The country I was born

Since I came to Canada, people often ask me about country where I'm from - about Kyrgyzstan or official Kyrgyz Republic. Unfortunately most people don't know a lot about this country and many people don't know where it is. Probably it is because our country achieved independence only twenty five years ago and government thinks more about political situation and economy and doesn't pay attention to tourism. In my blog I want to show a little photo-presentation of the Kyrgyzstan, place where I was born and grew up.

Kyrgyzstan located in Central Asia and bordered by China to the east. Official languages - kyrgyz and russian.

The mountainous region of the Tian Shan, covers over 80% of the country.

Issyk-Kul Lake in the north-eastern Tian Shan is the largest lake in Kyrgyzstan and the second largest mountain lake in the world.

 Bishkek is the capital and the largest city of Kyrgyzstan.

Children's Festival in Granville Island

Today I want to share with my experience of volunteering in Vancouver Children's Festival in Granville Island on 31th of May.
Children Festival happens every year, and thousand people comes to look and take part on it. Moreover it needs a lot of volunteers, so I decided to be a volunteer in this Festival.
I arrived at 1.00 pm, sighed in and tried to find my classmates which worked from morning but volunteer's team leader said me that they needn't help and gave me another work. I was a little bit confused because I planed to join my team, I did not know anybody in the Festival. Nevertheless I gathered myself and decided to keep going and doing my work as well as I can. I met interesting people who were students of Fraser University, they helped me with my volunteer's job and practicing my English.
I got experience of working with children at Spin Art Bicycle, we helped kids to create their own pictures and had a lot of fun together.

Letter of complaint

Dear Ms. Miller,

I writing this letter to complain about unhealthy food on Pizza Day.

My children and I love the Pizza Day very much, because this day provide a lot of fun. And the only things that I can not agree is that your school gives children too much doughnuts and sugary drinks to go with the pizza. Although my children like doughnuts and sugary drinks, it is not healthy food for them.
I would appreciate it if you could promote a healthier example to your school. And, If you have enough time we can meet with another parents and discuss what kind of activities we can do for our children together.

Best regards,
Olga M.

Russian adventure

My beautiful trip to Russia in the beginning of the August, 2012.

I had only 7 days to visit the two most famous Russian cities and meet my relatives. First of all, I made a list of places that I wanted to see. I was heading off to see St.Petersburg. This is one of the most interesting cities of Russia, which keeps a lot of secrets of history. There are many museums, exhibitions and theaters which I visited. It was an out of this world experience for me! But not all of my journey was wonderful -- I had bad impressions too! When I arrived in a small provincial city I had to stay in a hotel. It was really awful! The room was filthy and there were a lot of bugs inside. I was angry and went to administration to give them a piece of my mind, but they didn't do anything! By the end of my trip I'd had enough. I missed my family very much.

But in spite of that, I plan another visit to Russia for next few years.

 Petergof. It was a summer residence of Russian Emperors.
