  • Went to a sale at Olimpiyskiy, bought three shirts, accidentally walked out with a fourth one for free. It was hanging on the outside of my backpack, and nobody said a word! The sellers were a meter away, the guards too, and my friend was actually walking right behind me. No one noticed. I'm a ninja, a master of disguise!

Instantly lost the urge to buy everything in sight, because in a foreign currency you can't adequately grasp the cost, even if you convert it in your head. But this way you immediately think: "holy crap, that's a lot to ask for a piece of junk." Even if it's a pretty piece of junk, and you really want it.

Итак, после финиша девушки вешали медаль на грудь, затем можно было пойти взять свою законную кашу и варьенье. Бренды скажу, раз уж они участвуют в таком хорошем деле, как спонсорство - Axa и Pure. Последняя вообще нынче на слуху, ибо одна из немногих компаний, кто удачно работает на экспорт и объёмы его растут каждый год. Про Axa сказать нечего - каши из пакетиков у них невкусные, ну так у кого они вкусные?
