Visiting Baranovichi

I slept just 3-4 hours. I am going to Baranovichi. I ate at KFC and had some yogurt. The line at the ticket counter is very long. I'm taking this 3-hour train.

It was very hot on the train and I couldn' sleep. I saw a group of young people sitting near me and I said здравствуйте. The man said hi to me, but that's all. I had a 4-person place (2 upper beds and 2 lower beds) all to myself, and I took out my Linux laptop to blog again because I was so bored. Someone asked, "Есть свободное место?" I said yes. He was a middle-aged man who smelled a little of alcohol. "Вы здесь один?" Я сказал: "путешествующий, студент из Китая, Шанхай". He doesn't know anything about Shanghai."Нравится эта страна?" "Конечно, чистая, красивая". I asked, "Как вас зовут?" "Андрей". I said my name is Дима.

Around 15 minutes before I arrived, 2 babushkas came and sat down next to me. I said, "Здравствуйте, приятно познакомиться". They were like, "Вы один? Китаец самостоятельно изучает русский? вы не боитесь? Ваши родители не боятся?" I told them, "Конечно, я не боюсь. Я понимаю язык, у меня есть деньги." A babushka said she had been to Xi'an. She asked, "А ты знаешь а зори здесь тихие?" I said of course, it's about ВОВ. I asked, "Вы знаете Группа любэ? А река течет, ты неси меня река,, конь, вот это?" Babushka said yes, mostly old people here listen to them. I said,"крылатые качели - одна из моих любимых песен." Anyway, we are in Baranovichi.

I tried to find hotels around here. I couldn't find a hostel. So I am going to stay in the Славянская хата, a room for 2 for 115 Rubles.

I left the hotel around 9 pm. I walked around the park and I met 4 men, Андрей, Егор, Никита and someone else, and Алина, Алёна. We talked for a while and I continued walking.

Then I quickly talked to some other people. There are 4 young men. they said they are also 16. So they asked the usual questions, "Откуда вы? Почему вы в здесь?" Then I said, "Мне нравится Яндекс. У меня есть Яндекс браузер и Яндекс Go". They suddenly laughed. Then I asked them where to eat? They said we can go to the KFC together. I bought a hamburger. There are 5 girls sitting in the table behind us. I asked, "У тебя есть хобби?" They said basketball. I was on summer break, and they are too, just hanging out around the city. A boy asked me, "Какая девушка красивая?" I said, "Все". I asked what they are doing then? "Просто гуляют." I asked isn't it boring? No. Someone was playing Roblox. Then someone told me to repeat "Даша, ты шлюхи". I asked what it meant. They said it meant "милая и красивая". So I just said, "Ты милая и красивая". Anyway, we left the KFC.

I walked out of the KFC, and a group of guys were sitting outside. They asked me if I had any Yuan? I said I didn't have it on me. I showed them my phone and they opened my Alipay account to "check" my money, and there wasn't any. The guy was surprised. I said it's linked to my bank card. Anyway, people here seem to know each other. There is a guy from Georgia, he said he likes MMA and he is very muscular. Finally they took the bus home, and I went the other way. It's like in Baranovichi there is the city center where most of the buses come, and people usually take the bus back home from there in the evening.

And two girls said, "Nihao." And one of them was filming some reels on Telegram and asked me a few questions. "Почему вас зовут Дмитрий, если вы из Китая?" Then she filmed another video, and the other girl said, "скажи, что Саша плохо". I said, "Саша красивая". They laughed and they left quickly.

There was no one in the bars and nightclubs here because it's Sunday, so I went out.
