not the craziest story.

I was getting driven from nayagan back to raduzhny in siberia. First off, the driving in russia is exactly what the videos show, it is crazy. There was a lada passing us going over 100km/h on the shoulder of the road, which was get sand, it was impressive, only to be trumped by them than turning into oncoming traffic to pass the next truck. at another point the center line of the highway was gone due to construction for about 10 km. The one lane each way suddenly turned into 4 vehicle across, like it was actually the line holding the cars in the right spot of the road.
Anyways, on the drive back I fell asleep in the car and woke up suddenly with the car hitting the ditch at high speed and the brakes being slammed on. I almost slam into the dashboard. Scared the hell out of me, I look over at the driven who with a deadpan face just says to me in broken english " I want to buy and watermelon". Sure enough there was a semi on the side of the road from the black sea region, selling watermelons. Maybe I should have bought some, but I was probably too scared to think in that moment.
