Dear all, here I am in Moscow again after many examining trips around Russia. I really enjoy travelling, so I don't want to complain. There were ups and downs in my trips, as usual, but generally these trips were exciting and memorable. I'll describe them one by one. 17/18 May - Saratow, just after coming back from Vietnam. It was nice and well organised, thanks to Barbara Danshina, the local woman in charge. The Volga river there is very wide and we even enjoyed sailing a jet boat belonging to Barbara's family. See some pictures above. 23-26 May - Omsk. It's a beutuful Russian city in Siberia, close to Kazakhstan. It's full of old buildings and houses, many theatres and cafes with relatively good food and prices. The main church has been restored there and now it dominates over the city centre. Their major Saint is St. Silvester who was tortured and murdered in 1920. The remains of his body is kept inside the church in regarder as a shrine. Have a look and go
