Russian Standard,
a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. For me, McFabulous, this meant going on a trip to the United States of Russia.
The trip, consisting of 25 students from different Swedish universities and our bus driver, first made stop in Helsinki, Finland.
Since this report is mostly about Russia, here only some adjectives and substantives connected to the city:
sunny, cold, ferry, cathedral, hotel, sauna, good, finish, walk, frozen, hot, sea
You are almost unlimited in the way you can put these words together to get an idea of Helsinki. However, some sentences obviously make more sense than others, e.g. "the sea was frozen and it was cold, but the finish sauna in the hotel was hot" vs. "there was a cathedral in the sunny sauna which was frozen". I think you got the point!
2nd day: Crossing the Border
On the way to the Russian border we passed a lot of trucks standing beside the road and waiting to pass. According to our bus driver the "waiting line" sometimes is longer than 40 kilometers and it takes several days to pass the border.
We had to show our passports several times but everything went right. At least so far, but one of our group members was stupid enough to take a picture (which is illegal of course). He was shot immediately. As we hadn't known him so well the situation was not that sad and so we left his body behind.
A few kilometers after the border our driver began writing and receiving sms busy as a bee. After some time a car which was heading towards us made a u-turn in front of us. We followed the car to the next parking area. Coincidently the man had some cigarettes and alcohol and we had the necessary mediums of exchange...
Finally we arrived in St.Petersburg. Passports to the hotel reception who had to register them (confirm that we are really staying at their hotel). For your information, entering Russia is only possible by having an invitation (whether from some Russians or by booking a hotel).
After drinking a vodka in the hotel's nightclub we finally went to bed. The next days I will tell you about our first experiences in St. Petersburg and the barbarous, hence very interesting, spectacle of an execution of two group members...
See you soon,
Fabian
