Awful Flight to Ho Shi Min City

Hey there, I was unable to post any earlier as we had such an awful flight from Moscow that it really took us quite a while to recover. The point is that we were supposed to take off on December 26 but appolling weather conditions prevented us from this. It was a kind of snowy rain or blizzard that resulted in devastating almost all our airports. Domodedovo airport was cut off electricity, Sheremetievo was stopped for the reasons of black ice on runways and the only airport that remained alive was Vnukovo. Our flight landed there, although it was supposed to do so at Domodedovo and this saved our New Year holiday. We were delayed by 15 hours but eventually took off from Vnukovo and 10 hours later arrived to Ho Shi Min city at 11:30pm. There we stayed at the hotel and at 7am left for Nha Trang by the local aircraft. You can imagine how tired we were at the end. But this is nothing compared with the situation in which thousands of Russian passangers got. I mean those who tried to fly t

'Usual Miracle' at 'Dubrovka' Concert Hall

Image
It was so nice to see 'Usual Miracle', a musical and beautiful love story at Dubrovka concert hall yesterday. It was on the day of massive public unrest in Moscow with nationalists and milicia conflicts all over the centre of Moscow, so we had to go there on metro. This is a notorious concert hall that was taken control of by Chechen terrorists in October 2004. There were 800 people there at that time and many of them died.The terrorists kept people as hostages for 2 days then a gas attack was undertaken by the army forces and many people were freed. Now there is a memorial for those who died there but the hall itself is still very popular. We were there for the first time and I took some photos of the place. Anyway, I felt a bit uneasy there, but the music and acting were perfect. Got back home only late at night as traffic jams were awful all day and night... Bye for now...

Saratov exams

Image
Hey there, It was quite a while since I last was in Saratov, but this city is, probably, written on my life books. So I went there again examining from YLE to FCE. It was pretty cold there but when I was leaving (on December 4) it was raining! The train to and from Saratov is quite comfortable so I did sleep there but had no chance to go to the theatre in Saratov and it's a pity as it's supposed to be very good. We have many leading actors here in Moscow who came from Saratov. The exam girls took me to the exhibition of theatrical decorations and arts. There was an unexpectedly good and rich collection dating back to the late 19th, early 20th century. It came from S-Petersburg's private fund and the exhibits were a real surprise for me. Well, Stanislaw was ill last week after China as he got back on the coldest day with -20C and waited for his chauffeur to pick him up from the airport. Today he has been to work but still weak and coughing. Love to all of you my dearest...
