The Apartment Building That Just Kept Going

In Ukraine sits a residential building so long it feels more like a neighborhood than an address, nearly three kilometers of apartments housing more than 10,000 people. Built during the Soviet era, it took over a decade to complete, which already tells you this was no modest undertaking. The goal was efficiency and scale, and by those measures, it delivered. Still, there’s something quietly amusing about a structure that solved housing by simply refusing to stop. Sometimes ambition wins; sometimes it just keeps extending down the block.

An American woman who moved to the UK discovered that international relocation isn’t always about accents or adapters, sometimes it’s about pillows. After hauling her bedding across the Atlantic, she learned British pillows are larger, making her carefully packed linens mostly useless. It’s a small detail, but one that managed to upend her sense of preparation. The lesson here is simple: culture shock doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Occasionally, it’s waiting for you at bedtime.

If any of this made you pause, chuckle, or quietly rethink your own assumptions, you’re not alone. Tomorrow will bring more proof that the world remains… inventive. Until then. — Doug
