Dinner

Grateful

Late dinner in Tambov, we arrived here around midnight, but the restaurant in the hotel was still open. We were the only guests; we drank wine and vodka. I said: “I still have to work, a couple of days already I try to convince you guys that I’d love to arrive earlier in the hotel, but to no avail.”
My travel companion said: “Be grateful that we still found a place where we could eat.”
Then I realized that those people who travel to Afghanistan should be grateful for everything and I shut up.
