Now I T R I E D to Go to the Market Down South to Buy a Large Bag
I need it, so I could finally throw away my large, Coffee-coloured trolly suitcase. I can no longer bare the sight of that suitcase, it... reminds me of... stuff. Stuff I'd much rather forget.
Anyway, took a monith sheruth (they do exist here in Belarus, in a pretty large number) number 51, from the bus stop nearby to a street next to that market.
And, right before reaching that bus stop, plus soon after I took off and walked to my destination, I slipped and fell. Twice!!
It isn't Snow - walking on Snow is no big deal! It's just like walking on sand, only white and cold; pretty neat, in fact, as long as you're not in a hurry. No, as the temperatures have, sadly, grew warmer (it was 3° when I went out), the sidewalks are now covered with the most slippery combination of water, and ice.
Lots of people, mostly old people at this time of day, I saw walking by, totally normally - well, they have been used to it their entire Lives, they know Snow and ice, they eat Snow and ice, they breath Snow and ice, literally from the very moment they were born!! But, for me - it is still a very new experience and I have not really found my footing just yet.
So, bloody hell, after the second falling I just took a taxi back here to my Hotel, and here I will stay, up until the minute I shall have to leave, sadly in two days time, to [...to be disclosed later on... to tell, if you already know!!].
