traveler

I stayed at a hotel "Aerostar", at the hub connecting bus service and airlines. You can check in to any of the city's 5 airports right there and get to the flight on another bus. Don't ask why I ended up there (OK, ask but that's a longer story;). It was perhaps the most surreal travel experience so far. But surreal it was, realizing wild contrasts in a city that claims to be the most expensive anywhere...

That "traveler" here is my cousin Nikolai, walking me to the hotel.
