I'm a simple emigrant and I love breaking stereotypes
Of course, Europe isn't that far from Russia for there to be stereotypes about bears on the street and vodka for breakfast. However, they have their own image of Russians. For example, the most common and closest to the truth is that we don't smile at all. Well, try living in our conditions, I tell them, while I smile at everyone, always. The same goes for reticence, unfriendliness, and the like. All Germans think that for us, especially Siberians, it should never be cold. The fact that there is enormous humidity, the wind that rips you through every crack and seam β it's all not important. At +4 I have to wear a thick sweatshirt, and at +15 I could be in a swimsuit. You should have seen the look on their faces as they ask an absolutely sincere question: what clothes do you even wear in your -30, and we giggle and go Google how to say "dublenka". And I, as a simple emigrant, go in local +10 in the same down jacket as in Tyumen's -20 and hardly feel any difference. #emigrant_happiness
