The museum is nice, the owner-turned-guide is a concoction of a shrew and a harridan
House-Museum of Grigoriy Rasputin的点评
点评:We went for the pre-planned and pre-paid tour of the place in April. It was a minibus trip.
The museum's collection is rich, logical, well thought out, and meticulously structured. Marina the owner who played hostess made an informative an hour-and-a-half presentation but behaved so rambunctiously that we were afraid at times she'd maul us in her excitement. The tour wrapped up quite peacefully, however, so all's well that ends well.
Here are a few tips that might be of help. 1. Make sure to schedule the visit at least two weeks in advance. 2. Bring an interpreter if you're not a fluent Russian speaker. 3. Switch off your iPhone before you reach the territory adjacent to the house. Don't even consider turning it on until you've left the entire area. Doing so could endanger your health since Ma'am Marina will go full tonto, blow a fuse, and raise all hell. 4. Be ready for a frequent high pitched, sporadically acerbic, and generally aggressive narration in Russian. 5. If you have any questions, ask them circumspectly, wait until her "Sturm und Drang" is over, and pick your words really warily. 6. Always be on alert.
If you follow these simple precautions, you'll return back home safe and sound.
So, as you see, the adventure is not for the faint-hearted.
翻译:四月份,我们参加了事先计划好并预付费的参观。乘坐的是小巴。
博物馆藏品丰富,逻辑清晰,构思巧妙,结构严谨。博物馆馆长玛丽娜(Marina)担任女主人,她做了一个半小时的内容详尽的讲解,但她有时表现得过于粗暴,我们甚至担心她会因为兴奋而打我们。不过,这次参观最终还是比较平静的,所以一切顺利,结局圆满。
以下是一些可能有用的建议。1. 确保至少提前两周安排参观。2. 如果您不会说流利的俄语,请带上一名翻译。3. 在到达房屋附近区域之前,请关闭您的iPhone。在您离开整个区域之前,千万不要考虑打开它。这样做可能会危害您的健康,因为玛丽娜女士会勃然大怒,大发雷霆,然后大吵大闹。 4. 准备好迎接她用俄语频繁高亢、偶尔尖刻、通常带有攻击性的叙述。5. 如果你有任何问题,请谨慎提问,等她“狂飙突进”结束后再问,并且要非常谨慎地选择措辞。6. 时刻保持警惕。
如果你遵循这些简单的预防措施,你就能安全回家。
所以,正如你所见,这场冒险并不适合胆小的人。
