I don’t feel like this blog has been telling the full story of the people we have met here in Russia. With the stories we have I know that when we get back and tell you all the details you won’t believe us, so here a little run down of the lovely to the scary!
Firstly the Panovs, this family are genuinely the nicest people on earth, but if we spend too much more time with them we will die from over eating! Every time they place huge plates of food in front of us demanding eat eat! I am also quite worried about the volume of vodka involved on tomorrow’s goodbye drinks! I may return to England very very inebriated.
Now the bars. As some of you may be aware I (Scott by the way) am not the quietest person on the planet, particularly when fueled by alcohol. This has resulted in a lot of people talking to us in bars, some have been very dull, one old lady who bore a striking resemblance to camilla Parker Bowles who was intent on having her way with one of us, either one she wasn’t fussy! This led to us learning Russia’s very worst swear word, which we had to vow never to use again, and promptly forgot! Luckily I videoed it for future reference!
Finally let me tell you a little more about the giant, didn’t believe us? Check out the photo, and I’m on tip toe. He came over to sit with us, then in his booming voice demanded that we sing to him by slamming his hand on the table and shouting YOU SING. Picture if you will mike and I crying with laughter (or perhaps fear) singing my heart will go on to a massive Russian who clearly loves every second! Then he demanded we dance, tell all the girls (or VOMAN as he preferred) that he was English. Seriously dude, it’s gonna take more than a couple of drunk blokes to convince them you’re English.
And then last night we met a couple of self professed football hooligans with a heartfelt hatred of the USA, check out the tattoo. They loved us however, and much beer was consumed in celebration of the fact that we were not getting stabbed! Yey!
So off into Moscow to see who else we can meet. Bye! S.
