I was on the bus early in the morning. There were a lot of people inside, but I managed to find a place by the window, put in my headphones and patiently wait for me to come home. A seat was vacated next to me and a young guy sat down on it. I smelled alcohol, but I was calm about it – New Year's Eve holidays, anything can happen. The guy took out his phone and started making video calls to his friend (without headphones) and when the call was accepted, he started pointing at ME on camera and saying look, this is my girlfriend, I'm going with her. I turned off the music, but did not take out my headphones – I thought that if I did not react, he would calm down. But it wasn't like that. They talked loudly for a couple of minutes discussing a recent binge (other passengers made a remark to him that he was interfering), then this guy started trying to hug me, to which I could not help but react. I forcibly took his hand off my neck and asked him to behave himself, because this is a public place and he is not alone. And that I don't want to participate in his conversation with a friend. Then he began to speak loudly over the video link, "Yes, you and I are soldiers. No one will marry us, no one needs us." Complaining about the way I reacted to his boorish behavior. I replied that soldiers and alcoholics are not the same thing, and that a real soldier would set a decent example, and not harass girls brazenly on the bus, disturbing the peace of other people. He stopped touching me, but his conversation with a friend did not stop – after a few minutes I realized that he did not know at which stop he needed to get off and in general he was in Minsk for the first time. I pulled out my earpiece and offered my help because I know this route well, and other people were too angry at him to help. I was angry too, but that's no reason for me to refuse to help. I asked him for only one thing – to drive safely to the end of his route, without pestering me or swearing loudly at the whole bus. Unfortunately, this guy couldn't contr

You know, I have these BIG bags, and I physically can't carry them, even if I try to take one in my teeth and carry another on my head 😂 So, I always call a taxi to take me to the photo studio. Without it, I'm stuck 😬 I genuinely get happy when taxi drivers, seeing AAAALL this luggage, pull up closer to help me. Some even help me unload everything, bringing it to the door. I'm just thrilled by it 🥰 they're really not obligated to do so, but I genuinely appreciate it! Unfortunately, more often these days, I try to travel with headphones on, as there was an incident the other day that really scared me 😬😬😬 In short, I called a taxi, a woman arrived, and we started chatting. She was so sincere, lively, and in passing, she mentioned her father and how sad things were. So, I asked her what's wrong with him. Suddenly, she burst into tears and said that he needed medication, but she couldn't afford it, so she was cutting costs wherever she could. It was SO bitter and painful 😭 I felt it physically! Imagine that - your closest family member fighting for their life, and you're doing everything you can 🥺 At the end of the ride, I of course asked for her phone number to send her a tip, but I wanted to do it off the app to avoid the commission. I transferred quite a big amount, more then my mom's monthly salary and unfortunately, this played a cruel trick on me 🥺 The next day, I needed to visit my parents again, so I called a taxi. The driver who came started bombarding me with questions: my job, my income, my age, where I live, who I live with, you name it. Then he started talking about himself, saying that his son is sick, and he's working as a taxi driver even though he studied to be a doctor in Turkey. "A doctor driving a taxi?..." - please, understand me right .. it's an incredible profession, extremely difficult, and I couldn't wrap my head around why he gave it up 🙄 "Which university did you study at?" - I asked, but he didn't reply. After a few more probing questions, I realized he was trying to squeeze money ou

I finally went out today after hiding from songkran for a few days. just a quick trip to the mall. the ride there was calm, but the way back turned into something stressful. the bike taxi driver picked me up, asked where I was from, then used a translator to say he wanted to charge double. I refused. he got pushy, opened his Instagram, and tried to take pictures of me. it felt awful and threatening. I covered my face, told him firmly — either take me home for the original price or drop me back. he chose to drive me home, but did it fast and carelessly. no helmet, reckless turns. I was scared. I messaged my friends my location and made it home safely. immediately reported it to the app. hoping that’s the end of it. still feel shaky inside.

Tonight was so much fun, after getting off the bus I met up ..

Tonight was so much fun, after getting off the bus I met up ..

The other day I spent an evening with a good friend of mine (let's call her Anna), we went to a movie, then ate at a restaurant and walked around the night city. Amidst a fight with my best friend, it was exactly what I needed. But there was one situation that happened that gave me mixed feelings. We approached a table on the summer veranda at a restaurant, the waitress was next to us. Anna, in a haughty tone, said it would be nice to clean the place up. I didn't understand what she meant, the table was clean. But then I saw a napkin lying under the table. She sat down next to it on the couch, putting her foot on the foot in her high boots, and the girl waiter had to remove the trash right from under her feet. I became very uncomfortable with the situation. On the one hand, I agree that establishments should be clean. But on the other hand, the way She did exactly what She did angered me - in my opinion it was demeaning to the waiter. I didn't say anything (because last time I had a fight with my friend just because of my comments about her behavior)) but now it seems to me that I should have stood up for the waiter's girlfriend. #life #outside #brightlips #jeans #longhair
