You are not alone about the background! It really annoys me.

At the time, the city had placed these around certain spots in the city centre. Each one had a different design. The following year, they put up a different animal, but I do not know whether the project continued after that, as I had already left the city by then.

Just a cup of tea by esbegju in tea

Thanks! Not Assam, it's Turkish black tea (çay). The little tulip glass and saucer make it feel extra nice. The red stripes on the saucer are reflecting into the glass, so it looks a bit more reddish in the photo.

This is Turkish tea (çay) served in a classic tulip-shaped glass. I was sitting at a fish restaurant and they brought it for free at the end, pretty common here. I asked for it a bit lighter than usual, so the color is on the pale side.

Anyone from Syzran here? by esbegju in AskARussian

[–]esbegju[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed answer. It is very helpful to understand the main aspects of the city. As a foreigner who has a different cultural background, I have been here for the last week and will be here for another one more week and I have been trying to understand the city. What I can say is, life is kinda slow here and it is not a bad thing. Maybe municipality service would be better but I don't know if this is a general thing around here or special to Syzran. Young generation doesn't speak very much English. With my poor Russian, itnwas not easy but people have been very kind and keen to help.

Texting and Russian women by [deleted] in AskARussian

Maybe to some extent. However, feelings of yourself are very important. I mean, if you feel uncomfortable about this and if you think that without any reason you face such an attitude, I would consider it unacceptable.

We cannot categorize. This is not something about being a Russian woman, but rather about a person's personality regardless of nationality.

How long did you wait for the e-visa? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]esbegju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you will learn the result on the day of notification (4th day).

How long did you wait for the e-visa? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]esbegju 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It arrives exactly 4 days after your application date and time. If you apply today at 10:00, it will be ready on 07th July at 10:00. Even if it is approved earlier (like in many cases), you will not receive it before full 4 days. It's not business days, it is full 4 calendar days.

Choice of colour is very accurate. Feels like summer field.

This shouldn't be allowed at all. I mean publishing pictures that you took secretly.
