            H A R T S T O L I



(C) JUSTINAS



           Traveling into the carpet.


   Yes, this winter, I Kristof, decided to go for risky:) step 
and go to far and probably for many of the famous city of 
Carpets, a visit to Proxima Centauri, meet with the New 2000 
Year. The path was coming just awesome. First, it was necessary 
to get to Moscow, and then in Moscow, where I was practically 
the first time around to another station, buy a ticket and go

even before Kovrova. But anyway we decided to take this step, 
ponabrali with a bunch of bags and luggage with the teen went 
to Moscow. Travel time was to some 24 hours, ie day, and could 
be safely placed in the train. Yes, but only things with them, 
we took a "small" a present for kovrovtsev - 35 bottles 
DIFFERENT foreign language (almost the whole of Europe) of beer.

Total, we've got two bags of commercials on
10 kg each, 2 bags, and another
backpack (then still the second appeared).

   Leaving from Kaliningrad to the street
temperature +2 C, we expect a pretty
New Year's "gift". Winter is winter, we have
it as such in Koenig was not. Only
Only after passing the Kaliningrad region aka
East Prussia;) and drove in Lithuania, we
began to feel like a minus. In Lithuania,
Incidentally, the hurricane pobusheval not less
than we have. Virtually every old and tall trees were piled up. 
Well as they say and shook hands with the Lithuanians (border), 
to which they round eyes we were asked: "Bitch zhoya?", I mean 
to eat. Well type, if in Lithuania, then immediately let

passport for the stamp. And, just incidentally, was asked why 
the hell do the Lithuanians in the Russian train. The surprise 
was more that It turns out that we live in Russia. In addition,

almost all of them speak Russian, only
They say it they do not want.
Maskva gerai!

   Ahead of us was waiting for another country - Canada. As it 
later became known, Belarusian and Russian border were 
combined, and ahead of us is only one remaining

Customs Control (Horseradish take them).
Belarussian border guards (with their hats earflaps), something 
not like Kristof'ovskoe birth certificate, what they started 
asking stupid questions like: where is the permanent residence, 
but as got here;) Though not in the power of attorney is to look


   Minsk, it was the next town where you could get some fresh 
air. Here then we have and the idea, but not we would buy more 
Belarusian beer. The fact that the Belarussian bunnies almost

20-fold impaired compared with the ruble, and because we 
planned to buy a bottle 20. Belarusian beer, though not 
blestalo quality, we have in Kaliningrad sell several 
varieties, but this beer is true and no one (almost) does not 
buy, calling it donkey urine:) But all was to come. Taking with 
him a little bit of Russian Roubles :) We came to the only 
nearby from our train tent some starosovetskih times. To our 
great surprise selection was not much: Coca-Cola, Calvo, bread, 
and somewhere in a corner crept all one sort of a left-beer 
Alivaryya, that cost on to our calculations on the Russian for 
about 3 rubles. After asking the shop assistant, not whether it 
will sell on the Russian money She was delighted said: "Oh, for 
Russian - 10 rubles!" Y-yes, the words were not, some surprised 
eyes. Well this is how they want to weld? Kristof decided to go 
to showdown. Kristof: On two rubles and selling beer?

Saleswoman: What? What kind of fools are divorced,
we have bunnies ... And, you are in U.S. Dollars? Ten rubles!
Kristof: Yes, you what, we have your beer 2-3
times cheaper!
Saleswoman: Where are you?
Kristof: In Russia ...
Saleswoman: Here and go to their crappy
Russia!
And finally, this same girl how to slam the door of his stall. 
No # $% ^ Themselves, I think that's you and Belarus.

Kristof has been proposed to find an exchanger, but
as the saying goes, time is running out and proximity to other 
than the inscription "In VYHAD Gorod" nothing was not 
remarkable. On the Spectrum all The same word Belarus somehow 
associated in a good opinion, such as there Fatality,

there E-mage. So you see, was sent to
our "crappy Russia." There was nothing,
"Memory" of any he had taken from Belarus and I decided to buy 
a beer, although anticipated that it sux. Something to color

was suspicious, the sticker left (kakayato bird's claws holding 
the barrel) and the bottle itself is transparent. One way or 
may be different:) I bought it. Well, we soon ran into his

car. About the beer will not say anything,
so as not to offend anyone, except to say only
that balances had to be poured into the toilet. Until
Moscow had a little, all night ...

