An enormous space free of people. For Japan, where there is no free meter and the Japanese are accustomed to such narrowness - it is just an impossible fantasy!

We had an English woman. Real from Oxford. I taught English to students. Most of the "coming" came from other cities.
One day, she asked who came from.
One young man says:
I live close to Tomsk, only 300 kilometers away.
She was surprised, because by the standards of their islands it is almost half the country.
But what is far away?
“And far away – it’s in Kamchatka,” said another student and described in detail how he gets there.
