But last Monday, when I got to Beijing station, it was too late. How was the railway station? S: Noisy. /Lots of people. T: Yes, and it was big, black and dark. Suddenly I found two foreigners. They didn’t know the way to somewhere. So I came up to them and said in English: What can I do for u, sir? But they didn’t understand me. I repeated my question several times not only very slowly but clearly as well. But they still shook their heads. I wonder why they didn’t answer me? Do you know why? Haha , you are clever. But later I got the answer. They don’t speak English. They speak Russian. Today’s story is something like this.
