i have no words... Had a lot of thoughts on the way back home, truly think this tour really worth it, and have so many feelings and experiences to show you. Russia, is a so called ‘ combat nation ‘ country. To me, the former impressions of Russian people are cold，serious and old-colored. But during those two weeks, I feet totally different things. The volunteers, the pretty Russian boys and girls accompanied us from the bank of Volga river to wall of the kremlin; from the Matryoshka factory to the hockey game; from the museums to the picnic... You are so catty and knowledgeable, as long as patience. I have so many wonderful experiences to recall and so many gratitude to express. You guys would keep our habits in mind and prepared fantastic gifts, took us to Azerbaijan restaurant and showed us the local traditions, helping us to order the meal and take the Uber. You were so active in the class and always encouraged us to have a try. And of course we talked about our world ,our countries, our cities, our families, futures , love and dreams.
I’ll remember all of you: Kristina, MariaNi, Alyona，Lola, Kseniia, Pasha, zhanna, lena，Steva，Professor Olga , Max, Gulash and Nastya, it's so excellent to make friends with you all. Hopefully we can keep in touch and meet u again in China .❤️
About Nizhniy Novgorod, a charming city
Which is perfect to live in. With the beautiful Volga river and Oka river, this city has the greatest sun set and comfortable living conditions . Though Nizhny is not as fancy as New York or Paris, still has its own wonderful style . As the third capital of Russia, Nizhny doesn’t have many foreign faces, but everyone here were nice and kind. I till remember that a granny in her 80s moved her legs towards us just to show her kindness, the taxi driver kept taking to us in Russian even if we couldn’t understand a word, or when I faced a drunk man on the bus, another young man gave me his seat and told me to relax... It’s just a two weeks staying, but gave me a period of unforgettable memory. This is a impressive summer school, I never want to say goodbye.
Of course, I won’t forget all the walking we took, those were the best of the best.
Oh, one more thing, if any of you come to China , chongqing especially, just contact me, and u will have a trip without problems.
Nizhnit,looking forward to meet u again.
And u, I shall never forget. ❤️
