"Genuine
system administrator. Stingy, sarcastic, facetious. Personality: nasty.
Maintains steady relations with coworkers (i.e. annoying users), as
possible within limits of sysadmin’s patience.
Tends to misanthropy.
Merciless anyone who opposes to his opinion. No compromising data or
affairs on record".
"...Contracted
addiction to traveling in 1999 during the trip to Egypt. Significant
exacerbation noted after Paris visit. Journey to Prague has proven the
disease to be incurable. Current status: in remission. Tends, however,
to have violent relapses, notable for deranged behavior when the patient
suddenly takes off and rushes to the Land of Far Far away.
No chances for
cure..."
Not so flattering, but
true. Now about the disease sequelae in brief. Communicating via the
Internet I spotted numerous other patients. Furthermore similar symptoms
were discovered, and I realized that life is easier in the company of
those who suffer from the same. Since then I actively contribute to the
work of several travelers’ sites.
A question can be posed
by different ways, but in order to expedite the issues, use
vazlav@list.ru The owner of this account will benevolently accept
questions, requests, mutually profitable offers. I will try to help to
the best of my abilities – by advice, link, or kind encouragement at
least.
Same address may be
used for sending thanks, praises, laudations of all kind. Under no
circumstances this address may be used for any complaints, remarks,
pointing out incorrectness of “you missed there a comma” type, or like
”you called El Escurial the ‘Royal’ tomb, whereas not only kings are
buried there, but also dukes, counts, infants and dauphines in
quantities unmentioned. So, the owner of this address urges the senders
of all these negative mails to shove the down you-know-what instead of
sending them.
By the way, no matter
what has been said, it seems to me that our own travel agencies can
improve dramatically if properly disciplined. I even accept the
probability of the existence of several agencies who would attempt to
change my opinion by inviting me to have a thoroughly prepared,
meticulously planned and exceptionally well organized tour, even it was
all done for advertisement purposes. As to myself, I solemnly promise
to find and pinpoint all the misses and shortcomings of that tour, and
in case of their miraculous absence TO PROCLAIM LOUDLY AND PROUDLY that
in Russia there ARE able, thoughtful, skilled and attentive to customers
travel agencies!
