About the city itself. I can't say that I wanted to move there, but as a tourist I liked it. Walking, low-rise, but with very heavy traffic and heavy traffic jams in the evenings. I liked the logistics, it was the public transport system that was quite convenient in my opinion, and unlike my city, I could walk to the key points where I wanted to go in 40 minutes or an hour. While in Volgograd, I won't even leave my neighborhood during this time because of the length of the city along the river. The center is old, the buildings are many years old, and they are not being demolished because they are essentially architectural monuments from the pre-war era. Of course, there are also new apartment buildings, and some areas are being actively developed, but the vast majority of buildings are low-rise and medium-rise, which makes the city feel less crowded and more pleasant to walk around. I also liked the air, which is lighter and cleaner than in Vlg Where have I been? I managed to visit two exhibitions in different museums, namely, I got acquainted with the history of Kuban during the Second World War and looked at the collection of paintings of the XVI- early XX centuries. Of course, where am I without an art gallery?) I visited a Safari park, looked at different animals and took a break from people. I walked through parks and squares, and of course, in the famous Galitsky Park, it's really beautiful there. I went on an excursion to Adygea, as you can see from the pictures) the mountains are a dump of everything. Very filled that day with some grace, energy, peace and love for life. What do I remember especially? Rain on the first evening when I got off the train and the next two days, adventures with the hotel (there was always some trouble with the room). Coffee on the walk on the first morning there. Trip to the mountains: observation decks, cave, air, road in the bus, cheese tasting. Chistyakovskaya grosh at 9 am and confusion for the rest of the day. 30 thousand steps and the Kuban embankment. Chatting until 4 a.m. waiting for the train at the station. All of this left a warm impression in my memory. In summary, this was my first trip where I was alone. I guess I need to get used to spending so much time alone, but to be honest, I couldn't help but think about how much I would have enjoyed having someone by my side (a friend, parents, or just a close person). In any case, it was a new and memorable experience for me. I am grateful to myself for this. It's a pleasant feeling of growing up, when you earn your own money, make your own decisions, and don't depend on anyone else. That's how it went) Thank you for reading to the end.