   Maskva, in this city, we arrived without
fifteen to eleven. Bags were drop dead serious that I had to 
fly truck. On the question of how much it will cost, I was told 
that RUB 10. Well, we asked them to us to dovezli

subway station. It was somewhere in 100
meters from the station. But here we all dovezli,
bags laid out, and said: fifty dollars. No
# $% ^ Themselves, I think, well, you have here and the price. 
Yes and it justified itself by looking at the tent, I was 
horrified, and bread - from 7 to 9 rubles shaverma - 27 rubles, 
the Russian beer - 10 to 30 rubles, foreign beer (we range 
still a lot more and, most importantly, cheaper) - from 30 to 
90 rubles. Interestingly, and who buys it from them for such 
prices? We remember, beer is considered the most expensive for 
21 rubles, and then it was Mexican, then it is cheaper by 5 
rubles. The metro was an awesome place, no one I could not tell 
how much travel, until he came on stage - 4 rubles!

Yes, I think it's you is not Peter, and not the Baltic States. 
People are concerned about some who did not ask, nobody do not 
know. With grief in half we reached Yaroslavl Station, where we 
still expect number of events. Firstly, we could hardly buy a 
ticket, the operator had some angry and she always something to 
not like it. Secondly, when we wanted to go to the toilet, we

had to put 4 rubles each (!!!). In
let in the waiting room only tickets.
The hall itself was so packed that there was no
no free space, we had some time to stand up. Also in this room
standby was declared Picture Show on the 3 rd
floor of the movie "Skins". We thought the time to kill so and 
go for this movie greatly regretted that later, there was 
complete nonsense about the skins, as they beat narrow-eyed, 
Jews, and involved in one - ") business. In addition, the 
operator was in disbelief that we do not like the film, and 
said that we the first who said it was nonsense. To hang with 
the bags was more than awful, and we decided to pass them to 
the storage chamber. In the U.S. they are not accepted, and I 
am a long time asking, where is still there exchanger, barely 
found it and stayed for about an hour in the queue. In 
addition, the bank tax - it is very loud! Then again four 
rubles in the toilet, then search where is all the same

the first path. It was striking that even
employee of the station could not have anything to me
answer. Only by asking some MVDshnika, we found the very first 
path, fenced home. Maskva Geru? 

   But now, finally, this is the nightmare was over and we went 
in the direction of Kovrov. Incidentally, the train first time 
We could not believe that we are already out Kaliningrad. In 
Vladimir we should have hit at 18:50, but the train was late by 
20 minutes. On the question of the conductor, will catch up if

this time the driver, she said that the train may still be late 
and late. (C) RUSSIAN RAILWAYS!


   Here, finally, the train arrived at this very
station, the street was quite dark, and
me impatient to see this
most carpets, a well-famed
on the scene. Coming out of the car I immediately sharply
felt the cold air. Presented itself before me something like a 
station with a shabby walls [old station was demolished and the 
new is already the best in the area. Ca. Ed.]. About a minute 
we stood on the Peron, in anticipation of our vstrechateley. 
And so, Finally, we saw two, kind of like familiar silhouette 
on its way to us. This were Vel and Uncle Sam. Greeting,

They grabbed our heavy bags and
led us to a halt. Barely passing,
I noticed we were awaiting the Sergius'a and Eren'u Kline. On 
the question of what in Kovrov for the station, they told me 
that now building a new and probably very soon it will be work. 
About half an hour we had more wait a trolleybus, since it 
seems that Kovrov (and in Vladimir, too), the main

transport is exactly trolley.
Yes, you would see how much we have trolley buses, and how many 
people ride them. : B Finally, waiting for a trolley bus, we 
went into the house and Sergius'a Eren'y Kline, who We warmly 
and arranged, for what they Many thanks.


   Safely to the house of earrings,
We began to explore their homes, at the same time showing that 
we had brought from Koenigsberg. And apart from beer, we took a 
few more old foreign money (eg with fascist svastkoy), a 
collection of stamps and several Nazi newspapers 1938-39 year,

remains of my friend.

