Awesome story about a Frenchman and our distance

Great Russia. Very large. So that leads to a real surprise for our foreign guests! The website publishes a nice story of life.



Told friend works in the oil industry is the driver of the jeep. Urgently needed to meet a foreign specialist, decided to do it on the car.

Met at the airport Narimanov of Astrakhan city and taken to the Tengiz field in Kazakhstan.

The road passes through the city of Atyrau. Together with a translator met the Frenchman and luck. Went from Astrakhan, started steppe landscapes.

I must say that this road — steppe, and therefore is poor in visual effects. The Frenchman rocked. Go hour, two, three... the Frenchman opened his eyes — almost there? In order not to upset him say Yes, they say, will soon. On the fourth hour, while the Frenchman slept, flew to Atyrau, and went on a good road to Tengiz.

From Astrakhan to Atyrau, 350 km From Atyrau to Tengiz — 320. Stopped in the desert to eat at a cafe. The Frenchman muttered something, the interpreter is clearly soothed. Went on. The same endless steppe landscape...

And then the French blew up: "Where's the city?!!! Where any city? You then build a city?! Where are you taking me 8 hours?!" He began to calm down. The translator explained: it appears the Frenchman is afraid of long distances. He mutters that during this time, if you go in one direction, we would have traveled the whole of France, and here, and the city did not get!!!

Tired and stunned the Frenchman passed the evening...
