We are nearing Novosibirsk

Known as Chicago of Siberia, I think it is because of the concentration of Irish pubs. Lots to do here:

Take a selfie as you cross the Bugrinsky Bridge

Must see:

Have a Guinness in an Irish Pub

I will get into details from those links Charlies1, I didn't know that there were such a concentration of Irish pubs in that southern Siberan city of Novosibirsk, very interesting.

I am still enjoying the COGH Challenge, up to today I have ran 35 Km and walked 150 Km, my longer walks tend to be on a Sunday morning.

Do they have indoor service? Social distancing? Compulsory masks? Jab passports? Nitrogen or carbon dioxide in the Guinness? Sorry for all these questions but itโ€™s a long way to run ๐Ÿ˜‹

Hi HeavyFoot, It seems masks are compulsory, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs perform regular raids to check compliance!

In accordance with the current version of the document, on the territory of the Novosibirsk region, it is mandatory to observe the mask regime by all those working at enterprises and organizations of any organizational and legal form. It is instructed not to allow citizens who do not comply with the mask regime into the premises, into another territory for carrying out activities, into the vehicle, and in case of violation of the mask regime by a citizen, stop servicing it (refuse service). Also, a mask mode is provided for spectators of theaters, cinemas, concert organizations.

New violators of the high alert regime were identified among tenants of shopping centers and shops during 83 raids held by the regional Ministry of Industry and Trade together with the Rospotrebnadzor Administration for the Novosibirsk Region and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Novosibirsk.

Thanks very much for all the detail. I think Iโ€™ll give it a miss then. Iโ€™ll sit in the garden and practise my minimal Russian!
