Surgut is very special...

Hey there. Now I can say that Surgut where I was with CIU on CAE session did not disappoint me, unlike Kemerovo, which appeared to be pretty impersonal and freezing. Surgut was unusually clean, modern, energetic and relatively warm (15-16C) where sunny spells were really nice. I was impressed by their very modern Surgut university with a fabulous library and good facilities. Churches of old and new Surgut impressed me too. Have a look at some pics. Love and hugs to all...

Oh, I must say time is really flying here. We're leaving for Hanoi tomorrow and tonight I'm sending the last post from this splendid but a bit weird place - Long Hai (a tiny village near our hotel). The thing is that here I really first realized what the tropical climate is like: sudden downpours, sunny spells, thick fogs, starless nights and the last but not least - sand bugs, Yes, they are microscopic, living on sand and flying only to eat human body ( I've been eaten all over while lying on the beach with a book). Now my body is spotted and no ointment helps to stop itching. I had no such problems during my previous visits so I guess the very southern part of Vietnam is not really good for me.

It's different from N...

Dear all. I've been greatly impressed by my trip to Diveevo, though it was not easy to do so many things within two days we had there, and almost no sleep at all. However, it's said that "What you do in the name of God will be rewarded". Perhaps, this saying is very, very true as Marina's - my daughter, and my energy throughout this trip was unending. Now I want to publish some photos that show the mistery and the mightiness of the Russian Holy Land - Diveevo. Mind, that the big tree in one of the pictures was planted by Saint Aleksey, the son of the Russian Tsar Nicolos II. The Tsar's family frequently visited Diveevo before Revolution in October 1917 for advice and worshipping. The tree has a small inscription on the stem about the Prince. Strange as it may seem, but the tree is really very different from other trees there as if it has been accumulating energy for almost 100 years, when it was planted and now it is very strong and healthy. The famous Holy ...
