Урал Грейт (Ural Great)

Days off are nice. This one was relatively busy, but a good busy.

We only really started the day off at 10:00 with breakfast, then a group of people decided to go to downtown Perm to shop and see what was there.

First off we found a few malls, and went in to see what was there. They were relatively boring to be honest, mostly filled with stores with coats and stuff, no interesting sports stores or anything.

Then we went to a square filled with ice sculptures. A lot of them were slides ranging from one 10-15 feet high to little ones for the kids. There were also a few other things like a tiny set of swings, a stage, a throne and gates for all of the enterances/exits.

Then we walked up to a giant sports store to see what was there, though we didn't have much time there. Then we took a but to the 'Молот' (pronounced like 'mullet') to see the local professional basketball team play. The team is called 'Ural Great' and they were playing Dynamo Moscow. It was a great game, and a close one. It went into overtime, there was a buzzer beater in the 3rd quarter, and the home team won, that's about as much as you can ask for in a game.

Now it's late, and things are winding down to a pleasant conclusion.
