Since I’ve finished my master degree, I just wanted to do a legalization for my diploma. Lucky, there is a place where I can do it near my house.  So I used my opportunity at lunch time week day I went there.

↑The place is located in a quiet place. I think people never know what are they doing in this building. The cats were welcome to me in the entrance))

↑ This is the entrance. The people who can get in was limited. If there are many people, you have to wait outside while your line comes.

Actually, I could enter without reservation. Inside the office was only 2 people. It was while based room, the atmosphere was inorganic. I was little bit worried about whether I brought all necessary documents or not. But it was okay. People who is working there also not so bad. They was very business attitude, no punish.

Interestingly, the legalization will be done in 40 days. I received the number which I can track on the internet, but it doesn’t work… I will track on the phone, more  later..

↑After finished to submit the documents, backing at home, water man clean up the road. Passenger can be wet because the man spreads out the water.

↑ Working time of Legalization center.

Let’s see how it will be done in a month.

前回の記事（→「いつも美しいです」07/30/2020）にも書きましたが、ロシア人のコロナ感染に対する態度は、私の周りをみると適当だなーと思います。私の友達は今年は暑くいい夏なので、もう色々なところへ行きたくてワクワク、家にじっとして入れられなく「遊びに行こうよ〜！」と何度もお誘いの連絡きました。

彼女はモスクワは飽き、地方都市への遠出旅行に夢中になって、寝台電車で行こうよ〜行ってきたよ〜と連絡くれるのですが、私はどうも３密をやぶる寝台電車での旅行は嫌ですね。

何か「寝台電車はコロナ感染しやすい」という記事がないか探していましたが、それらしきものをやっと見つけました。ただ「寝台電車がコロナ感染で危ない」と直接的な書き方をする記事は全然見当たららず、「寝台電車は色々なばい菌がたくさん」という間接的なものだったら、いくつかみつけられたので、これは鉄道会社への配慮をした政治的な理由があるのか、それともロシア人自体があまり清潔ということを気にしないのか？、よく分かりません。（すごく暑くなると汚いモスクワ川で泳ぐ人もたくさんいるし、多分いろんな免疫が既についているのだといつも思う。。）

今回、該当した内容の記事が書いてあったのはこちら↓

「列車が換気規則に違反、車内がウィルスの繁殖地となる（1520. 鉄道ぜんぶについて、2月）」Проводники поездов нарушают инструкции по вентиляции, из-за этого вагоны становятся рассадником вирусов: https://zen.yandex.ru/media/1520/provodniki-poezdov-narushaiut-instrukcii-po-ventiliacii-izza-etogo-vagony-stanoviatsia-rassadnikom-virusov-5e525a7a11638a2a18c14f1f

今月のニュースで、列車のばい菌について特集していた映像はこちら↓

寝台電車は国土が広いロシアで一般に使われていてます。全然知らない人たちが同じ車両の空間をシェアーするし、飛行機のように換気も完璧じゃないし、車体も古いものだから、そりゃ、感染リスクは大きくなりますよね。

先週、たまたま家の近所に住んでいる中国人のクラスメートと、公園でぶらぶらしました。彼女はロシア人みたいに「わ〜い！、遊ぶぞ夏だ〜」というのは全くなく、なるだけ感染のリスクを減らすように人混みは避ける、無理な行動はしない、というのが考えでした。それぞれが、どのくらいコロナ感染予防対策を気に留めるとか、お上のことを聞き入れるかなどの度合いは、大学で勉強したホフステッド指数が結構顕著に現れてくるのかなって思いました。

I thought that the summer has finished after July 13, but it’s still there!! This week became hot weather again. There were very heavy thunders yesterday, but after the bunch of water, today is clear sky and hot summer.

Essentially, we have to put the mask on in the public places or shopping market, but really, no one put it on…. In the metro, of course no masks,,, in the shopping mall, of curse no…

That was funny that I saw today that security man who’s usually standing in front of the entrance, whispering “put the mask , put the mask (ностите маск)”. Really, he was whispering just close to my ears…. There was different security man on the different line. He looks very tough guy, was shouted the people who are entering the shopping mall without masks “PUT THE MASK ON!!”.

