  • It’s not that fantastical, it’s resembles a small town and has aboveground buildings as well. The underground dwellings are mostly rented to tourists nowadays.

    Few things I remember from there around ~10 years ago:

    Coober Pedy literally means ‘White Man’s Warrens’ in Aborogeni.

    You have yo register your ID to buy alcohol and are limited to 2 beers/1 spirit per day because the aborogenies keep getting tourists to buy them hooch.

    The 1st part pf the Vin Disel Riddick Epic ‘Pitch Black’ was filmed there and the full size spaceship prop is still in place.









  • A few corrections for my comtards;

    I don’t remember any fruit trees in my Хрущёвка growing up.

    Alao, you could request a bigger apartment, but as my grandma was fond of saying, ‘you can write ‘cock’ on a fence, it would still be wood’ (something may have been lost in translation). The majority of families were living 3-4 generations in a one bedroom apartment with an indefinite wait to upgrade.

    You sad fucks living 3-8 roomates deep with no cars and no money left over between bills are already living the communist experience, leave the rest of us out of it.
