as I walked into the house of books or Russia-France 1:0
there are people - magnets for adventure. they themselves have nothing to do, find their own adventures.
I - just like that. one evening, January 2 I went out for bread, and came back a day after a ... I once went to Moscow for a couple of days, and almost did not stay there forever ... Once I got sick not some decent angina, and malignant tachycardia and in 20 years, underwent complicated heart surgery. Why, even in the hospital, lying on the bed among the old good grandmother, I managed to get into those situations that even a movie shoot. Doctors Respect me so far, calling unforgattable.
little background. as a summer I, faith, and Grisha stood at Haymarket Square. Grisha was drinking beer and use foul language, faith, laughter, and I stood myself quietly and not bothering anyone. dressed completely unnoticed. walked past the man. 'd go and go, I would not have noticed, you never know who's walking. when suddenly he stopped short and began staring at me. staring for a long time, then walked away. then he returned and again began to stare. then began to descend the stairs in the subway ... in the middle of the rose. turned and looked again. man, incidentally, was very adult, 40-45 years, and, as if to say, the Eastern appearance with a sullen and unkind person. what to say, pretty scary! Nevertheless, when my nerves gave way, I cried him to go. He continued to stare, though he had not heard ... then went up to us! I was terribly frightened. and as it turned out too early! then that when he spoke, I realized that it was ready to call the police. continuing to drill me with a look, he turned to Grisha:
-it's your girl?
three of us in shock. silent. Finally, Gregory responds with dignity:
-well, she is with me. what do you want?
man:
-meet you! I can see that it is not your girlfriend!
note, it's all for me I was standing right there, but he was talking about me as if I was not there!
further Grisha cultural advised the peasant to go about his business. man rests and demands. Again, not addressing me. I honestly thought he was going to propose "twenty rams, refrigerator Rosenlew, Finnish, good, honorable letter and a free ticket to Siberia ... in the end, someone from the east was made last Chinese warning and he walked away, continuing look at me. at the same time, the feeling was, that now I will wear a bag over his head and steal. scary endlessly - White Day, the city center!
something we mingled with the crowd and faded. I still received the honorary title "Queen of Uzbeks" (whoever he was, I do not know, but Grisha knows only the Uzbeks). funny and scary. since I did very poorly react to people that are suitable to me on the street. I always try to go faster.
today. After the lecture, Lazarus Izrailevich, which at me frantically shouted and banged on the table with his fist, and then resentfully asked why I was scared, because he's with me "play", I came out of the institution with a heart and give way underfoot. cho do? where to go? Sim dovezla me to Nevsky and more I began to think - where to release tension. can go to the Duma and drink or you can go in and buy a book of diverse literature. but since I do not drink already, even in cases of emergency, and judging that I am one hundred percent of the Duma meeting someone or get acquainted with and not get home today, it was decided to go into the house of the book. quiet and culturally.
wandering the floor, I stopped by the bookshelves Arts and suddenly I heard some bubnezh his left .. look up - is a young guy in a jacket, a hat and glasses, and something tells me with a smile. shy away, for the fifteenth time understand:
-Paarl Wu Français?
well, weird question. Okay would still do yu ACNP Inglish. No, I say, not Paarl.
-Inglish Maybee?
Well I say, Inglish Maybee. immediately forget everything that has taught 10 years in an English school. stand like a sheep. ashamed.
said, I'm Daniel from Marseille. I was here three days. took a taxi has arrived here, a cultural center. where to go, you know?
straining every all the forces, begin to tell him about museums, about rivers and canals, about the tour, fairly fertilizing his poor speech interjections "nuuu" and "eeee" esesna.
there, said to me now like to go? I drink coffee I want to sit down, can eat sushi.
more completely understand why, but we go together (and in fact I have already said that I do not like strangers) in the "two sticks" (the nearest sushi restaurant on the House of Books) and here, in the 15th minute of dialogue, when my English speech is like a telegram, it turns out that this Daniel says in Russian "because it works in tourism, and 4 years at university taught Anliyskogo and Russian. and in Russian, he speaks very fluent even!
Well, I was even cheered, I think, well, like you can rest until the close of the metro and socialize.
we sit down, make an order. He tells why the winter was in Russia, says he has traveled all over Europe, Asia and America. that he and his mother in France, "business" - hiking, spa, massage. summer - high season, many customers, so it can rest only in the winter.
on the 20th minute, I know how old his mother. he loves her. mother to love. his mom likes to relax in America and Mexico. his name - Bon / Benoit / horseradish knows As. He is divorced. his former wife - a slender blonde. She went to Paris. They divorced because she had "no respect". He rents his apartment. He loves to clean. a friend of his emigre Alexander from Vyborg advised to go to St. Petersburg. In Moscow, he was not, but Sasha is not advised to go there. Daniel thinks it's because of football. Marseille also have a football club olimmpik Marseille, they do not like Parisians, because they have a club Paris Saint Germain. they protovostoyanie. in Russian is hard names. Tanya and Tanya - two different names. yet he has a cat. his name is Michelle. I show pictures of a cat on the phone. cigarettes in France cost 5 euros. here - cheap, but very bad. he was Catholic.
my headache.
Daniel asks where I am. I say that out of St. Petersburg. my parents and my cat also from St. Petersburg. They were all born here. my cat name is not Michelle. I do not carry a her photo. the sun shines. Moscow is the capital of Russia.
Daniel asked if I have relatives in Europe.
I say that all my relatives - the Europeans. they were born and live in St. Petersburg.
he says I'm his kid. I not Russian. a bookstore, he thought I was French, and therefore came up, rejoicing that greeted compatriot. I still have fun explaining that I really Russian. He does not believe.
