group of Russian girls and a Ukrainian guy
A family - brother, sister, half-sister waiting
for their brother to finish his military service. They (as well as their friends) were surprised
to meet a USian because Vaasa is a small Finnish city, not a tourist attraction at all. They were
even more confused when I told them I could speak Swedish. Their friends later came and asked if
I could buy a gun easily in the US.
What else would you do at 23.00 at a bus station?
