Как я бухала в Ярославле

[peacetraveler22]

The long road trip in Russia is now over. I just returned to Moscow this afternoon from Yaroslavl, where I finally met a Russian boyfriend, who spoke almost no English! :)) He came to our table, sat down, started petting my hair, blowing me kisses and trying to have a lot of conversation over coconut beer. Each trip, it's necessary to explore the local bars for one night, and one night only. It started at a basic pub, and then onward to a Soviet style kitchen, with a unique feature!

1. An old school telephone at the table. My hosts told me to dial a number and place an order to the kitchen. Ring, ring...no answer. Maybe they were just playing games with me. :) It was hard to tell after so many vodka shots.



2. Basically, Yaroslavl can be summed up in one photo. I'm usually getting drunk once a year, and it somehow always happens in Russia. It isn't necessary to touch alcohol again for a very long time. Thanks to Olga, Ilya, lovigin and macos for the local hospitality! And special thanks to Timur for showing me some sights in Yaroslavl.





Now I sit in Moscow for only a few hours, and will board the night train to Kazan this evening. This time, I'll travel third class, and maybe meet some interesting bunk mates. When I took the long train ride from Moscow to Adler last year for the Olympics, I was in a first class cabin, with someone I knew. Now, a solo adventure on Russian Railways. If I have readers in Kazan who have a car, and free time, please write in comments or send me a message. I really want to get out of city center and especially meet an authentic Tatar family who is willing to speak with me and be photographed. Of course, I need someone who can speak English and translate because my Russian is very, very bad!

In will be in Kazan all day Thursday and Friday. What is there to see and do, besides churches??

It was only temporary. :)) Eventually I made it to the bed!!

I drank yorsh, but in the USA. :) At a Russian house party.

Мадам, что за стиль, что за выражения? Что значит "бухала"?

You are right. Looks disgusting from artistic point of view , looks stupid from ethical point of view and is of very low quality from linguistic point of view.))

[peacetraveler22.livejournal.com]

The post is humorous, light-hearted and fun. The phrase is commonly used by Russians of all class levels. I don't see any problem with it.

How did you find yourself lying on the floor?

In the first photo, it is for the first time I saw you smile for real. Nice smile. Usually, your smile looks somehow unnatural, forced.
What's up with that cap? I saw you wear it indoors in the photo with macos and alexcheban when you had dinner with them in the US. Why do you wear it indoors? I'm under the impression that it is quite common to wear headwear indoors in the US, while it is rarely done in Russia. What do you think?

[peacetraveler22.livejournal.com]

They are different hats. :) A bear hat and a normal black hat in the picture with Alex Cheban. Do you see how wild and crazy my curly hair is in the first photo? I wear hats to cover it because it's impossible to control my hair in windy, snowy Russia. Plus, I just like hats and they suit my face well. :)) It is common to wear hats indoors in USA, even in restaurants (for instance men wear baseball caps in summer). Thanks for the compliment about smile!

I passed out for a short nap on the way to the bed. :)

"Ethical point of view"?? My Russian friends use this phrase frequently.

[badbeef.pip.verisignlabs.com (from livejournal.com)]

I'd say there is nothing wild and crazy about your hair. It looks quite natural (even if dyed), strong and voluminous. I have no idea why do you think it needs "control".
Hats that cover your forehead shorten your face visually. You look much better without them.

Not everybody uses it. It is rude expression, used mostly by young people in colloquial speech. Don't use it with people, whom you don't know well (they might get wrong impression about you).

Potato yield is quite high.

In not too good conditions you may get about 0.5-1 tonne from 4 ares. More than enough just for consumption. In good conditions industrial-like farm will produce like 2-3 tonnes.

И че? Вы до хрена моральные в своей пиндосии? Разжигаете войны по всему миру, не считаетесь с потерями гражданских при проведении операций, да много у вас грехов. Вам всей страной надо так делать, как вы увидели

there is a lot of people here in Russia around you who hates you...Sad but true...

Вот это и есть антироссийская пропаганда и пиздешь.
This is anti-russian propaganda and outrageous lie.

But there are polls and stat.info...

Pretty brave alright. I dont know too many people from the west that travel to Russia recreationally more than once. Especially now. Good work, quite impressive.

Have you been to Tuva? It'd be extreme too...

Yaroslavl - nice city, but you should come here in summer. So you can ride on the little boat, like water bus =)
Sorry for my english =)
