Being multilingual helps to see multiple perspectives when things develop by the hour. #Lithuania and #Poland were going full quarantine with stuff closed. #Russia and #Belarus were more or less "uhh... what's pandemia". /4
so TL;DR: - we went to Marseille before all pandemy saga got real - we could not change our flights or buy new really - then our flight got cancelled and the airline or the agency were in full WFH chill Meaning this morning we had a puzzle: how to move ourselves from MRS to STO

Airlines change their flights as they want, since in pandemy EU261 or any insurance, frankly, doesn't work. New tickets within EU are 300-500EUR and you're lucky to pay it since nobody knows which borders close next and which flights gonna happen. /15

In Marseille today the bus drivers were isolated from the salon with a STOP line. People enter through the exit doors. Metro is functional. All eateries are take-away only. Supermarkets has lines outside so there's not too much people in. We managed to get to MRS airport /16

Most cafes are closed. No tables to seat for those open. Some staff wear masks. People run around shouting and trying to get tickets. A lady in front of us got a BA ticket to LHR for 500EUR right after she had got FR ticket for a flight that got cancelled. /17

Ah no. Not end. We've landed in ARN and were about to get checked, disinfected and put to whatever quarantine possible. Instead we just went out, hopped on a bus and are going home now. Guess Vikings know the secret of immortality.
