Lilac Sky

In the country we have very different people. I am really fond of speaking with them. I'd like to tell you some stories.

Once I went to the South of our country for about two days and in the same train there was a couple of old people. The man was about 70 years old, looked very intelligent. He reminded me Paolo Koelho - i mean appearance. His wife looked a little bit older but she also looked very nice. I had a good impression because retired people in our country usually have rather bad life. And that's a big problem.

So, they told me about the last 18 years of their life. At first they worked on the factory that was connected with developing smth and they mustn't go abroad (because of USSR and a secret job). But 18 years ago they both retired and started to travel. They visited all Europe and made for as a detaled way with explaining all about hotels, prices, places of interest. I was really impressed by their memory. They were really alive!

Then, when we were in the Russian Museum in St-Petersburg, we have met a veteran of the Second World War. He told us about one picture, then about a painter. I knew from hum a lot more than from the guide.

But we have one more side of life and it is very unpleasant. We have a lot of young people who drink a lot of alcohol, who smokes a lot. But  the situation becomes better and better. Now it is in fashion to go in for sports, to have different hobbies. 

So, everything is for your view, but i really love my country with all its negative and positive moments
