11 a.m. - Hostel kitchen

• Preparing to go to the library. Drinking tea in the kitchen. Alex gives me a pizza slice.

11.15 a.m. - Library

• Talking with the entrance security guard. He recognises me, because he was there last few days. He friendly talks to me. It's hard to understand, but when he talks slowly, in short phrases, I kind of get it.

11.31 a.m. - =

• Sitting at one of the desks. I had a little paper to fill (writing my name on it). Yesterday evening, some students were talking about french. Maybe can I be useful somehow.

11.45 a.m. - =

• Researching "urban anthropology", Ulf Hannerz, Prado and Prato.
• Downloading Baidu maps, and comparing it with 2GIS, confirming my past reflection about Chinese and Russian maps. They respectively have almost no information about what is on the other river.

1.10 p.m. - Free Time fast food

• I see four sportsmen with Russian flags on their teeshirts. I can read "Russian Federation","Sport team". Their body make me think about wrestlers. So I research if there is some kind of competition in the area. There is.

1.37 p.m. - =

• I now have a routine: Library, fast food, library. I still have a lot of time in the morning and the evenings.

5.22 p.m. - Break in front of the library

• Drinking juice in front of the library. Thinking about the answer I'll give to an open call for an article.

6.29 p.m. - Library

• Reading mails.

1.08 a.m. - Hostel Bedroom

• Meeting a group of young guys from Tadjikistan. They are here to attend the event that is taking place in the library. One of them is called Yakoub | Якуб. He is a twenty year old student engineer, interested in drones. He asks if I support LGBT community, if I drink, if I do drugs, if I am married. We joke and talk about what is dark humor, and we discuss over the uses of the word "nigger | негр". It's an interesting and cordial conversation. We plan to meet at the event tomorrow.
