Good News on FB!

Image
Hey there, Here I am in Moscow, back from Kazakhstan. I liked my trip to Kazakhstan as I met many good people there. Now I'm back home and today I've read a very good post on FB about our noble  cousin  great grand  father Linevich Nikolai Petrovich. It is below in the screenshot I made on FB. Hope you'll like it too:)) Hugs and kisses to all of you.

Astana in mid March!

Image
Hey there. I'm in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. My first impression is - it is very huge with massive construction all around. Mosques and huge buildings make it similar to Dubai, even though I haven't been there. Today I'm flying to Taraz, it's an old and traditional city in the South of the country. Back home - on Monday. Love and hugs to all.

Saying Big Thank You to Sacramento

Image
Hey there, tomorrow we're flying back to LA and then to Moscow. It was a very nice and warm stay here, in Sacramento. Our overall impression is very positive-the city is much smaller than SF and sunnier. The houses are mostly one storey buildings. Olia's restaurant is going to be a success. They both try hard for that. The house and the neighborhood are really good, somewhat remind me Dima's 'Fishers'. Have a look at some pics on Father Pavel's blessing the house and Olia's business. After that Yans and us went to Child' museum. Love and hugs to my dearest:))

First Days at Olia's

Image
We arrived late in the evening after a 13+1 hour flight from Moscow. Now, that we've stayed here for almost 3 days, I can say that I love it. It's in a nice and well groomed neighborhood of Sacramento called Arden Park. So it's very green and quite centrally located area, just 15-20 min drive from the center. The restaurant was opened a week ago, but there were many people when we were there. Yana seems to be happy here and she's a 'sunlight' girl. The pool is big and it would be nice to swim there in summer. Love and hugs to all my nearest:)

Hi there, Here I am, flying back from Camridge to Moscow. It was I nice meeting there with CIU friends and my dearest friend Masha Skhirgailo, who lives in Brighton now. She is an IELTS inspector who travels around the world. She brought me to Cambridge exams and I was very happy to see her there. It was a nice surprise! Love and hugs to all my dearest..

I presented a short talk about my experience in using Google technologies with my students. Here are some shots. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Sasha Smirnov's Club "Golden Knight' of Martial Arts

Image
Hey there, Stasik, my grandson sent me a link to the YouTube video about his father's Sasha Smirnov's role in the Club "Golden Knight' of Martial Arts in New Beliyaevo, Moscow. Sasha has become a great God Believer. Have a look at the video, Sasha appears not at the very beginning.I am very proud of him!! The video is devoted to 40 Martyrs of Sevastiysky, but overall it is about the Club. Love and hugs to you..

Thaw in End of January

Image
Hey there! It's unusually warm in Moscow in the end of January. Even at nights it's +3-4C. So can you imagine the amount of water and dirt on the roads? It's not good along with the influentia epidemic which is getting only stronger. We're at dacha now but this situation will go on within the nearest week. Meanwhile we had Stadik and the family visiting us on Sunday. It was very nice and warm having them and eating grilled fish stakes! Love and hugs to all my nearest:))

Cold and Snowy Moscow!

Image
Hey there. Here we are in Moscow. It's really snowy and cold here. After Vietnam it's a big contrast. I'm sneezing and have some problems with my sore throat, even after one week in Moscow, Hope it goes away soon. Meanwhile we've been to the "Jesus Christ Superstar" 1000th performance at Mossoveta theatre. It was really great and we liked it! Love and hugs to all my nearest and dearest!

Saying Good Bye to Phu Couch!

Image
Hey there, here we are in Vinpearl Phu Couch island, 400km from Cho Chi Minh city. We have stayed here for 12 brilliant days! The weather was so good and sunny, the sea -warm and clear, the sand - white and soft. We have been to Safati (opened December 24) and to boat fishing around small coral islands in southern Phu Couch. It's like paradise for   Kids here, too as there is a big Amusement park near the hotel. Buy to all my nearest and dearest.

Merry Christmas from Ho Chi Minh city!

Hey there, here we are in Ho Chi Ming city on our way to Phu Quoc island. It is close to the Indian Ocean so we hope the weather will be fine.
