The walk and other casualties
So the day
off was over. Yep, it is pretty sad I
won’t lie but my mom thought differently. To celebrate our “reunion” she
decided to have a massive walk around the city. Basically, we had the entire
day to spend in an art museum. And to get to any place you need to do what?
Right, you need to take a bus, a taxi or you can use underground… Or you can
walk! This is exactly what we did! And please join me on this interesting walk.
The walk:
So you know
that big cities have a lot of people on the street, that’s basically why we
call them “big”. Here needs to be told a short back story. I don’t live in a
big city but it is not that small either, there are 600 000 people and
when we celebrate the birthday of our city everyone goes out and I feel like in
freaking New York. That is the reason why I tend to think that I’m used to big
crowd. But this was much more horrifying, mostly because of my mom. I live in
Russia and traffic here goes on the right side of the road so when you walk you
are supposed to do the same easy thing. So imagine my puzzlement when while I
was walking on the right side I caught with my eye a single figure which was
going on the left side against all the people… Guess who it was? You are damn
right – my mother. I called her out loud and told her to join me on the right
side, she did. But every now and then I have been catching her bumping into
different people walking in the opposite and even same to ours direction. But
no one can avoid it, both of us sometimes had this funny walking problem.
And other
casualties:
I love
being on the streets of any city and town, I personally think that only on the
streets you can feel the real energy of the place you are at. But there are
some downsides and one of those is when people distribute leaflets. I understand
that this is how they get to pay for themselves and I really respect it. But
the problem is when people don’t just give you a Burger King discount leaflet
and walk away, they give you some questionable paper and make it religious and
start asking something like: “Are you Christian?” or “Do you believe in God?’
And so my mom walked not in one but in two these questionable people in 15
minutes. We were walking down the street and she was keeping all the leaflets
that she was given, and when they gave her that weird paper she simply took it
not thinking that anything strange could happen. When my mom took the paper,
that man who gave her the paper, started walking behind us and asking his
religious questions. What did my mom? She turned around and gave the leaflet
back to the man with a simple “No, thanks”. We were walking 2 minutes in
complete silence and we cracked. We were laughing our eyes out because of her
“No, thanks”. It just sounded so posh that we couldn’t resist to laugh J
