Trippin all over the place

All I gotta say is with so much 'trippin'......you will eventually fall on your face many times....

most call it gravity.....but we all know better!! ;)

Yes, much of my face planting was my fault. Chasing too young girls, going after the
wrong girls etc. I did learn and started making different mistakes instead of the same
ones again and again.

If a newbie could just learn two things from all my meandering around, they would
be miles and miles ahead.

1. You gotta be the one driving the bus
2. If this isn't the future Mrs __________ your name here then dump her and move on.

Udachi!

Trippin in Dnepropetrovsk

So I was pursuing a girl in Dnepropetrovsk.

In my mind she had it all. She is pretty, tall, educated, very smart, excellent English,
she could make me laugh and laugh, is sexy and has amazing green eyes. She can
walk a zillion miles in the ice and snow in high heel boots and keep up with my long
strides without any visible effort. All the boxes on my list were checked off.

View outside the apartment window.



People were always walking pets in the mornings.

Many people were outside and beating the hell out of the snow
for some mysterious reason. I asked my GF and she explained
that they had brought out their area rugs and placed them in
the snow and beat them in preparation for the New Year
celebrations.

Here is a picture of yours truly with a completely uncool hat on
my head. It was warm and even more uncool with the flaps down.

The sinks only have one basin for the most part. So I
set up a little dish of concentrated soapy water for dishes
rather than put a new dab on the sponge each time.

We went all over Dnepropetrovsk riding these little 
Microbus / Vans which costs between 1.5 and 2 grivna
per person, the exchange rate at the time was about
8hr per dollar, so 20-25 cents per ride.   

In the Microbus, you get in and shut the door behind you.
Then you find a seat if there is one and pass the money
up to the passenger in front of you telling them how many
you are paying for, then the driver makes change while
driving and passes it back the same way.

Often when I was in the middle money came forward with
instructions odin (one) dva (two) etc. sometimes they had
more elaborate instructions so I had to rely on my GF to
pass them forward.

I tried to figure the buses out but I never understood why
we were getting on one little van / bus and not another.
They really all looked alike to me.

We passed this park with all these different limestone looking
things. I have no idea what they are. It wasn't a graveyard.
My GF didn't know what is was either.

Never seen dead people (except from the ones in caskets at funeral homes). I had a girlfriend who claimed to see ghosts every day. We were driving in my car one evening and she said there were two of them in the backseat. I am not making that up.

But I see a pic of snow-covered ground in reply #402

My wife and I do the same thing during the winter in Michigan. Put the rugs face down in the snow and rub them around and then shake them out. It's to clean them.

I've ran across these toilets a number of times. I've never had to use
when while suffering Montezuma's revenge but I shudder to think about it.
