Back again and not much has changed. The buildings are still gray. People still dress like they’re corpses. Alcohol is still cheaper than food. The pollution is extremely evident with every breath you take. People still can’t speak English. I’m still drunk. It’s still too hot inside. It’s still too cold outside. All the kiosks are still in the same places they were two years ago. All the kiosks still sell the same shit they did two years ago. The dismal-pessimistic-despair expressions on people’s faces haven’t changed.
What has changed? The economy’s worse. Vimpelkom’s office looks a lot better. The average male life expectancy is probably lower. I’m at a different hotel.
