Passion For Russian

IKEA

“IKEA delivers”. 

Once again, I love seeing brands I recognize translated into Russian. See more of these on my Cyrillicized Tumblr. (And feel free to send me submissions there as well!)

Carl’s Junior

Another attraction at Sennaya Ploshchad!

I thought it was weird that they’d have a Carl’s Junior in Russia. I’ve never actually seen one in the States - I think it’s a west coast thing.

Anyone ever eaten at a Carl’s Junior?…in Russia? (I haven’t.)

Subway - take it with you!

And here’s a better shot of the Subway Trailor you can just catch a glimpse of in the ‘Watermelon Cage’ post.

Yet another thing in Russia I found odd: a pull-behind trailer that they sell Subway out of it. I guess it makes sense. It’s the kind of thing they might sell hotdogs or ice cream out of here.

And don’t forget! Today is your last chance to enter to win “First 1000 Words in Russian”. Don’t forget to enter. And I’ve already got an exciting prize picked out for next month’s giveaway, so stay tuned for that!

 ”Makdonalds” on one of the side streets off Nevsky. For the record I did not eat here. (But I did eat at TGIFriday’s. I broke down.)

Subway/Сабвэй

I am finally going to start posting photos from my Russia trip this summer. It’s much later than I intended to, but maybe the sunshiny pics will remind us all that it will be warm again.

I’ll start with one of my favorite things: English brands written in Cyrillic. I love how they still manage to force in the trademark arrows on the logo - even on the round ”C”.

This one is located on Nevsky Prospect, St. Petersburg. (And by the way - I didn’t eat there.)