Last week, the daughter of my friend came to Moscow from other city of Russia by airline. She said that there were full of people in the airplane and airport. After hearing this fact, the news showed the situation of Moscow airport. The screen shows that so many people with kids or family group in the airport for having summer vacation inside Russia. The Russian resort area is also many people, of course they don’t put the mask, thousand of people in the buffet no social distance.

This is the situation surrounding the COVID-19 here. It looks like there is no virus anymore in summer.

After the lockdown, I see a lot of the advisements “Retail Space Available ” around my house, like Vkus Bill (grocery shop), Photo magazine, etc.   I saw that several retail shops or cafes can’t open after lifting restriction.

The local news say that about 80% of Moscow restraints will open after the restriction on June 23rd.  This number is slightly different  72% of Evator research company.

By the end of 2020, the share of vacant space in shopping centers will be 13-15%, as predicte an analyst. Anyway, many shops face to close their shops. We are watching this reality already now

Today it was held the Victory parade which would be held on 9 May.

I didn’t check that they did something with weather to be sunny. Anyway it was a nice sunny day. I saw the airshow. It always makes me surprised and really impressive every time.

Moscow mayor recommended seeing the parade at home through the TV. Despite that,  I saw people watch the procession in the city center. Also I saw that audience in red square were difficult to keep the social distance.. It is true that usually, Moscovich tends to spend the holiday of Victory day outside of the country. Due to the expansion of coronavirus, many Moscovichs had a chance to see Victory parade on the live broadcast. Especially this year was 75th anniversary, the parade was enthusiastic. Moreover, it was a big event for Russian people and the parade could not be held in May because of the Covid-19, actually, many people were disappointed. I thought that they cerebrate too exaggeratedly, but this year, I thought that it is good things that people never forget WWII.  Living there for a long time, I already memorize the Victory days songs.. Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, son, daughter, grandson, daughter, everybody participates in this event since they were little.

I met cashier with an angry woman for the first time in ages today. It was in the electric shop in Citylink. Although today is a weekday, there were quite enough people in the shop evening. The moment I stopped by the checkout counter with my order number, she said to me “Chto (what)? “. For me what is what? I am coming here to buy your product! I want to pay! She was doing something with price tags, maybe she was busy with multi-tasks, but it is not an attitude for the client who readies to pay…

This unpleasant cashier can be observed especially before, well let say Soviet time.  They tended to show the attitude that they took the trouble to sell it to the client. “If you want to buy, take it but it not of my business”. But now, there are many people who educated what is business is, understand what service is.

When I saw the cashier like today, I always say in my head ” Welcome back to the Soviet Union! “

今日はとっても暑かったです〜

本当の夏が来ましたね。

ヤンデックス（日本でいうYAHOO検索サイトみたいなもの）をみると、なぜかモスクワ市の交通渋滞度が７とか８の赤信号マークなのです。そんなに人が外に出ているのかと思ったら、今日は延期になった戦勝記念日のリハーサルで、主要な道路が閉鎖されていたのですね。こんな暑い中、タンカーに乗っている兵隊さんたちはマスクをして、これまた暑そう。今日なんか、公園はマスクと手袋している人は全然見かけませんでしたね。日本も今暑いと聞きますが、炎天下でマスクと手袋をしているのはかなりキツイし、自然の法則に逆らっているとも、、思われます。。。

昨日は、カフェやレストランが外のテラスに限ってオープンし始めました。今日なんか、まさしくテラス日和。オープンの昨日は、カフェの前に列ができていました。しかし、あんなに直射日光浴びて、肌に悪くないかなとも、思ってしまいましたが、１年の半分が冬だから、この時期の太陽光はこちらの人たちには貴重なのですね。

あとでニュースをみたら、なんと今日は３０度ぐらいあったみたい。この暑さは１８７９年以来とも、１９５６年以来とも言われていて、それはそれは暑いなっと納得。実は１０年前にもこんな感じで暑い夏があって、しかもその時は郊外で森林火災なんかもあって、市内まで淀んだ空気がこもって大変だった年を思い出しました。
