Here with Mischa. A guy from the Russian army I found out.
No word of english but in the end I had a good laugh with him. This was especially caused by an encounter with police officers on the train who wanted me to pay a fine because I was drinking the illigal substance 'vodka' :-O
Luckily Mischa, and Yuri (below) could use their influence to let the police not only return my passport but also my vodka bottle without a fine.....The bottle of vodka, of course, was consumed with these two army guys. Gotta love m!! |

One of the many other Russians I met. As soon as you can tell them in Russian that you're a tourist and travelling around the world they point at their throat, meaning; wanna have a drink?
And yes, I have had many drinks.... |
