THE ACKNOWLEGED MASTERS OF EPISTOLARY GENRE: Dikina from Bukovel


  Dear Maria,

I am on a holiday in Slavskoe, if it can be called a holiday and I arrived here four days ago. I have never seen such nasty people, terrible service, the hotel like from horror movies and other shocking things. We are staying at a “five-star” hotel with my mother, outside it looks like an abandoned house, there is no heating and we have to be all the time dressed in a warm jackets, the toilet is outside and right next to the forest. The weather is awful: incredibly cold, blizzard, strong wind that blows the roof off small houses. We are in mountains that’s why we need to go up every day in lifts which are very old and broken and we cannot be sure that we won’t fall and be broken. We have already been skiing and we don’t want any more because the ski tracks were very crooked and there was a lot of rubbish.

Three days ago, while I was were skiing, something terrible began and it was an avalanche, I grabbed the tree and survived. It is disgusting because we weren’t even warned about possible natural disasters. Luckily I was saved!

Local people like everyone around were evil ignoramuses, shopping wasn’t successful because the variety of goods was small, no entertainment, but only one restaurant-eatery and the dishes were cold and in the soup the fly was swimming.

Mary, I really miss you, I would rather end this hell and see right now all my friends.

Hope to see you soon,
Anhelina
