I picked this out of another email from Ben visiting a part Russian wing of his family in Nepal:
As usual, conversation was about two-thirds Russian, one-third English. And my vocab's picking up again -- I had forgotten that draft beer was "razlivnoe pivo." (Alas, they were out -- the Maoists had halted the shipment of kegs. Those bastards! -- that was the last straw: disrupting our beer supply...)
