Hitchhiker in Russia: our country through the eyes of a canadian
Young Canadian guy Tim is interested in travel. At the same time, he cannot be called a wealthy man, and he does not have family ties with the oligarchs. In general, it does not apply to wealthy tourists.
Tim realizes his craving for a change of scenery with the help of hitchhiking trips. The guy travels lightly and never plans his route in detail. In this way, he managed to travel around many countries, and recently he decided to talk about his trip to Russia. There he even shot a video, however, in English. The guy was imbued with sympathy for our country and its inhabitants.
Hitchhiking in Russia
The Canadian traveled hundreds of kilometers across our country, asking passing drivers to give him a lift. He noted the goodwill, friendliness and responsiveness of the people he met in Russia.
Once, when one driver was driving him, they noticed a car on the side of the road and an elderly woman standing helplessly near the open hood. The driver stopped and helped her to start the car.
Most willingly Tim was selected by truckers. He liked to wake up with the first rays of the sun in the cab of a large truck.
Russia through the eyes of a canadian
Canada is a huge country, but Russia is the largest country in the world. At the same time, it is distinguished by variety and unexpected contrasts. In the morning you can admire the paintings of famous masters in one of the palaces of St. Petersburg, and in the evening you can enjoy fish salted according to a special recipe in one of the surrounding villages. In general, the people here are hospitable, and he always managed to find a free overnight stay while visiting Russia without difficulty.
The guy managed to see many different countries and believes that Russian roads are the most bumpy in the world. But this fact did not spoil his positive impression of our country.
He liked buying watermelons, honey and vegetables right on the side of the highway from grandmothers standing here, drinking kvass from barrels on the street, and he was just delighted with the Russian bath. The Canadian is surprised at how he managed to survive after her visit.
Tim was greatly impressed by the Russian churches and their modest beauty. Although they are similar to each other, at the same time they are subtly different from each other. The guy saw people standing in line to light a candle in front of the icon.
It is not known why, but Tim decided that the Russians are very fond of swimming in city fountains. Perhaps he was in one of the Russian cities on August 2, when the men who served in the Airborne Forces celebrate their holiday.
Russian village
Tim felt the special atmosphere of a Russian village. He believes that only having been here can one say that he has seen real Russia.
Time seems to flow more slowly in villages than in cities. Here he saw people working in the fields and gardens from morning to evening. He noticed how they were repairing their homes with hand-made tools. He saw here the old, rickety houses, the owners of which died or left to live in the city.
Here he swam in the river, where there is no equipped beach, he was able to catch a hedgehog in the forest, learned how to wave at departing trains at Russian stations, and survived after going to the bathhouse.
From all that Tim managed to see and feel in our country, he concluded that Russia is a beautiful country. Apparently, for people who come to us with good intentions, it always opens from the very best side.
