>>18140635I feel bad for not properly responding. When I was a kid my family would send me to Moscow or Tver for a summer, sometimes w also would go to Vladivostok or Khabarovsk, so I wasn't a wild forest child and been relatively travelst for a young kid. About the town itself and the living there. It was very nice there. Small town in a middle of nowhere, river, all japanese cars, huge railroad station we would go to watch trains leave. I really liked there, but it was a dying city. It's only purpose to service the railroad. No production besides gravel and lamber. Everything has to be delivered. The soil is permafrost, the fertile layer is very thin and ice begins maybe at half of a meter deep. It needs a lot of fertilizer to grow anything at all and even so it won't be commercial viable. We tried to grow some vegetables, managed to grow shitty tiny potatos, cucumbers and tomatoes in a warm house, onions and such, but all is very labor consuming and barely yelds anything. Can't have animals either. So everything has to be imported. Chinese fruits and vegetables, frozen meat, also a lot of roo meat from straya, fish, grain from the mainland, all delivered on trains. It's like living in anclav.
