Sibe nale ndawo kusukela ngo-1984. Bese kuthi mina nomyeni wami uBenno Belchikov, ophinde abe ngumkhiqizi wami, sathenga umhlaba emaphethelweni eTallinn. Ngaleso sikhathi kwakukhona indawo eyihlane ngokuphelele - ulwandle, ihlathi. Ngisho nangaphambi kwalokho, ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-12, ipulazi elincane lase-Estonia lalikhona lapha. Endaweni yendlu yethu bekukhona insimu lapho bekugoqwa khona amatshe angenasidingo amashumi eminyaka. Lapho sisusa indawo, sisuse amaloli ayi-10 (!) Okulahla isiza endaweni. Kwakunzima ukucabanga ukuthi sizobhekana kanjani nokwakhiwa kwendlu, phela sasijikeleza izinyanga ezingama-500 ngonyaka. Ngiyakhumbula ukuthi ngaqunga isibindi ngaya ekomidini elikhulu ledolobha. Ngicele ukushintshanisa lo mhlaba nefulethi elinamakamelo amabili ngithole elinye elinamakamelo amane. Nginqatshiwe. Futhi ngesimo esinzima kangangokuba ngaze ngakhala izinyembezi. Ngangiqinisekile ukuthi iziphathimandla zizosisekela: kanye nethimba leNemo, silethe imali enhle ezweni. Kepha bekungenjalo, benginqatshelwe ukwenza lokhu kushintshana. Kodwa-ke, manje sengibonga ukudalelwa ukuthi isicelo sami asigcwalisekanga. Ngemuva kwakho konke, manje sesiphila njengenganekwane: kusuka endlini yethu kuye ogwini lolwandle amamitha ayi-7, kukhona ipaki kazwelonke ezungeze, ngisho nempophoma iseduze. Futhi ngasikhathi sinye, kuthatha kuphela imizuzu engu-XNUMX ukufika enkabeni yeTallinn ngemoto. Akuyona yini injabulo leyo!