-you have not the Russian's nose. not Russian lips. you have no cheeks (choooo? I have everything in place). you have an oval face is not Russian. You Frenchwoman.
ask as he determines. in the hall where we sit, only the young girls. too far from all schekastye blonde with blue eyes.
says that it can be seen that They are Russian. as for me - no. I dressed like a French woman (and I, incidentally, was in a scarf and your favorite coat, which hsien and Shuya was nicknamed "cover for KAMAZ). here comes a girl in a white coat of unusual design and a black hat with wide brim. I ask, they say, well, she who dressed. as Italian, confidently says Daniel. as donatella Versace (gygy you saw donatellu? is not a compliment, but she is very stylish).
I say that I have more Asian appearance. he argues.
somehow'm taking the conversation in another direction. I ask, that you've been everywhere, tell me what the girls in different countries.
-Italian woman beautiful?
-yes. slender. but Dress tasteless.
-Englishwoman?
-No. blue. blue skin (plucks at his cheek). not white, not black, not red. blue. as a man - know sexuality - know.
-French?
-yes. All slender. Fine. beautiful.
-Germans?
- (makes a wild face) No, no! 20 years - a big belly! Beer! Drink beer! They Oktoberfest! Great! Y I had sex with a German woman - badly, so badly! stomach - no! (cho there they have to have sex with a stomach?) scary!
-Russian?
- (smiles) we have a mom a massage. business. topsail - The sea. Mediterranean Sea. resort. many tourists. a lot of Russian. thick. red cheeks.
say, what we are fat, look around, all skinny sit herring. and to us, said only fat ride. but this beautiful, beautiful. only very similar to each other. the same person.
-Ukrainian woman?
-Ukrainian woman, a prostitute (in a whisper). prostitutes in France - Ukraine.
general in France a lot of Russian. 2 million. two Russian cemetery. Russian love of Cannes, where the main tourists - Russian (yes, it is we read as Ksenia Sobchak there was annealed). Montpellier. Courchevel. blah blah. Five years ago, Monsieur Putin (accent on last syllable) has given Russian immigrants Russian passport. this is so wonderful. it touches it. Russian - good. generous. funny. He has many friends, emigrants from Russia. Sasha from Vyborg. he had on Monday ordered a car and travels to Viborg. look. (Damn, I feel sorry for him, 4 hours shaking at the dead unfamiliar road to see the city that you can see for 20 minutes. Moreover, winter). Russian but a lot of drinking. noise. alcoholics.
between all of these speeches are accompanied by per-minute kiss my hand! My ignition cigarettes (Most to me-not - an insult!) Podlivaniem me Coke in a glass ... very intrusive service, very. ask what you do, all the men are out there, huh?
-yes woman - A flower, thou shall he take care of her! That it always smelled good (o_O) and looked good, I will not believe me? come, look!
-yes, I have something I'm afraid - mumble I'm trying to deprive him of his arm.
all staring at us. me inconvenient. I say supposedly because we are not accepted.
-I have seen - is pressing his lips - in a seaside hotel October-man dress himself, the woman does not help! disrespect, to us so you can not! you must first help the woman, then - himself. so shame! these men do not respect!
short, I never thought I pridetstsa protect Russian men)) is usually something I'm just the opposite)) but I had to. said that we have men, too open woman to the door, give the coat. we have good men. (While talking in front of his eyes are bright image Grisha: Yeah 50 rubles for a beer! ")
then switched for discussion of the laws. we have a weak law. bad. many "korrupton. bribe. France - do not. respect. on the road - 150 Euro for the transition to a red light. if we do not respect the law, we do not respect each other. if I have a red light - I know that someone green. it correctly. is the foundation of civilized society.
how to protect Russian laws, I do not know, so do not protect) only said that you are with our laws come to us in 812 and so it went.
anyway, I was surprised. I thought that all foreigners - a very private, closed, suspicious, quiet. this - exactly the opposite. mischief. loud. gestures. loud comments all in Russian-French-English ... service in two sticks - not so! here in France ashtray change after every cigarette butt. very talkative (((I even listen to tired. asked not accepting he drugs (well, just a suspicion crept in, so very strange). no, do not accept! ever! and does not drink. only beer. four degrees. vodka, brandy - Only alcoholics drink. One day he drank Russian vodka with Perez (pepper vodka), then died two days later. asleep. Cognac in France, only alcoholics drink (a fig currently alcoholics there with them, bourgeois, that I can not believe).
in Russian I do not like. because I have not the Russian's nose and lips. I'm his kid. that's for sure. I either French or Italian (Usually, by the way, all the Russian, he visited France and then lie that it there for the taking of French, and I have all the way around). he offended. Tell the truth. required to show passport. I said that I have with myself ... says go, met their parents o_O. I want to meet them.
and stuff like that. on. I'm a hundred times read that the French-people are very greedy, avaricious. this - on the contrary. strange.
invited to Marseille))) yyyy. flogs as useful go to the house of the book?)
minus - ooooochen tired, I'm so tired ... a feeling that sat with 5letnim child. too open, naive, very different. than we are. said that I was still on the European mentality - Very open. and I'm at the end was quite sluggish, sad gurgling in a glass of Coke and staring out the window.
promised to show him the Pushkin, Pavlovsk, Peterhof. I do not know as a stand, oooochen difficult to communicate. alas, but we're really very uneven. we - and they are. they are somehow not so constituted. are correct. boring. slightly boring. Although nice, but how long it difficult to tolerate.
so dear russian guys, you do nothing else. funny and cool. Although dunce:)
ps: in Marseille, I still go ))))) accidental Recently, I think just about travel. that's what it means to want something - it is executed without the slightest effort)
pps: sorry, that post is stylistically not sustained, but I just wanted to share. tired - tin)
pps: now in Marseilles +16)))
