Encountering kindness at Tolstoy's estate after a taste of unusual mineral water

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • In July 2019, the author visited Yasnaya Polyana, Leo Tolstoy’s country house in Russia, with her sister and friend.
  • The trip featured comical language miscommunications, starting with an expensive first-class train ticket purchase.
  • Upon arrival, they ordered water at a local restaurant, only to find it had a bizarre taste reminiscent of something dangerous.
  • After struggling to communicate, a bilingual local kindly explained that they were drinking a traditional Russian mineral water rich in minerals.
  • This explanation alleviated their fears and turned a potentially distressing experience into one of gratitude for the local's help.
