This is based on some local website reviews, personal research and subjective/professional point of view. On the image I share, I show an example of a better urba…

• Unexpected Pleasures

  …e. That is a lil' bit obvious, but you get upset when something doesn’t go the way you have planned. That is quite odd, because the things are going their own way, the world spins around the sun, not around a human being, so why plan too much and make too many expectations? I don't want to be misunderstood, I'm not pretending to be a broken man without any expectatio…

Keep both: the youth inside and the endeavour to have a personal growth. Nevertheless, I am blaming the people whose mind is too closed for something new. We live in 2017, the era of maximum available inform…

• Hello, world!

  …a short intro, there shall be more words about it, but I don't want to focus on studies now. Outside the University, there are plenty of things that I am interested in. For instance, I am interested in cars starting from my early childhood. I've learned about twenty car brands at the age of four, had a collection of car models and even had my own kart (which I am …

For instance, it seems to me to be a little more challenging, which may lead to achieving higher results. German education in the branch of engineering is considered to be one of the best in the wo…

One example is "Брынза" (Brynza), which specializes in chebureki, deep-fried flat meat pies that come in a semicircular form. Chebureki is a national dish of the Crimean Tatars and very po…

  …Indeed, in St. Petersburg there are several theatres that offer ballet performances throughout the year, as I learned after my arrival. The most famous of them must be the Mariinsky theatre, but it isn’t the only one. So far I have seen two ballets in two different theatres, so I can proudly call myself a frequent visitor! The ballet performances themselves are amaz…
