There's a good chance i`ll be spending a few weeks in Perm in late September...i`ll definately be passing through there and staying for 1 night; but its looking likely i`ll be staying longer for volunteer work(3 or so weeks).

So...whats the city like!?
I`ve heard it to be a pretty bleak city?Is it rough?
I guess very little english is spoken there?
Whats the weather like in september/october?Will the cold be creeping in then?

Any insights/info greatly appreciated!
