Things are the same in UB. Toni decided to be a local for a couple of days and relaxed with the second national drink, vodka (the other one is tea). The first day he spent in the bed but on the second he unfortunately got up. The plan was to get some food and we got to the restaurant, but Toni’s manners got less respect than expected and he got slapped by a policeman who wanted to have a fight outside. When we got clear of the situation, Ville and I thought to go have a beer somewhere, but Toni was having some difficulties with walking. He did try to hit on some girls but they usually got away in five seconds. Most of them got scared and run away. In the bar they gave us a VIP room and treated us nicely, we all got caps and I got a belt bag. It’s good for only theme parties, it’s horrible. Toni wanted to leave but he was going so badly off-road that the bartender brought him back inside. That doesn’t probably happen anywhere.
There also was some bad news. We couldn’t get the permits to China because of the price and lack of time, so we needed to redo the plan. If you want to drive to China make sure to have small sum of dollars at hand because you can’t get anywhere with less than three thousand, and a week there will cost you at least double. We met a guy who told us he could get us there for almost nothing but it would take him a month to arrange. Chinese license wouldn’t be a problem unlike we thought, you can get it from many places within days after having an easy exam.
We’ve been trying to get over the defeat, got ourselves together and decided to head back to Russia. Everyone wanted to see China but we’ll have to skip it this time. We try to go through Siberia which doesn’t sound like the best idea. We thought about getting the cars on a train but it costs a thousand euros per car plus other expenses so we are driving to Vladivostok and will take a boat to Japan from there. It should be about three thousand kilometers from Chita to Vladivostok. I hope the roads are ok. The road from UB to Russia should be paved, but after that it might be the worst drive so far.
