How Much For A Large Bottle Of Patron

Russian peculiarities

At this point I would like to get rid of a few observations about Russia's characteristics. I have been told, that there is no sort of time tables. One wonders by itself, is at the bus stop and just wait until the bus arrives. What is also funny: Here in Krasnoyarsk you pay for going out and not when boarding. So you can take bus as long as you want, but if you want out, you have to pay. Many bus lines are now organized in private hands. This can be seen, for example, because they do not allow pensioners free bus ride more! Lena, my boss from Interra erzehlt me that she is very happy about the private initiatives, as well the earlier Situaion was disastrous: overcrowded buses that often enough. On the one hand, here in Russia much disorganized, but other things more spasmodic. A Example: You would like a copy. You go to a copy shop and tells the employees what and how you would like a copy. He then copied the stuff and show it to an. Then you say ok (or even appropriate). Then he says how much it costs. Then you go to another room to the checkout. You pay, you go with the receipt back to the employees in the other room. He looks at the receipt and then you finally get the copies. You can imagine how much time does the claim, if everywhere is a queue of people. What is needed then six copies, if you only have an employee who is entitled to make copies, I really wonder. Interestingly, here is the water from the crane no good with the one thrifty has to deal: It holds the dirty dishes just so long under the running water until it is clean! Also seems to be an EIS survive a necessary food, ice cream man are on every street corner is delicious and not expensive (around 30 cents).
