Though my wife tried to find souvenir, she said "Almost all of the goods displayed in this store are out of date."
Then, we chose Vietnamese restaurant as the place for lunch(breakfast?). All of the food served to us tasted good and similar to the one served in Vietnam.
We boarded Vladivostok tram bound for Sakhalinskaya.
