    I Spy with My Slavic Eye

    A woman spruced up at the grocery store, a couple eating a stick of калбаса at the beach, a determined man working on a car in his driveway - these are just a few of the many scenes you can observe if you pay close enough attention. Today we're talking about that innate sense of familiarity when a Slavic person sees a fellow Eastern European in public. Is there really an ethnic "sixth sense" that Slavic people share in common, or are a few of us just really good at guessing? Join us to find out!  p.s - stick around to hear a special testimony of what life with a notorious RBF is like.
