morning in almaty

since we arrived in almaty 2 days ago, i've been helping mrs. noz and noz jr. get set up in an apartment here. it's a temporary thing. hopefully they will be here less than 2 weeks after i leave. it is very modern and furnished (about as un-taraz as you can get). there are also all these little signs in russian taped to the wall all over the place.

this morning i bit the bullet and finally typed the one closest to where i was sitting into google translate. here is what it says:

ladies and gentlemen, a big request! Do not wave your hands is a very expensive chandeliers. Thank you in advance.

there's nothing in here remotely like a chandalier. maybe they just mean the lights? are people waving their hands at the light fixtures a major problem?
