Crossing Russian boarder

At 14:40 local time, the bus stopped its engine at the boarder between Estonia and Russia. Our passports are taken to be stamped or more seriously, checked. everybody is waiting, waiting to move on in their own mood. 

This is the 2nd time I have my passport checked. The last time was before entering dresden, Germany. That was pretty fast and easy. This time I think we have to wait for quite awhile. 

It seems the bus is full of Russians, I couldn't tell where they come from originally by appearance, but at least i know that they speak Russian, including the driver. Throughout the journey so far, not a word in English is heard. I am a bit worry if Russians speak English? The owner of the hostel in Tallinn has already warned me that Russians don't speak much English. I could be in trouble. 

Nevertheless, i couldn't not miss the unesco list of St Petersburg especially when it's only 8 hours away from Tallinn. 

I don't know what sort of people are on the bus, but they seems all quite serious. Not much smile at all. I can sort of feel the tension between the east and the west if I put myself into the Cold War time.
