Bulk Pink Jelly Bracelets

A little 'scenario ... First






As I said, what are really small spaces that I visited this very extensive Federation .. about 60 km each day by bus, round trip in the evening, almost always, an exit for the city, without ever understanding the way down which way we were shot ..

But some frames will remain in my mind: I tried to ask whether it was appropriate because it is often said of Eastern Europe in general - perhaps more so than before, but never completely correct - that "are back" .. "How to us after the war" .. but the fact remains that Italy has never really got to thinking - we want to call it Communist - so indelibly marked by widespread and all-encompassing landscape, urban planning, culture, lifestyle, customs ..


And that will never change, even if some things here are not back, even if the malls are very similar to ours, although the expiration date on foods is not binding on the market, even If you still can smoke on the premises, even if the insulation of the structures do not know what it is, with some beautiful little house made of wood, even if the asbestos is virtually everywhere .. does not matter, are the traces of a story .. I tried to read it now and tell it ..

Sure, you can see around a lot of new development, a principle of care of the gardens, urban spaces that we did not understand if it had been prepared for the occasion or simply to be in place by the summer, you see many palaces left unfinished .. and this gives a sense of passage, but also to "suspend" .. Perhaps this culture has not yet sent your way to new roads, but I think the are looking for ...

Perhaps the photos do not do at all, here they are anyway ..

accommodation: the "clinical"



As I said, we knew we needed to stay at the hotel Tatarstan, Naberezhnye Chelny in, but we noticed immediately was taken to another place .. to understand written in Cyrillic then it took us a couple of days .. said "amnesty" ...



For the rest it was not even the worst that we expected .. apart from a bit 'of depression to the extreme simplicity of everything and even more for the "guests" who occasionally saw around the hotel .. every night, apart from the rites of the mosque in front of the "clinic" was a little piano bar and a strange variety of people dancing, from smooth to drive, old, young ..
but there was a feeling of "Absurd" ..

No air conditioning, beds, spring mattresses, plumbing bathtub enameled on sight .. so you fix it more simply ... But there was a fridge in the room, television and bed linen and towels were changed there after two days ..
In the lobby there was a wireless connection, hard to set up, but quietly worked ..
The worst thing was the breakfast, but again maybe it's just a cultural issue .. I just can not eat pies with vegetables and garlic sausage in the early morning.

Here are a couple of photos of the place ...

Russia, July 28 - August 6, 2010 Oscar


Yes, I finally managed to visit a country that I was always intrigued, of which I did not know what to expect .. I understand and not be simple to describe, not only for its contradictions, but because of its specificity so "far" from adjectives also commonly assigned to it in our culture ..
Citations in parentheses below are mostly taken from wikipedia.
must be said, first, that I have seen a small part: landed at the airport of Kazan (capital of Tatarstan and one of the largest cities of Russia. It is an important commercial, industrial and cultural heritage, and remains the most important site Tatar culture. It is located at the confluence of the Volga Kazanka in central European Russia .. is almost 800km from Moscow), I moved with a sports delegation representative in Italy Menzelinsk (also known as or Minzala Minzele, is a city in Russia located in the Autonomous Republic of Tatarstan. Founded on the banks of Menzelja in 1584 - 1586, obtained city status in 1781 and is 'the capital of Menzelinskij Rajon, served from Menzelinsk. The town, which lies 292 km east of Kazan', has an ethnic composition consists of a 49.3% 46.8% of Russians and Tatars. Muslim majority).
Menzelinsk In reality I have only seen the airport: Accommodation in Naberznye Celny (it is an industrial city east of European Russia, situated on the river Kama in the Autonomous Republic of Tatarstan, 225 km east of the capital Kazan) .. and here begins the "funny", put it this way.
The sports body that handled the arrangements for the delegation knew we would have stayed at the Hotel Tataarstan (nothing to do with our hotels, but a hotel ..) but with a large group of other delegations (English, Finnish, French , U.S., etc. ...) we have arranged in a beautiful "clinic", translated as the organization's people - mostly young, female students of language or other students, and all women - one of the few places available to speak in English with us.
arrived on site - with minimal knowledge of Cyrillic learned in internet snooping rather than preparatory study - the sign was translated literally as "amnesty"!
Who knows who had made the tip-off that was the right place for us!
Seriously .. was rather sad and depressing time .. beginning we have been among us, various sports delegations which had already encountered in other parts of the world for the same purpose and were happy to be there again.
Then, in subsequent days, we started to notice the "sick", the elderly, but also children with bandages strange, strange scars, especially on the behavior a bit 'abnormal .. and despite the music being played every night on our return to the the property, and perhaps for those couples odd and inappropriate for children here as they danced out of time, every time we caught more of an impression of sadness and abandonment to the limit of human ...
But we lived to be almost all "guests", apart from the water bottles in the clinic seemed to be altered with something incomprehensible to us (and therefore was carefully avoided) and a breakfast with these improvised nurse-maids who were trying to foist strange mess vegetables, meat and fish every time more understandable and above all really non-edible, at least for breakfast!
Percival, was the milk - "Moloch" - and even coffee! white and brown bread, and then, just whining and get along!
I decided to tell some day so spread, indicating in particular the things that struck me, what I saw in the daily journey by bus from the "clinical" Menzelinsk airport, seen from the bus for an hour every morning and every evening We rocked up to the back roads than perfect, full of cars, trucks and unspeakable means, but certainly without a catalyst! I prefer to tell
attach photos, even though not everything has been photographed .. just because I really can not find the right words, sums up .. is not a country that was "old style" one country, or just "sad", "poor" is not even true ..
is really just "away", especially from what usually surrounds us ..
course, sometimes we want, sometimes you may want to change seats to let dangle, as well as the body, the mind ...
can be helpful, instructive, and for that I would not forget ..
(to be continued)
Photo: The mosque in front of the clinic that morning and evening raised its dirges to the sky ..
I failed to get in ... for now ..
but there's another week ...
