Well, not exactly. It is almost as good. I was shocked yesterday when we walked inside this non-descript building looking for a blender to find out that not only does a Western-style mall exist here, but also a store that I will call "Wal-mart". It has everything in one place with the exception of the furniture and electronics departments probably at a typical Wal-mart. This is quite unusual in Russia to find a store where you can do one-stop shopping. It was dubbed as a "liquidation" store, but inside it looked similar to a Wal-mart. I even found zip-loc baggies and something akin to Windex. Both of which I was looking for. It is the little things that give encouragement living overseas.
