Odessa and New year 2014!

Image
Hey there, here we are in Odessa, Ukraine, and New year is coming very soon. We arrived on Dec 29 and have been living in Fontain 11 area, but still within the city. It's a beautiful city with many historic sights dating back to 17th century. Though it's cold here, about 0C and windy, we swim in the pool and went sightseeing. Have a look at some pics we made here. My very best wishes to all my friends and relation, we remember you and love you:)) PS Dear Lin Michel from Hainan, we love you, our Chinese daughter and hope you'll come and stay with us in Moscow. Drop us a line, thanks for New year greetings:))

Yaroslavl and Choboksary and more

Hey, here I am, alive and kicking dispite some bad things that have occured in my life since December 13, Friday. On this day Marina and I went together to Yaroslawl to collect Nun Anna'a annual pension for 2013. Quite a lot of money. We stayed at Ibis hotel, just in the centre, as in 2012. In the morning we went to Sberbank and got the money with no problems. After that we dropped in 'Rostov Fenift' shoip on Kirova street and I bought New year gifts for Olia and myself. Then we decided to go to Tolgsky monastery near Yaroslawl and took a taxi to drive there. It was very nice there, we walked, observed, took pics. Then in the evening we got back to Moscow by train and I reached Preobrazhenskaya metro at 11:20pm. I was walking very fast from metro to my house when I was attacked from behind by someone who hit me on the head and started to stifle me on the neck. I fainted and when I got back - no iPhone, no bag with all the money and docs, nothing... The rest of this story I

Izhevsk & Voronezh

Hey there, Today, Dec 1 I got back from 2-day long train trip to Voronezh. A week ago there was same visit to Izhevsk (24 Nov) where I stayed for one night at Park Inn hotel and travelled there by plane. Both visits were a success (TKT and CAE/CPE). Voronezh is really good old Russian city on the bank of a lake. Made some pics:)
