"Your roads are worse than in Africa!": American woman sparks row on Moscow bus The driver's response stunned her
American Sarah screamed about bad roads until the driver made a move she didn't expect.
Sarah first came to Russia expecting to see broken roads, dirty streets and poor infrastructure. However, Moscow surprised her with cleanliness, convenient transport and well-maintained public spaces, writes Zen channel “Talking about education”.
The conflict occurred the next day, when Sarah went to one of the sleeping areas of the capital. After the rain, there were puddles in the yards. Seeing the condition of the road, the American was outraged and said that Russian roads are worse than African. She demanded to stop the bus, but the driver did not argue and continued to move.
Soon the bus drove through a large puddle, the water rose to the windows and the passengers laughed. Sarah was silent for the rest of the trip. Later, she was told that it was wrong to judge the state of roads in one yard.
Over the next few days, the American visited the subway, walked through parks and visited shops. She was surprised by the cleanliness of public places, the convenience of urban transport and the willingness of local residents to help. Many of the original ideas about Russia have changed.
Before leaving, Sarah admitted that reality was not what she imagined. This story shows how personal experiences can change a person’s mind, although problems with roads and infrastructure in Russian cities remain.
