Hi guys!

Long time couldn't see you

We are living and studying in Korea during 3 years

Time goes fast and we didn't notice how fast gone school year.

We had plans attend China (as usual) and Taiwan in this summer, but in May 2012 we were known that we will go to Korea and we decided postpone our trip to Taiwan.

Korea is expensive Asian country and we didn’t know which outlay we would be expected.

July 2011 was contrray with July 2012.

Last year's July was the most hardest for us, but in 2012 it was the happiest month. We attend China. It was half of our summer vacation.

I would like to introduce ferry - destination Russia-Korea-Japan

We come to Korea in delegation of 12 korean teachers on it

It was unusual and special feelings, cuz we never sailing so long- 22 hours, even abroad

Mention below some shots from ferry

Ferry consist of 3 floors with different classes

Some days ago we back to Russia from China.

We spent great 1st half of our vacation there and we ready to show some new shots.

We didn’t waste our time only for shopping and relaxing.

We also had stretch and yoga lessons in our rent house and in the park.

There was beautiful park for rest and walk where simulators for training were also.

        Some days ago we were at the gorgeous Cartier supercenter. It's very huge building with super fashion brands shops. There are so few people, because prices are very very high there, especially For China. The lowest price was 1500 yuan; it’s over than 250 usd. Such price had small and simple blouse.

       The atmosphere was very calm and very favorable there. There were sensations that time has stopped. Finishing facilities are also excellent there. Tile expensive floors were rubbed to a shine. All was aglow inside, including the sellers, everyone was very fashion and beautiful with beautiful hair style and make up. Seller of every boutique welcomed us and invited to come in and try dress up a dress or blouse from a new collection of summer 2012. 

       The smell of luxury was everywhere; the air was saturated by luxury. We were saturated of energy of completely new and very expensive things.

       At such moments, you feel on the giant mountain peak and realize that every person is worthy and can visit such luxury places. We did just first step, we opened the door and went inside, and then we need just dress up thing which we liked, then open the wallet and buy it.

       There are very good quality clothes in Cartier, we touched more expensive items and represented us by wearing those clothes. But we didn’t dare to dress up any thing, because your heart stops when you hold in your hands chiffon dress for 5300 yuan. We sniffed perfumes and saw some lipsticks there. We use expensive cosmetics, but the prices for cosmetics which we usually use was in 4 times more that we bought in Russia. We bought expensive perfume for 820 yuan in May 2012, so purchase of expensive perfume, wasn’t necessary for us.

Yesterday we were at the Carrefour supermarket and bought some grocery things, include meat.

We don’t have oven here and can make fried food because we have proper stove.

We are spent almost 2 weeks in China and I started miss by fried cutlets.

That’s why I decided make dumplings.

I made usual traditional Russian dumplings, like mama taught us, but add Korean spices which we got from Korean noodle.

Today we decided visit another supermarket - Carrefour

There are 5 centres in Haerbin 

We attended this place -->道里区新阳路365号凯旋城购物休闲广场(近红十字中心医院)

We was walking around 30 minutes till place, cuz it's situated close with our area

hello dear friends
today finally we got network in our rented flat in Haerbin, China
we couldn't use internet from 24 of June, because our line was busy
we will try learn chinese themselves throught internet videos of Mike Laoshi
it's great that a lot of ppl all over the world can have lessons at home

Hello dear friends!

We were not able to use internet in our Harbin’s renting flat.

So sad about it, we are very upset.

Btw, we spent good time here. We met with our Russian friend Inessa who has Chinese husband and daughter Liya.

Liya can speak Russian very well. In spite of that fact that she is only 3,5-year girl.

Today pupils were congratulating teachers with womans day

We also got a lot of presents from pupils

It was chocolate, flowers and others, most unpredictable gift- live roses in a pot

Also different soaps, hand cream, shower gel and scrab

Incredible, that pupils want caring of teacher and presenting gifts for boby

Good pupil's mama complained on me to school director about her marks

This girl has excellent marks in all subjects, except my lesson (Korean)

Before 2 days of this situation I was feeling not good presentiment and stone in my heart with dizziness at work place

i was scaring about my nervous and heart, cuz I am calm teacher and try never make high voice to pupils, I am too kind for them

It's not my words, it's words of other teachers

       The 7 of January 2012 it's Christmas celebration in Russia. 

In the hierarchy of celebrations of the Russian Orthodox Church Christmas ranks second after Easter.  In the Orthodox Christmas holiday greeting each other with the words: "Christ is born!", Responding to them - "His Glory."

       A lot of believers were attending temples today all over the Russia.

We too today were attending Orthodox temple.  We got permission to make some shots in temple in such wonderful day.

The temple was decorated by wonderful fir-trees and very beautiful flowers with Christmas toys.
