Hey, hey!!

Yesterday I came back from Russia. I had a very great time spending with my mother and sister there. We were there about 2,5 weeks and I think, only such long time helps people come closer. For example, me and my sister.. we always had conflicts... this time in Russia showed us that we are sisters and we have to be together and help each other. Often, people said that we are like twins, despite the fact that I am older.

When we came to Russia, we were in st.Petersburg and in Kirov, where lives my grandmother and cousins. I always admire how beautiful is Petersburg, especially the architecture that preserved since the eighteenth century. We were in Hermitage and in Russian Museum... I just have no words how to describe the feeling when You stand before the real painting of Picasso, Monet, Aivazovsky and Brjullov... You just have to be there to understand it.

When we were in Kirov there was so warm weather- about +36 degrees.. From one hand, that is very good weather for tanning, but when You need to sit in a train about 24 hours just to go from st.Petersburg to Kirov and there is not conditioners, that is horrible... But what was the greatest thing for me that when You sit in a little bus(if You have to go to the city center, for example) and everyone talks in Your mother tongue- Russian.. not like in my country where almost all people talks in Estonian language.

Moreover, I understood that when You are for so long time in the other country, that is the best time for rethinking Your life. In my head there were many thoughts about the future: what will I do tomorrow, what do I want to achieve in my life and sometimes I asked myself- is this the right way how I live? Maybe something is wrong and that because I cannot achieve something I really need... that is strange feeling when You are alone with Your thoughts that sometimes make You want to escape.

P.S. I had taken many photos of these wonderful places, I promise I will put them here in DeviantArt too.

Hope, You have a great and sunny summer too. If You wish, You can write about Your own rests to the other countries and share with me.

With best wishes,
Olja
