Hitchhike: сарапул, Meeting ex KGB Officer

The next morning, we went to сарапул. This city is located at the south of Izhevsk. This city is kind of far. We agreed to meet at the южная автостанция at 10.30 am. The weather was not very nice. It was cloudy, cold and kind of dark. I even brought umbrella in case it would be raining.

And it was. hehehe. When we started to hitchhike, the day started drizzling. We were kind of worried since we haven't got any ride. Then, Rinat said we needed to walk further. There is a T-junction ahead. We crossed it and waited.

Around 45 minutes, there was a car stopped for us. Rinat had a talk with him and he gave me a sign to get in the car. First thing first of hitchhiking is talk to the driver and be as friendly as possible. Though I dont speak Russian, I can mark up some words.

The driver is kind of old, I bet he has some grandchildren. From what I understand, they talked about me, where I am from and what I was doing in Izhevsk.

What shocked me is the driver was an KGB

HITCHHIKING: воткиск

Yeah, you are right. HITCHHIKE. Hitchhiking base on wikipedia is a transportation that gained by asking people, usually stranger, for a ride. Yep, stranger. I had this experience with my buddy, Rinat. He has visited seven countries by hitchhiking. IT IS AWESOME!!!!

So, here is the story. It was Friday. I needed to but the train ticket from Izhevsk to Moscow. At first, I wanted to leave on Tuesday,  27 May. When were lining up to buy the ticket, I was doubt to leave on Tuesday or Wednesday. He suddenly asked me what I would do on Monday. I said nothing particular except packing. And he asked further, whether I went to the job. I said, no. Today was the last day. Then, he asked again, what I would do in Moscow. I explained to him that I would meet my Indonesian friend and go for sightseeing. He surprised me by saying this, well, if you dont mind, we can go to Votkinsk on
