Work in London

I have a very simple story and when I recall it I get very fun.
Seven years back, I managed to come to England for a 3-month English language course on a student visa.
I think, you understand, a young Russian guy from a poor family, decided to stay here.
I tried to look for a job, but I had a visa without the right to work, so for 2 months of searching I could not find anything.
I did not worry much, lived in a student dormitory, received a high scholarship of £500.
In general, I it.

The easy life is over. The student was polite and the scholarship ended. Then came a big, untouched...a. Well, I did not despair and continued to look for a job, in the internet cafe I was given the phone of Yasha and told that he has great connections, he will help.
I called, answered the “Russian” guy with a strong accent, said that it will definitely help, but warned that it might need money.
I didn’t care, the money was over, and I didn’t want to go home at all. No one was waiting for me there.
I met, I was Yasha, a big, black guy with honest eyes. I agreed that I would be able to work on a car washer for £5 an hour, because I have a weak English for now.
I was in the seventh sky of happiness.
Well, then you know, Yasha, said he didn’t need anything, but the people who arranged needed nothing more than £500, and then he asked me to make a discount, and so they asked for £1500.
I gave the money without thinking, Yasha gave me the address, and also helped buy a ticket for the bus, as the washing machine was 4 hours from London.
I will reduce the details, I came, there is no car washing machine, Yasha does not answer, there is no more money and no one to ask.
Thank God, later everything went well, I have been working for 3 years, I live in a good apartment, I go to the gym.
The story could have ended if it had not been an interesting event that fate pleased me a month ago.

I came after the office, into the hall, changed clothes, broke up, went out to the ring, we had a sparring on Wednesday. A casual sparring partner comes out on the ring.
It is Yasha.

If I am a boxer.
In general, the money came back, and Yasha was slightly sick.
