I would be very pleased, if you today, mister Larson, would come home earlier.
Yes.. no, no,, the lights went out in the garage and I almost hit my face.

Yes. Come home earlier today, ok? I'm very bored.
Bye bye.
Why are you laughing?
It sounds so funny when you speak russian.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.
Martin, what does this guy want?
He is trying to speak German, but only in South Afrika people would be able to understand him.
Calm down.. what seems to be the problem?
Oh, you speak Russian so well!
I'm a gifted girl..
Where are you from?
I'm from Leningrad.
And you are from Sweden?
Yes, something of the kind.
What street are you from?
You probably don't know.. Dibenko street
Number?
What does it matter?
Just curious..
The number is 32?
Yes..
So, it's because of you that I could never reach my building normally!
Was parking his truck occupying the whole road, as if he was the only person in town.
From the Soviet Union we are exporting wood, georgian wine, polyethylene, peat.
But from you we are importing metal powder, rear windows with heating for Ladas,
Safety belts, parts for volvo trucks, beer, cigarettes and some similar stuff.
Do you often come to Sweden?
Around 20 times per year.
Can you imagine, me and Viktor lived in the same building in Leningrad!
Yes, do you remember, we could hardly come into our building because of his truck.
Excuse me, I have to go.
I have to be in Gothenburg very soon.
Wait a moment.. wait please.
Would you like...
No, thanks.
The bag is for my mother and there is something in it for Lyalka.
And now.. what size does your wife have?
I have no idea. Why?
What does she look like? Thin, thick, tall, short?
She is like you.
So wonderful!
Here are trousers. I bought them recently and did not yet wear them.
I feel embarassed.
You are so silly and you are having cold years.
Why do you have to spend your small amounts of currency all here, when for me it is no problem at all?
Well, I understand that illegal sellers in Leningrad sell all of this as well, but they charge much more for it.
And this shirt. Ok?
Imagine,. when she will put everything on!
Yes, in the Soviet Union it is impossible to buy it.. take it, Viktor.
Keep it.
I will follow him.
Bye bye.. thank you.
Tell me, how do you like it here?
Your Swede seems to be a decent guy.
Give that bag to my mother and tell her that everything is very good with me.
Why aren't you eating anything?
On my new job, they raised my salary.
Edinka.. so now we can afford a tour to the Soviet Union.
Maybe it would be better for us to make some more payments for our house?
No, no we already putting it off for a long time, our trip to Leningrad.
We could have gone to the Soviet Union if we hadn't bought a car for you.
Oh my God.. but I was hoping so much..
And one more thing..
It is not pleasant for me to tell you, but I should.
I asked you not to invite strangers into our house.
Not all of us can understand your russian soul.
This is true.
You are right.
As if it is not nice to invite people to your place, in your country.
At home in Leningrad I wouldn't even have thought twice about whether I should invite someone to my place or not.
You are wild.
To hell with all your national traditions.
You know what? You have your own national traditions, and I have my own.
Your tradition is not to save money.
You are spending too much money.
Am I?
Yes. But you should count the money.
Your salary per month is more than 20.000 crowns. Is it little?
Ok, I will explain you now.
First, more than half of my salary goes to taxes.
Then part of it is spent for food.
Every month we are paying a certain amount for
