“Nyet!” was the message delivered after months of preparing for the trek, flying to the other side of the planet, half a day prior at a Russian Governmental Agency with my interpreter filling out Cyrillic paperwork three times over, 3 hours down a dirt road, 2 hours of waiting in the hot, Siberian sun and “Nyet” or “No” is what the officials voiced. Nothing to do but make the best of it. Siberia is a beautiful land filled with beautiful people and lots of red tape. A trip to any public space, brings the stale smell of Vodka, body odor and a long wait in line. After waiting in line after multiple “bathroom” breaks by staff, expect to most likely NOT (nyet) get what you are trying to accomplish. They post their “bathroom” breaks at train station ticketing offices, banks, post offices…pretty much any place of business will shut their window and leave lines of people waiting to go have their scheduled bathroom or smoke break.
nyet, nyet, nyet….I need to make something out of all this nothing 🙂
