Sergei Lukyanenko. Last Patrol (№ 347600)

- ... You know when you come to Russia from Western Europe, is also frown, saying that you have dirty everywhere. But dirty is not because it isn't clean! In Russia, the other soils, more erosion of the land, in the air this dust and it settles everywhere. Washed the sidewalk with soap and water, so in Europe it will stay clean, except that the piece of paper the wind will bring. And in Russia, though tongue lick the dust in an hour will settle again. In Asia, dust even more, so the Europeans and the Russians saying, "Dirt, ignorance, savagery!" Not true! Just a terrain like that! In Asia, if it smells good - it's not dirt. In Asia you have to believe no eyes, and nose!
- Curious... Never thought about it. Perhaps that is why in the East people's eyes are narrow, but large noses?
