Despite all ... Ivan Bunin Although we have been preparing not only financially but also morally right that we fly to Russia, it was sometimes difficult to remain always cool. This one brings all of the socket, and you have to really try to not get upset. The very first experience at the airport was enough. No one knew where to go should, and there were no signs. But there was an escalator that was broken, and a rough airport employee, who could not say, as passengers were able to come up with the strollers up the stairs.
Welcome! You're home :-)
But how eagerly and with what pleasure I breathed in the air love home! When we came out of the airport, the dawn had risen long ago, a cooling breeze moved through the air. Instinctively I got a saying to mind: "One can imagine the mother and the home not choose." And that is true. I can say even more: they can never cease to love ... Despite all ...
On the same day we were cleaning us out and drove to a supermarket. Before my mother went home, she asked if we needed some money.
"No," - bold and brave, I replied, - "We move the money somewhere"
But that was my mistake. On Sunday there are only in the center an opportunity to change money. But to get there, one needs Money.
Although I had in my pocket more than 300 €, we dragged ourselves home on foot and looked enviously at oncoming who ate ice and drank a cold Coke.
The next day we decided to drive us to the relatives of my husband in Siberia. A second class train ticket cost 30 € per person This is a sleeping car, where there are no internal doors and all Ca. 60 guests drive quasi carriers together in one room and sleep next to each other. In the summer it's like a puma cage. All odors - Three-days of unwashed socks, food, sweat, cigarettes, Alkochol - together form a special type of fragrance. In addition, there unbearable heat, snoring, children cry, the eternal serpent ergammelte stinking toilet, unfriendly - or better to say - lack of service and social besoffebe neighbors who are always yearning for entertainment. Here, you do not trouble. Since all go anyway, can we sometimes go to a ... :-)
is referred to as travel romance. I must admit: you me is still unknown. As
but we are joined, came to a conductor from the 1st class. Since there are lockable compartments and it is quieter. Moreover, it is clean and you can only travel in pairs. The man has proposed to drive us in his car, but we had to pay 10 € extra per person. We took time to think about that. After five minutes I've been trying to find the man. I kloppte gently at the door of the attendant, while I thought he was there. But since opened another half-naked fellow the door. I started to stammer out to: "prove to me the favor ..." The woman bared her teeth, swelled to the nostrils, opened his eyes and cursed me all they were worth ... If I
this woman - our train conductor by the way - had not met, we would be left in the second grade. As our Saviour came, we immediately moved. So we lured the man over to him. Of course the whole thing is illegal. How does it work? Daaas I erklääääääre you! :-) As
the railway employees earn so little (about 180 € per 6-day trip), they have no more fears and try way to make money to survive. And if it still places left in a 1st class cars are hitting the people in front of the guests who had bought cheap tickets, cheap to travel in 1st class. If they find some, then buy them off at the conductor. Thus, our savior has paid about 3 € for both of us. We have about 25 € to pay him. Everyone has had something like this :-) How
it turns out, there was a ride no more places available for us. As his colleague had found other eager guests. Thus, the employees have "borrowed" their own compartment. I asked them: "But when you sleep now?". She smiled at me a lot of important and replied: "You do not even know." It did me any harm to them.
When we made it our comfortable, I felt a strange smell and I heard a noise not previously known. We were not alone! Under my bed in a cage went with an exotic creature. It crept into the corner, pressed into it and probably abused. We could not tell what it was, but in any case, it ate insects. In a transparent box next to the cage-like rieseige we found disgusting cockroaches. And our present animal was the same. Since there also were riding illegally.
the 4 days in the country in the relatives were relaxing. Only if the weather would have played ... We went fishing almost every day and have washed in a Russian banya. The vanity of the great World seemed to be missing there. Es war sehr ruhig und schön.
Since my husband had no driver's license there, I went with the Lada Niva from the year 1986. The police have of course stopped and let themselves get the necessary papers show. An international driving license for the first time she saw him first and looked exactly ... But they have not punished but what made us great joy.
When we wanted to buy tickets for the return trip to Ekaterinburg was also sweet and funny. A saleswoman could not type in the passport number of my husband, because she did not know how the writing of kuryllisch switches to English. Therefore, she wore a visa number - there was no Latin letters, only numbers.
That is, if by land and one can not expect that people are so intelligent. Although ... The aunt of my husband has won a national teachers competition, it is one of the best teachers in Russia. The price was 100 000 rubles. In order to earn a sum that they had to work more than 14 months. The aunt told Olga
us about life on the land in Siberia. Prevails loss of eternal bliss. They say that accesses the life that tackles everywhere. And little luck flowers between the sand and rock are so rare and small that you can hardly stand without help. Therefore "must" from time to time people take to the bottle. Man is always looking for the easiest way ... Almost all the country people drink. The villages are dying.
In the school where she teaches to lie, everyone: the fake accounts and say that all students well are that it is not a single school, which is repeated a class. In reality, today's children are not as good ...
injustice is everywhere: the Alkocholiker who have spent their entire lives in a frenzy, two times get higher rent than those who have worked properly. A cleaning woman at a factory earns two times more than Aunt Olga, is the most highly qualified teacher.
interesting are the neighbors of Aunt Olga. Three years ago they adopted 8 children and got a lot of money. After a year, but they have the Children given, money was gone. Immediately thereafter, the business-addicted neighbors have bought foreign cows that produce lots of milk. In addition there was a capital city by the government. The poor cows were not long, the family members ...
If you ever long the rich natural width of Russia (or in the case of Siberia) are considered, you start thinking: how can such a rich country are so poor and everything to waste? The disorder and anarchy prevailing everywhere (especially in the minds) of people make it lighter feasible. And I'm so sorry!
On the second night in Russia, we went for a walk with my husband. A fresh evening air of my home town was so sweet and so loving ... A sense of freedom flowed like a sweet wine to the soul. There is also a kind of utopia. But it pays Russia to love, to dream of it, to long for him. Despite all ...
How can you say not choose the home. So I love my Russia as a mad crush on girls. So I often dream of how we finally got together . Fly home In spite of everything!
