On the front page of the latest edition of "Habarovsky wjésti" ist ganzseitig ein Aufruf von Bürgermeister Sokolów abgedruckt. "Die Naturgewalten meistern wir gemeinsam", heißt die Überschrift. "Verehrte Einwohner Chabarowsks! Erneut ist unsere Stadt in der Gewalt eines Zyklons. In diesem Jahr sind November und Dezember ungeahnt schneereich. Die alteingesessenen Bürger der Stadt können sich nicht erinnern, dass es in den letzten 30 Jahren etwas Ähnliches gegeben hätte. Allein die Niederschlagsmenge im Dezember entspricht fünf Monatsnormen, und den Prognosen der Meteorologen zufolge wird es bis zum 4. Januar schneien.
...Ich rufe die Bewohner Chabarowsks auf, sich zur gemeinsamen Sache zu vereinigen - sie können ernsthafte Hilfe leisten bei der Schneeräumung. And then no force of nature prevent us to celebrate this most popular of festivals and the Neujahresferien be happy and comfortable for adults and children. "
I have never seen so much snow in my life. My yesterday morning jog, I used to to me extensively to roll around in the white snow mountains in the three ponds of the Ussuri Boulevards. The streets of the city sink under its stuck in traffic. travels the last few days, no trams more. To be eligible for the small annual celebration of the Academic Choir at the Cultural Institute, I had - to double the usual price -.
take a taxi arrived with almost an hour late there, I sat next to bass singer Alexei place. He is not yet 50 but already annuitized, as is usual with people who have served their lives in the army. Alexei has built as an engineer, among others, the BAM and worked in Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. We talked about the proposed rail tunnel to Sakhalin, whose construction was begun under Stalin, Alexei told about the hot springs on the Kurile Islands and shook his head when he saw that I bumped with water instead of vodka. "For us it is forbidden," he said, "you have to drink at parties, anniversaries and all the relatives of all ... it is not at all to dry out." Every few minutes, got someone who asked the Anwesenden zum Einschenken auf, brachte einen Toast aus - auf den Chor, die Musik, die Chorleiterin oder das Leben überhaupt - und dann wird getrunken, und zwar in der Regel das Glas auf Ex, "das ist doch für den Magen schädlich, wenn man den Wodka mit Luft vermischt, indem man ihn in kleinen Schlucken trinkt." Die Stimmung wird gelöster, es werden Lieder gesungen, aber Anzeichen echter Betrunkenheit merke ich bei niemandem.
Die Gaststudenten aus China sind ebenfalls anwesend. Sie haben auch Russisch gelernt, aber natürlich fällt es ihnen noch viel schwerer als mir. Chabarowsk heißt auf Chinesisch "Chabalofusike" - im Chinesischen gibt es kein richtiges "r", und nach jedem Konsonanten muss ein Vokal folgen.
I've just heard on the news that the highway is released in the 400 kilometers north of the town Komsomolsk Bussverkehr again. This is good news because there starts at 31.12. my train journey to Lake Baikal - on the BAM, the north through Siberia extending alternative route for the Trans-Siberian Railway. So I will celebrate New Year on the train and then from 3 to 8 January in Severobaikalsk be at the north end of Lake Baikal, the third time, but for the first time in the winter.
climb to the train But BAM, I have to come first to Komsomolsk, an eight-hour journey, just around the corner, then, as we would say here. A train ticket there, I've taken care of too late which are all sold out. Maybe I get a bus ticket for tonight or tomorrow morning. If the road due to snow storms are again closed to buses, tomorrow I could still hitchhike from the settlement Knyaz-Wolokónskoje from just outside the city. Soft Adventures Season existence!
Well, sometimes I grab my backpack.
But first I wish you all my readers a happy and a good start into 2011 - "S nastupájuschtschim nóvym godom"
At the entrance to Dynamo Park receives a Father Frost
The distances between the ice art-objects to be evacuated
A gigantsche Gulliver
figure before a small maze of ice blocks
Spartak, Olga, Rita. At 21:40 clock and knocked the Deshúrnaja reminded me of that visit is allowed only up to 22 clock.
