«In Makhachkala, the post I was stopped by a young lieutenant. I was on chayzere sports. He twisted my documents, twisted, three times studied. I say: "all over the country traveled, fellow countryman, Mr. e to what dokapatsya. Fire extinguisher is, two kits ... » And he told me" Well, at least a hundred rubles writing, all tuhumom (originally) twelve thousand dollars was collected, so I stood there. "

As it so happened that I was tied geographically to the Far East. Even to start a business, did not have to travel far - China "backyard". Travel in Poland have been only exception that proves the rule. Opened limits for cars and the car I afford to buy again in Vladivostok and Nakhodka.

always dreamed of visiting the Caucasus, moreover, is tied with Georgia not particularly targeting, what else is there of the republic. Stills from the film "The Shepherd and the Pig", shot high in the mountains, crashed into a memory, sometimes excites my imagination.
