Yakutsk tone. Yakutsk is sinking and nobody is surprised. Inhabitants of grace bypass a puddle the size of small lakes, and cars with a vengeance in August did not pierce through, splashing around the water fountain. Kaluza have different depth. When one of them suddenly popped into my leg to the ankle, did not try to see how deep it is on. The puddles can see the bottom, because they are muddy. Because not only water but mud is everywhere - literally! Are sidewalks and muddy roads, buildings are muddy, the air rises brownish dust. Car even longer one does not wash - do not make sense, ride any street, if only for just a km, will return to its original state. Everything should permafrost, which in the summer in flight tens Be hundred centimeters from the surface of earth, however, impervious to water. This then becomes a rally at the muddy, water saturated soil layer.
Cars. Wiekszasc it recently, "Prignano" from Vladivostok to Japan's shoddy - there detached piece of the bumper, there is some indentation ... Wheels in May on the right. Of course there are still plenty of Soviet nizazniszczalnych cars, but given the thrust of the new were in minority. Therefore, we are dealing with this paradox: Most cars have steering wheels on the right side (Japanese, Korean), and the traffic is left-handed ...
But what these blocks on piles and puddles slowly get used to it. Oh, Yakutsk is not really a place to practice najszczesliwesze civilization - the winter lasts from October to June (when we celebrate summer solstice, they celebrated the end of winter), and in winter at -40 degrees everything still works, but sometimes a lot of days of -55 degrees in the summer as it was 42 ... Here are more interesting people. Let's start
Yegor (in the most popular English transcription of "Egora"). The guy had just finished 24 years. He has been at creating websites - instantly connects two of its biggest hobby: journalism and webmastering (web development). He lives with his mother (we all talk on her babushka) and the Pieta, the son of deceased sister, in one of those seedy, almost only strength of will still existing Soviet blocks. Babushka sips, because dogs zagryzly her daughter. Petya suffers from a lack of sufficient care - I saw it on the start of school. Other kids raged, and Petya sat quietly in the pew ... Despite this, Yegor
gives some sort of advice, do not lose optimism. Although there is not much, it is divided obcorkajowcami happy with who encounter his address by coachsurfing (maybe this is some way to ubarwic gray, Yakutsk reality?) Is an open, happy to talk, he travels the world - was in China and Mongolia. He speaks English, he studied journalism. It Jakutem. Thinks that is and will be getting better - with the pride of showing us these few renovated streets, which in Poland, you might as well be found on the first block of thought.
Alexei, whom we met with Yegor, the truest Podroznik. It is already for 3 months on the road, hitching rides from the Ukraine to Chukotka. Why going? He says Ukraine it's not his house. He returns to the place where lived the first 14 years of his life (before moving to Ukraine.) To accomplish this trip, I quit my job. Chukotka and Kamchatka is still his family will be there for the winter. So the man with the end of the world (literally - Chukotka is the most easternmost peninsula of Eurasia!) Returns to the End of the World. You can see things are more important than a safe life in European civilization. Alexei
life changed in August after he was paralyzed as a result of a brain tumor. Traces of this paralysis are evident in that as you move - put your legs unnaturally stiff, his hands are shaking. But it goes further! In this modest, emaciated figures from Indian face and long hair is a great power ... Travelling through such a time, in such circumstances (Siberia, Altai, Mongolia) with 30-kg rucksack powdziw deserves.
So it looks like, the truth is, Siberia, and gives the bone. Here is the really hard. Probably most of us had that problem, although in order to survive 1 year (because it's all still happening at the row of squares and 1500zł rates 1.5-2 times higher than in Poland). Yegor When I ask whether, in the Yakutia life is hard, blithely replied: "Heavy?" How? "Not in our life is normal." PR
