24th of August: Homework: Describe Place or Region

Describe place/region that you have been/live in. Talk about at least 3 physical characteristics and 2 human/environment interactions.

I used to live in Moscow. Moscow was located on flatland. It was built near Moskva River. In winter, it was freezing and days were very short, even at around 8 in the morning it was still as dark as night. In summer, it was pretty hot and days never seemd to end, sometimes nights were as bright as day. Because it's so cold in winter, Russians eat a lot of fat and meat, there's even this dish called salo (сало) which is basically fat. The windows in apartments always had 2 layer glass to keep the heat inside the room. Everyone had really thick coats stored for winter.
