Leisure center
We've got a video letter from an anonymous reader:
I live in Uritskoye, a large village in the suburb of Gomel. My village is a good place to live in as we have everything necessary for our everyday life here. We have a secondary school, a music school, a bank, a post-office, a House of Culture, a church, 3 hairdresser’s and two kindergartens. There are several shops and some outlets [ларьки] in the village. If we have something special in mind [хотим что-то особенное] we can easily get to Gomel, the public transport here works really well. |
