Russian curiosity shop

Sunday, October 3, 2021

Welcoming post

We welcome you on the pages of our Curiosity Shop.
It is created by the Russian language center in Hong Kong in order to help you to learn more about Russia and Russian culture.

What do we offer?
We offer you to learn and choose interesting things about Russia - books, DVD, CD with Russian music, Russian deli, crafts and so on.

How do we offer it?
We tell you about interesting stuff here in our blog. Then as you choose something and pay, we'd order it in Russia and pass it to you.

What if you doubt what to choose?
We organize the FAIR of the Curiosity shop in the Russian language center, where you can enjoy the variety of books, crafts or deli and buy it there. But you may first order it and then find it in the FAIR - in this case you will get it for sure.

How do you pay?
You pay by cash directly to the Russian language center or through the PayPal (for this purpose you should send the order to the e-mail below and then you will receive the invoice to your e-mail).
To get your stuff, you may come to the office of the Russian Language Center and take it or you may pay for the courier and receive it directly at home.

If you come and feel that don't like your stuff (and the reason is serious) we will return money to you.

For any enquiries, please contact epingle@rambler.ru

Zephyr is known may years, it was first cooked and popular in ancient Greece, where it received its name from the god Zephyr who, according to mythology, gave this recipe to people.
