Chapter 337: A Trip to Go
I agreed with Xinxin on the day of departure, and my mood became comfortable.
I told my aunt that I was planning to see the beautiful Baikal Lake, and that she would be interested in going with me?
My cousin looked at me with a puzzled face and said, "Why don't she go to Lake Baikal!" It was the place where the tsars exiled criminals in the past, desolate and pitiful! How can it be compared to Manchuria, what do you want here, so she doesn't want to go there with me to suffer.
I told my cousin how the view of Lake Baikal used to stun me! I really couldn't resist her temptation
The old man shook her head and said, you actually think that the ice and snow are beautiful! I think you've lived in Moscow for a few years for too long, and there's something wrong with the Muscovites!
It's not easy to see the lake? Let your uncle take you to Dalai Lake, but there is the best fish nearby! Where is it worse than Lake Baikal?
After touching my cousin's again, I decided not to invite anyone, so I would go on a trip by myself!
Someone has not said that there must be at least two impulses in life, one is desperate love, and the other is a trip that says go.
Since a walk-and-go trip is defined as an impulsive move, no one is obligated to go crazy with me.
It's not a day or two since I've been longing for Baikal, and I even regret why I always wanted to go home when I first worked in Chita, when I didn't even go to Baikal!
It turned out that I had been so stupid and so easy to ignore such beautiful things around me.
Nowadays, I really don't want to miss this trip again. I don't want to leave myself with too many regrets.
Even though I didn't have my loved ones with me this time, this didn't make Baikal any less attractive to me!
Perhaps, a lonely journey will better empty oneself, make one's thoughts and actions more free, and bring more insights and enlightenment to oneself?
In fact, life is not a journey. In the journey of life, perhaps it is precisely because of being attracted by different scenery that the path of life is different.
In the journey of life, we are all like passing by. No matter how breathtaking the beauty is, we can't take it with us, it can only remain in our memories.
Maybe the essence of what is truly good is the same! We are only allowed to experience and feel, not to possess and keep it private.
I have a dream to record the people and things in my life that move me, the unforgettable scenery, the epiphany of the soul, and the sublimation of the spirit...... This is perhaps the only thing that truly belongs to me!
I secretly vowed to record the beauty of the trip, remember the interesting people I met, take beautiful photos, and send them to Andrei. Let Andrey, who is more and more like Sergei, helplessly envy, jealousy, and hatred of the high-rise buildings in front of him!
Set off with Xinxin's group. I owe Xinxin favors and have experience as a tour guide, in fact, I am really an alternative tourist. In addition, my Russian is also better than Xinxin's, and I have participated in Xinxin's work almost all the time.
Along the way, Xin Xin said happily, Sister Lin, it's good to have you, it's the first time I feel that leading a group can be so easy!
Our first stop out of the country was Irkutsk.
Irkutsk is no stranger to me. When I was working in Chita, I used to travel here a lot.
Xinxin their company is located in the center of the city on Marx Street. The scale of the company is indeed not very large, in addition to Xinxin, there is also a male tour guide. The male tour guide told us that their person in charge had an urgent return yesterday and would not be back until about a week later.
Xinxin didn't expect this to be the case, she was afraid that I would run for nothing this time, and her words were a little anxious.
I comforted her and said, in fact, it's nothing to see their leaders a few days later, anyway, the main purpose of my visit this time is tourism, and I really haven't decided on work. I can go to Baikal first, and then it's not too late to talk about work when I come back.
Xinxin asked: Don't I want to visit Irkutsk with tourists?
I laughed and told her that I had been here several times.
Irkutsk gives me the impression that when you walk on the streets of the city, you don't feel like a big city with a population of 600,000, but rather like a quiet town.
You can only feel a bit of the city on the busiest streets in the central area.
Irkutsk's urban pattern is not complicated, with several arterial roads such as Marx Avenue and Lenin Avenue running through the entire central city, and the banks of the Irkusko River and the Angara River are relatively concentrated urban settlements.
A large number of residents are scattered on more than 300 square kilometers of land, making the whole city appear sparse and loose, and because of this, a good ecological environment and natural and diverse open space have become a major feature of the city.
