And here I
am.. standing in a crowded hall, sorrounded by other travellers like me.
In this set
made of luggage, people, shops and cafes, we are the bored and sleppy component.
In this
confined space everyone is in waiting. We will all leave sooner or later.
My train to
San Petersburg should arrive in half an hour or so. I am quite exicted.. I need
a break from Moscow
There is a
massive screen facing the main entrance. It broadcasts-in loop, the future of
Russian railways according to the present government (Medvedev + Putin). It
looks promising.. but it also looks very much like propaganda to me.
Later on,
on the train, when it had just departed:
“Leaving
always fills me up with a sense of peace and calm. The feeling of satisfaction
is suddenly overwhelming. What surprises me is that I always manage to forget
what it feels like…”
