Sergey took me to lunch at the same place where we had the guys birthday celebration. They have a buffet at lunch. Good stuff.

We went to the (Красная Горка) Red Mountain Coal Mine Museum. The city of Kemerovo was created because of the rich coal and iron deposits here. There were apparently a bunch of mining experts hired to come settle here from the U.S. back in the 1920s back before the cold war. We also walked around to several monuments to miners in the area, and to the top of the mountain. The giant КУЗБАСС sign pictured above is "Kuzbass", the name of the region where Kemerovo is located. THis si kind of liek the Hollywood sign in LA.
