Finally Russia granted us the visa.  But entering Russia was still a onerous task to us.  There must have hundreds of visitors stuffed in the small and creaky waiting room of Russian custom, queueing up before only three lines for getting passed through the inspection.  Not exaggeratingly, each visitor had to stand in front of the counter, waiting for officers' inefficient checking, for an average of five minutes before his or her entrance permitted.  Even worse, almost every visitor was blind and dumb there because no Russian official can speak Mandarin, nor any announcement was interpreted into Chinese, not even into English.  How was that happened?  I guessed that (1) Deep down, Russians don't welcome visitors or foreign trades from outside. (2) They are arrogant, and they despise foreigners, especially Chinese.  (3) They don't have enough money to improve the facilities.  I didn't know what the actual reason was; anyway, we spent hours in that cramped room before we were able to breathe fresh air again. 

Eventually we entered into Russia, but unpleasant experience continued.  The bus took us riding on a long, winding and craggy road before we reached our final destination:  Vladivostok(a.k.a Haisenwei in Chinese).  It was late then, though the Sun had yet to set in the west.  The tour guide took us to an erotic show which included strip teases and live sex.  To be frank with you, we didn't feel excited at all during the show because it had been a hard day's night for the old fellows like us .  See you tomorrow.

P.S.  About 80% of the vehicles here are designed to set the driver's seat on right, and the minority of 20% are on left.  But must all the vehicles keep on right instead of on left.  Kind of strange, isn't it?
