, fruit tea, lemon tea, cream tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water. Cotton candy, popcorn. Prices are in rubles, of course; in euros, it's about €0.2, €0.35, and €0.5. The man is very warmly dressed, because it is freezing outside, -25 Celsius. For the same reason, the kiosk window is tiny. I have heard that there are abnormal frosts in the United States, and a winter apocalypse in Texas and other southern states. In Siberia and the Urals, where I live, frosts are common things, about five months out of the year. We are used to it.
