Lots of orthodox Christians. I just get stared at when I wear trousers. And in the village itself there are actually a lot of loitering youths and stuff.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeen at it for 41 years trying to keep the hall and stairwell of my flat at least somewhat hygienic, with no cooperation from fellow residents and also not from the housing corporation, now almost 73 and tired of fighting, longing for a solution, so much want to spend the years I have left with living pleasure………
