A view of the village from above

Last weekend, I visited the village of Burbashsky Sardygan, which is about 120 kilometers from Kazan. In the summer, I posted a video about this place on my YouTube channel, where I walked through the most beautiful spots. This time, I decided to walk the same paths again and also collect fresh water from the local spring, "Nurzida," since I only drink water. The walk was nice, and the nature was just as beautiful as before. You can watch the summer video at the link.

Temperature and humidity

Last night, the temperature in my apartment dropped to 21 degrees. Outside, it was 11-13 degrees, and since there is no heating in the apartment, I could feel the cold creeping in through every crack. Although 21 degrees is still a fairly comfortable temperature for sleeping, I felt noticeably colder than usual.
