So yesterday igor and i decided to make an investigation of the famous hyde park (or gaid park as it is in russian) so off we went. Of course, as soon as we got off the bus at the correct stop, the sky turned ominously black and it started pouring. Amazing how that always happens, especially in england. So we waited under an awning until the rain stopped (as it did after 10 minutes) and then we headed for the great park. The place is huge, it just seemed to go on and on. We went to speakers corner to listen to the various debates, most of which seemed to focus on islam. I was pretty impressed, the speakers had an amazing ability to twist any arguement around to their side. Their were obviously very skilled debators, and i imagine they were even paid to be there. one of them announced that the quran forbade the killing of all women and children. I told igor to watch out: as a man he apparently doesnt enjoy allah’s immunity.
There were a large number of muslim ladies all around the park dressed completely in black from head to toe, with only their eyes showing, and sometimes even these were covered with dark glasses. They were often with each other, or with children, but rarely with men i noticed. We checked out diana’s memorial garden which i thought was pretty ugly. I dont know how they managed to spend 3 million pounds on that!
Afterwards we did as russians do: we bought a bottle of alcohol and drank in the park. At one point a park worker walked up to us and said “ukrainia ili rossia?” after answering his query, we established that he was from warsaw.
