He met a Russian man who lived there. The traveller was curious if that man who had moved to live in New Zealand liked his life there.
” Yes, everything is OK”- answered that man, -” but there is the lack of soul here.”The traveller was surprised and wanted to know what that man meant. “For example, people here come to a restaurant and then go home. It is not interesting. And in Russia such meal could end with a fight. ” It is really difficult to understand a Russian soul !:)
I would think this man was an exception, if I didn’t remember an episode from my childhood. My parents went to a birthday party to a restaurant and some fellows began to fight. A man was hurt with a glass and all the restaurant and visitors were soiled with blood.
Sounds like a horror film.:) I am afraid that you will be frightened to go to restaurants in Russia.You shouldn’t be afraid of it. Common people do not go to restaurants now, as it is rather expensive. It was earlier when we lived in the USSR.
People who visit restaurants now do not fight, as they worry about their reputation.
