On Tuesday we had some time to rest in the morning. Alexander picked us up about 11 AM and we went to have some breakfast. At 12 AM We went to the Ivanovo textile fare a very large building with close to a hundred small shops for different textiles garments etc.
After that we visited the sowing factory of Elena. Her company Carusell makes clothes beddings etc. for new-born children. She employs around 50 people and has one factory and three shops. The company also distributes to other clients around the region.
Then we went to Ruslan’s pasta factory Bostis. The factory was now taking a pause in production due to high material and low end product prices. This usually varied over the year and a production stop was not strange. Ruslan is currently looking for new machines in China to build a fully automated production line with low manual labour.
After a short rest we went to the Opera. Christan’s host-mother Vera is one of the best and most merited opera singers in Russia. She has won several international prices. This was her first performance in the Ivanovo region for a very long time (She has been involved in local politics etc.) so there was a very big crowd and the opera performance was a smashing success.
We then met up with some new friends we have met here in Ivanovo and had a great dinner followed by some bowling. Anders showed some real talent and won the series with 50 points to the second runner up.