   The next day it was decided to
Visit to Ash'u, the more that he is less
all believed that we still come this far. The path was coming 
high through cemetery, and, besides, the street was savage

cold (for me) that I did the first time
could not adapt to new conditions and
climate. Ash, it turns out, lived in a
military unit [Military camp. Ca.
Ed.] and so in his address, no street.
Just a few minutes and in the same house opened the creaking 
door, and looked out from all known Demiurge ASH. At home

Ash has demonstrated some of his graphic achievements on the 
PC, as well as notified about that by 31 he will make a small 
number of pozdravlyalku 2000 th year. 

   The next day, was paid a visit to
Eternity Industry, however, while we
found only a D-Man'a and Sairoos'a, Paracels
at that time was in Vladimir, in his education. The next, 
though, the day he returned, and we managed to see him. They 
said that now preparing invitation dentro, as well as a 
collection of graphics. Necessarily going to go to CC'000 and, 
According Sairoos'a, did even better demo than the former, 
which will also design. 

   30 th day it was decided to start spending brought tasting 
beer. Elena for that matter even bought a red fish

(In Kovrov it, imho, my dear, is immediately seen
not a port city;). Poured it all
case on the glass, and all participants were given tasting

   And that's not everything we wanted
bring. House was still about 10 varieties. We would just all 
this is not taken away. 

   In this very first day we managed to
drink as much 16 bottles, the rest already had finished the New 
Year and January 4. Complete results of the evaluations of beer 
you can find in the Heresy # 5, however, just to tell you, 
assess there is not objective, you know,

by degrees here also evaluated. For example, Gosser, almost all 
set a high assessment, but in reality ... it was just

16th beer in one day:))) Vel even managed a single brand like 
120% supply [All a lie and a provocation. Ca. Ed.]

I secretly wiped:) I'll say one thing,
I think the best brands of beer, which we
brought, it is: Three Bears, Bear Beer (not
Moscow fake banks in 0.5!), Elbrewery All, Carlsberg, Corona, 
Heineken ... However, all, absolutely all of the above merits 
test. And it's certainly better than what I managed to buy in 
Kovrov (Premier, Fat Man, the Golden Gate ...). Here Yarpivo - 
cool! 

   New Year, it was agreed to meet seven: Sergius Puzzler, 
Erena Kline, Vel, Uncle Sam, Demiurge Ash, Kristof and me. In 
addition, to Elena must pay tribute to that Some dishes on the 
table she made to order, so almost everything that was on the 
table was made of it. New Year was celebrated with a fun 
champagne and delicious meals. 

   After the holiday, I moved to live with
Vel'u, there were many common cases. Very pleased with me, his 
carefully assembled Pentagon, more like stitched him Gluk Reset 
Service. Indeed, the very comfortable and a good trick: 
built-in bottle, several modes of entry in the tr-dos, the 
choice drive in front, support for mouse and

sure, a few more features that
I have not had time to investigate. All remaining
days, which were held in Kovrov I
lived in Vel'a. Kristof was a Sergius'a,
with whom he collected the ZX-Footbal # 2000.

   There was also a meeting with Mongol'om, he said that he 
continues to disketirovaniem cluster (and not only) of toys and 
probably make another Legacy Info. Several logos were also his 
Legacy presented.


   Melted Snow. We saw him only on the last day of their stay. 
The second number Fans, by the way, is about to have out 
[already left. Ca. Ed]. 

   Was as accomplished a trip to Vladimir, a visit to Sat'u 
that already in place Spectrum showed off stump. Incidentally,

Snake in the same Vladimir, whose broken off buying the PC, 
started again for Heroes. So there is hope that this game to 
implement. 

   Back in Moscow, we had to go to
bus, and also defeated Kristof'a
Kovrov cold (-16 C), and he managed to catch a cold. This 
temperature the first time we tried the hard way. 

   It is now difficult to remember all the other little things 
that occurred during the case of our stay, but I will say one 
thing, a trip we are happy and express great thanks for the 
hospitality for guests of all Western Kovrovchanam that we've 
seen. 

   Tell us how we got back, I will not, except to say that 
Kaliningrad we have already met with a temperature of +8 C. 

   And finally, a small application from
Kristof'a.
