Day 3 - Random Conversation

This takes place in a travel agency which has the word 'Bialarus' on the window in big white letters.  A woman is sitting at the far end of the darkened interior.
Nick: Do you speak English?
Woman: shakes head.
Kate (in Russian): Do you speak Russian?
Woman: nods head.  Rest of conversation in Russian.
Kate: Do you have any information about Belarus?
Woman: No.  We have no information about Belarus.  [Relenting slightly.] What is it you want to know?
Kate: Do you have a map of Minsk?
Woman: No.  [Pause] Try a map shop.
Kate: Where is such a shop?
Woman: shrugs.
