At the end of February, Russia celebrates a national holiday under the title "Defender of the Fatherland Day. This is one of their main national holidays, and apart from the work, almost all Russians celebrate the festival in an active form or another. In 2007 I had the pleasure of Angarsk, in Russia with my Russian wife and we were invited by friends for his family to go with them and them to a recreation area outside the city to celebrate this holiday.My wife asked me if I wanted to go, and I answered with my usual answer to these questions, although I do not know exactly what the holiday was or what we were doing. I was just in Russia with her for a few weeks and was completely familiar with most things there, and not explain what happened. All I knew was that it was a holiday and we were invited his friends to go somewhere to do something. WeatherI must stress that most of the things they asked me to do in Russia was done with this vague idea of what I did, but that was fine.
We drove about an hour into his old friend, the model of Lada, a Russian production car looks like a small Fiat square, in the snow light on the way to a mountainous area outside the city. Not snowing at the time, but in Angarsk in southern Siberia, about a foot of snow covers the ground from November to April or May The ride waspleasant, except for our friends wife, who had many stories about him on how to drive and its emphasis on the fact that the car breaks down or not. There were four of us adults in the car and the fact that we're going uphill all the way, we could only around 30 or 40 mph. It 's been the car could do, but it has lightened the mood a bit' because we laughed about it.
Friends of my wife, Alex and Anna, were very nice and we all go together well, but it was always a bit 'strangeme when we were together, because I do not speak the Russian language, and spoke only a few words in English. I was an outsider, because the three of them in an ongoing conversation and I did not understand a single thing they said. They do not seem to mind, but after some time in a limited space, has always seemed to me to start a little 'annoying. My wife has translated some things I asked, but as the typical Russian, very quickly under the spellconversation and forgot to translate. Russian speakers are very hard and intense and always seemed to me that fight, but when I asked what they were angry, I had the usual response: "We are not fighting!" Later I learned that if I could not understand their conversations, I would just observe and enjoy the game.
We arrived at the recreation area and their parents met there with two children, Anna and Alex, the boys. It 'was a beautiful parkarea on top of a hill in the woods. There were wooden houses for rent, and a central lodge open for dinner and drinks. Many people came to the playground for their holiday break, and the object was to find a room and a barbecue grill to prepare for a picnic. The fact that it was very cold outside this plan does not appear to affect the majority of the people and have reached their planned activities. We were able to form a grid and a table to find, but wesoon discovered that the wind was too much for us to be able to maintain the desired layout so that the plan of eating out has been put aside in favor of going into the lodge. Anna's father did and managed to keep the grill cooking the meat, but everything has been moved inside. This suited me fine, because it is in South America that I was, I was not looking for a stay outside all day in the cold.
While his father was busy cooking, we diverted our attention onThe entertainment for the day. There was a long, long, long path is removed from the side of the mountain and the people were small rental, air hoses around to sit and slide down the hill. I did not describe these pipes and tubes, because they are not designed for tires, and they were much smaller. There were probably only for this purpose. However, we rented one and went to the mound. If the man of the group and one with the camera, I thoughtperfectly content to watch and take pictures. This worked for a short period, but the band quickly and forced me to participate, so I did! In short, it was a lovely day to slip down the hill and back up. The slide was very exciting, almost to the point of his fear, because you have built a little 'speed on this important small tube slide unbalanced wake up this long without any protection. It was noteven slightly, the end to stop except for a brief space on slope, with trees at the end. I never hit the trees, but I used up all the snow to stop. There were some mounds of snow are designed, or at least I think they were intentional, causing dump and roll to reach the end of the clearing. Once again, every time I rolled up and dumped, and uses all the clearing.
E 'pregnant when my wife and I slide together. I never used to feelsliding down a hill, sometimes less if you were to turn what looked like a 100 mph. If we are united, about 50 percent of the time it would crash and spill in the middle of the slope. The tube was just too unbalanced. But we never got hurt, and I was surprised how this form of public activity can be punished in a public place because of the danger of accidents, but I had to keep reminding myself that this is Russia, not America , and the same rules did notapply.
After we had as much fun as we feel, we all gathered in the lodge for drinks and foods. It 'was a great moment, and with the help of teenagers, that we, who spoke good English, because it is taught in school, I was able to communicate with the entire group, making it a very nice experience. We all had fun!
Since a military leave, the army of kids were there with a portable table, where samples of their field rations for the warmthe public. I had the opportunity to experience and was not bad, except for the fact that not much flavor, but that was a side event of the celebration. My first defense of the homeland for holidays in Russia were very nice and funny. I was struck by how the local population turned out to celebrate this holiday, and if I would learn in time, like all the holidays.
