Dialogue with a friend (P) from Moscow.
Q: I’m about to quit smoking. Really expensive "pleasure": for cigarette money you can fly to Riga once every 2 months. Or Vilnius, or Tallinn, or Warsaw...
I: I hardly smoke.
Q: Why are you not in Riga yet?
I: To get out of Tomsk, you will have to stop drinking.
I: And there is.
