I came close to fighting for the first time in Russa today. I was waiting at a bus stop with my German friend Alex and this tiny lttle bald guy walked up and started staring at him in a really creepy drunken way. He did that for about two minutes then walked up and started saying ridiculous stuff that neither I nor Alex, who speaks fluent Russian could understand. Alex told th gentlemen that we didn't understand then the guy got really mad and stated freaking out and cursing at us asking why we didn't understand him. I thought it was really funny, because Alex is about my height(6'4) and over 200 pounds so I started to laugh uncontrollably. The guy was probably not even five feet tall and I think he was over thirty years old.
Any way the guy started pushing us screaming in our faces. (The pushes weren't really a problem because the guy was so small but it is the idea which is offensive.)Nobody nearby wanted to help and I learned that Alex is a pacifist so I pushed the guy and he fell over then Alex and I ran into a bus. That was an awesome idea because the gentlemen didn't have the neccesary fifteen cents. I think everything went well but I probably should have punched him because I bet he just picked new targets once we left.

OK, now you have me praying hard !!!
ReplyDeleteI could have taken him in a real fight for sure--he was half my size and drunk--this is true of most of the bad men in Russia. I was also with someone who was also twice this fella's size. There really never was a serious problem.
