Farewell letter

Today is high time to finish my blog and to say goodbye! I am really sure that someone even more exciting will take my place and will share all the important things he/she has!

I hope that you have found my articles helpful, interesting and, at least, not very boring :) I really tried to share with you some ideas which you may use during your stay in Berlin and just some experience from my life!

In the end I would like to wish you to take your time in Berlin and to take everything from your life!

Use your chance to travel throughout Europe! Now you have a great opportunity and very useful facilities for that, for example, advanced European transport infrastructure and Airbnb accommodation. Visit other European countries (France, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, etc) also!

Do try to use your stay to learn German! It is really crucial to know this language to survive in Berlin J That goal still remains as one of the most important for me as well. And the reason for that is the following: the German language may help you with better understanding of the German culture and with finding new friends in Berlin (as well as all over German, Austria and Switzerland). Moreover, during learning German at DeutschAkademie you may find new friends all over the world (for example, from Ecuador, Peru, the United Kingdom, Albania and so on)!

I know for sure that here you will gain lots of fun, great life-experience and new exciting impressions!

Good luck to everyone of you!

The Victory Day

On the 9th of May the Victory Day took place all over the world! It is a very important day in history of humankind due it is the sign of the II World War end. I felt very happy to be on this date in Berlin, in the city where everything was over!

In Russia we have an event on the Victory Day which is called “The Immortal Regiment” when a lot of people meet together in a particular place with portraits of their family members which participated in military actions of the II World War on the side of Soviet Union. People walk through the cities and carry these photos in memory of those who had fallen in battle thus creating real regiment of soldiers. This event is held all over Russia in different cities and, of course, mainly in Moscow. It gathers and unites thousands of people in such a big day!

How I was surprised when I knew that local government in Berlin allowed Russians to hold this event on the Victory Day! There were about 700 people going from the Brandenburg Gate through Tiergarten to the Soviet War Memorial, holding portraits of their family members, listening to the victory songs and placing flowers nearby this memorial! The Sun was shining and the atmosphere was really calm – everything was okay.
