Khabarovsk on May 29

Image
Hey there, here I am in the Far East, the town of Khabarovsk. I arrived at 8am after 7:30 hours flight from Moscow. I didn't sleep but had 3 cups of coffee so I did not feel tired. But now I'm at the hotel  Olympic at Dilopoltsev street. It's very good and just in the centre. The city is fabulous, with theigjty Amur River that looks like the sea. There is a lot of greenery- parks, flowers, churches. Hope to come here again! Love and hugs toy dearest!!!

Tbilisi May 23

Hey there, My trip to Tbilisi this time has been very productive. Nanushka, Nino and I went to  the so-called 'Ubani area' of the old Tbilisi. The smell of Sulphur is very strong there as there are and have always been Turkish baths. We enjoyed the splendid veiws around the cafe. Have a look..Love and hugs!

Kostroma, Ipatievsky Monastery

Image
Hey there, here I am in Kostroma, hotel Snegurochka. I'm here for two days, examining at the local gymnasium. The city is really typically Russian and beautiful. What I like here is the old style in the whole city and no ugly skyscrapers like in Moscow. There are 2 rivers - Volga and Kostroma. The monasteries and old churches are almost everywhere. Good to see all this! Love and hugs to all my nearest.

Victory Day in Turkey!

Image
Hey there. 9 days in Turkey have passed so quickly and we're leaving for Mosvow tomorrow. The Victory Day in Russia was great! We watched parade on TV and liked it very much. Our stay here was very exciting as almost every day we had professional performances on the stage at the hotel hall. So we enjoyed every moment of it. The weather was sunny and good too. Love and hugs to all my nearest!

Papillon Hotel in Turkey

Image
Hey there. Here we're in Turkey, Papillon hotel near the small town of Belek. It' only 45km from Antalya and it's one of the best 5star hotels in the area. The weather is sunny but with a cool wind so swimming in the sea doesn't seem to be pleasant. We swam in the pool and it was fine. Hope to try the sea a bit later when temperatures go up to 26-28C. Now it's only 22-24. Sharing with you some pics. Love and hugs to ally nearest:)

Wonderful film about our life...

Saratov - 'Atlas'

Image
Hey there. It was my last April assignment to Saratov for 'Atlas' Language centre with very nice Natalia Karpova, CEM. I waste at the station and spent a day observing TKT. It was useful and interesting as I saw some funny things there. The city of Saratov was beautiful, as usual. On Thursday we're leaving for Turkey. Looking forward to it...Love and hugs to all.

Novokuznetsk in mid- April'2015

Image
Hey there, I'm here on COU assignment but I lived in this city for one year (1965) with Nun Anna ( Irene), Michael and Dima who was 6 years old then. Now the city is also beautiful but with all the attributes of modern life - IT shops, Supetmarkets, Adverts and so on all around. I could remember prospect Metallurgov and the Park Metsllurgov, but failed to find 'Suntekhprpwct', where Irena and Michael worked. Then I found it on the 3d floor of a shopping centre, It's s pity! Love and hugs to all my nearest!!
