I'm a simple emigrant and I love it when the streets of the city are clean

I read Varlamov’s article about housing in Novosibirsk here in my spare time, and I paid attention not to the buildings themselves, but to the mess that’s going on around them. Everywhere there’s “open” ground, dirt, the absence of roads or at least sidewalks. I imagine what would happen to the shoes and trousers of the person who passed there. And so it is in many places in Russia in general. I don’t know why; I’m not an expert, but I do know that as soon as spring begins, from my home in Tyumen to the bus stop I can only wade. Here, on the way to work, I pass by two very large construction sites and two road repair sites. First, one of them was finished very quickly; I simply don’t know when the others started. Second, although the area I walk through isn’t considered super advanced, there is absolute cleanliness in any weather here. Snow, rain, sun — always clean, even on stretches of the route with construction. No slush, mud, sand, or just dirt. You can calmly walk in street shoes into the office and those awful marks don’t stay on you, the ones you constantly want to wipe away with a mop. I would add this to the list of big pluses :) #frankfurt
