I TOOK A SWEATY TRAIN RIDE

We were in Tomsk and then we went to Tyumen
There we went to a McDonalds
and I took a bus ride really far to exchange a broken camera

Then we looked at all the pretty things
like these old houses
and
this bridge where people did that thing where
they put locks on it when they get married to symbolize their love

Ten hours after getting there we left there
fifty hours to Volgagrad
where I sweated a lot and we went to the restaurant car to play cards
a drunk man named Dima harrassed us and it was annoying
then this guy said ‘I don’t like Americans’
I said ‘ok, good’

In a way I’ve really stopped caring about how other people feel about me

Private bus to Elista
So hot
So much Mongolian culture
cause some nomads moved here
and then they were exiled by Stalin
then they came back
here students have to study chess in school

I like how nice everyone is
Kalmik doughnuts and dancing
and a story about stolen cheese

The girls are very pretty and I like to look at them in their summer clothes
like sundresses
