Once again..

So, in any case, it's my fault.. Every time when I have a business with official services, after all I'm vowing not to do this more. These guys certainly will cost you dear but make the job poor (in most cases). First time I was note that with my car servicing, the last time with the photolens repair.

The full cost of repair (with materials) they valued at the half cost of a new lens (repairing was whole month). Three weeks ago I took it out and went to Karelia. After the returning I've found two dusts under the first lens (most likely I didn't found them when took the lens from service). A few day ago I came to them with the warranty event and what do you think?! These insolent refused me to remove the dusts for free because (as they say) it is not due to the repair works they've done and that I did it. For 1.5 years no one dust and for two weeks the two? No way!! I left them and I'm sure forever.

P.S. Before that case I've asked them about the matrix clearning service and the cost was 4500 rubles ($150). In the ordinary service I've done this work for only 900 rubles (with the perfect quality). I'm not ready to pay only for brand!!

Homemade

I was played a little with my cam. How it was:

Vorgol rocks

A week ago me and my friends had a pleasant trip to the Vorgol rocks. How it was:

9-th company

Today I was watching the "9-th company" movie. A film about the Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan. And I like it at most.

The major thing I like is how the director (Bondarchuk, Jr.) showed hazing (in a good sense) as an important factor in formation of the military brotherhood. It was a difficult task and I like as he showed it. At the same time I did not like how he showed the battle scenes (the last part of film) - everything was looking too unreal and even foolish. In this part, it is still very far from the mastery of his father (Bondarchuk, Sr.).

As I said, the film is good at most and I recommend you to watch it.

Lake Baikal 2010: Khamar-Daban mountains (Weather Station) - Arshan - Warm Lakes

The previous posts were about our arrival and wandering around the Weather Station. By this post I'm finishing the long story about our trip to Lake Baikal that was in summer 2010. How it was:

Euphoria

Euphoria!! I hate this fake omnipotence feeling. This suspends your mind and tickles the body, like a sip of alcohol or a puff of strong tabacco smoke. But most of all I'm scare of the thought that everything will end inevitably and you'll find yourself sitting in the heart of desert.

日本

I'm watching the film about the autotravel in Japan. Oh, as well there as I want to go back. Tears dropping from my eyes... Counting the days..

Waiting for matriculating

Yesterday I was whatching a new 3d-shooter trailer. The graphics was so perfect that it is very close to reality.

I think that soon humanity eventually will owe to devise a matrix. There are many people who'll want to connect. Moreover maybe I'll be the first because this realistic anthill is bored to death!

Russian bathhouse

Yesterday with my friends went to a Russian bathhouse. It was in the middle of Moscow in the AREC park. Inexpressible impressions and I completely forgot about my illness.

What a shame!! But people who knows me for a long time didn't surprised of my behavior.. Oh, what am I mean? I've already finished my photos from the last trip to lake Baikal on August 2010. How it was:

Language exchange

Today in a sub the foreigners asked me how to get to the station they need. I shown and told, of course, but now I'm understand that my knowledge of the language is far from perfect.

土曜日と日曜日働きません。土曜日は遠足する。日曜日は休みます。

Off-season

Today it is snowfall again. All the streets became white and it's not believable that yesterday was a spring. I want summer..

Friends

Today I watched my old and present photos. I saw many people I know. And you know what I think? I'm very happy man because there are so many wonderful people around me.

And how about you?

Vodka-selyodka

Yesterday on the evening I was thinking about the supper. And what I've done? As a result we have 0,75L of vodka, soft salted cucumbers and sauerkraut. Russian traditions is a great thing I think!

Cost saving

Globalisation make the local countries economics dependent from condition of the world situation.

The last crisis shows the strength of global relationships. And I think that cost saving more or less has affected every employee in the world.

But I can't understand one thing. A week ago I went on a business trip to Abakan city (5 hours of flight). The cost of econom class ticket was about 15000 RUR ($500). And inspite of this I never saw so poor dinner on a board. I chose a fish and when opened the package I found the fishcake of 4x4 cm and 3 little pieces of cauliflower.

Now I'm coming back and this is another airlines. But what do you think? The dinner is the same poor (maybe a little bit better)!

I don't understand this kind of economy. How much did they save by that way? $3-10? In that case I'm ready to pay $510 for a ticket!

And the major thing is that we have no alternative here. You don't like something with our airlines? So go by the train for a 5 days.

Big country - big troubles. Hate that!!
