Irkutsk

18 July

Day 235: Irkutsk

Today I finally went to die my hair, after 2 months of Chinese-Mongolian lack of communication :D

The hairdressers in Russia are not so cheap…actually in Russian nothing is cheap, however people salaries are really low. There are very rich people and there are poor people, middle class practically doesn’t exist, especially out of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Ok, so for the die and haircut I paid 1200 rubles (around 30 euros), but frankly quality was good and I was pretty happy with the result :D

Today we organized CS meeting in Irkutsk, and went to one of the pubs, called Liverpool. We were 6: us, Kostya, Manuel and two other girls from CS: Ana and Lera.

After drinking two beers each in Liverpool (0.5 beer for 150 rubles – almost 4 euros), we have decided this place is not for us :D We hit supermarket, bought cheap beers and then were drinking beers on the grass in the park :D

and these are our new friends:

Manuel!
