Christmas and New Year's

We enjoyed our relaxing stay in Yuzhno for the Christmas and New Year's holidays this year. We had a white Christmas, of course!

  1. Dear Carolyn,
    I am the wife of an XOM employee and my husband just came home and told me that there is a good chance we will be moving to Sakhalin within the next year or so. We have 2 children, currently aged 6 years and 3.5 years. I found your blog when I googled 'Sakhalin Olympia Compound'. We've been on 2 previous expat assignments in the past (we currently are in the Houston-area). I was wondering if you may be able to correspond with me on some questions I have about Olympia and life in Yusno/Olympia? My email is jennym412@hotmail.com and my blog is connorinitaly.blogspot.com (sorry I haven't updated it since the summer! I really have to be better about that)...
    Thank you!
    Jennifer B.
