From Listvyanka, I start to hitchhike in the direction of Irkutsk. The first car to pass is driven by Andrei who stop for me. Andrei is an amazing man, very interesting and cultivated, he subject is history and he knows a lot about it, would it be the history of Russia, France, or any other country. As I don't have a place to stay for that night he takes me to his home and take a great care of me, taking me around the city on the following day, explaining all the history of it, perfect!
I spend a second night at Sasha and Masha who are friends of Tanya with whom I stayed in Slyudyanka, they are also very interesting as experienced travelers.
From all these people, I get a very warm feeling of this city which I definitely need to visit again :-)
