Author: D K Powell

British freelance journalist, author, writer, editor, musician, educational consultant. I lived with Wifey, Thing I (daughter) & Thing II (son) in Bangladesh for 5-6 years working for an NGO called LAMB. Wifey led the Hospital Rehab department and I used to teach O levels at the school before going full-time as a freelance writer in 2013. Now we're back in the UK learning how to be British again. When not writing or editing, I'm busy trying to complete a Masters degree in Intercultural relations in Asian Contexts and reading way too many books at once. I also drink tea - lots of it.

Notice: How to navigate “Life in Russia”

Recently I decided it was time to make it easier to navigate "Life in Russia". When you enter any page on my blog (listed above) you will have the ability to find all the posts related to this page at the bottom of each section. Currently all the Fairy Tales are referenced on their page and well as Proverbs, Sayings, and idioms. The others are still under construction but hopefully ready soon. Thanks for your patience as I continue to improve the way you can access posts.
