October 4th | 4 octobre

1.40 p.m. - Hostel

• Online research about cargo boats and international shipping logistics.
• Looking at videos of a "world traveller." I compare how they experience and present their trip to what I do here. It seems that we don't do the same thing. That is reassuring.

3.p.m. - Free Time fast food - Lenina avenue

• Reading Emails.
• Making plans.

Later - Walking toward East Blagovechtchensk

• I walk toward the bridge Youri indicated me. Near it, their should be a cold water swimming club.
• In the street I see other men with army design outfit. A "Z" on a billboard, designed out of the orange and black commemorative ribbon.
• They are some dogs in the streets. They seem to be walking around freely. They are ringed.
• I take weird path, and follow rail tracks. I get near the water. It is not clear.
• I see barges (small version of shipping container) on the Zeya River. I try to spot the barge on a sea scanner application. Can't find it.
• There is a used box of fireworks. So, here is the kind of place where the "Salutes" are fired almost every night.
• A well-dressed guy smoking by his black car.
• I am under the bridge Youri indicated. No indications about a swimming club on Yandex Maps. I walk South, following the river. I see a fisherman. And two people apparently making a water quality reading.
• A dog barks at me for tree minutes. It makes me feel very suspect. A man comes and tells me I am not supposed to be here. I comprehensively agree and ask him about a swimming club that might be nearby. He points at a wooden house with flags twenty meeters away. His face relaxes, and he shows me the way out.
• The dog keeps barking until I start speaking french to him: "Hey, c'est bon, on se connait maintenant, on est potes, alors pourquoi tu gueules?". He walks away.
• I find the club I am looking for. Closed. According to Yuri, it's open on Thursdays Saturdays and Sundays.

• Going back to hostel.
• I see interesting wooden houses with low windows.

10.40 p.m. - Hostel

• Research about international logistics, container shipping and leasing.
• Watching a movie with Luda.
