July's memories

Hello my readers :)!!!
Hope, you liked my previous story about Nice and Eze and learnt a lot of interesting information!
Today my story will be about Monaco! Visiting Monaco was one of my treasured dream!!! And I'm glad to tell you about my amazing impressions about this fantastic country!!!
The Chapter 4. Monaco
The 4th of July my mother and I were happy to visit one of the most fashionable countries of the world. The Principality of Monaco is a sovereign city state on the French Riviera.It is bordered on the three sides by France. The way from France to Monaco wasn't long and tired. The views of sea and  hills were amazing!!! This day sun wasn't shining, temperature wasn't high, so we could saw everything without any problems. One of the most interesting moments was that the roads of Monaco were made from tile. Yes, the tile's road is the first difference from the roads of France. All streets of Monaco had these strong roads. 
Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, it has several parts. There are so many buildings, and the territory is so small, that local residents have to live on area, which was made by themselves.One of the most famous places is Monte Carlo, the principal residence and resort area with the Monte Carlo Casino. This casino is really beautiful, and then I saw it, I thought that it was unreal, like fake, maybe. The building of Casino was rich and glamourous. The Hotel de Paris, that was situated just near the Casino, was marvellous, as well. And the boutiques with luxury jewellery were perfect!
Monaco is famous for its Formula One Monaco Grand Prix. Our bus was travelling by one of its ways. My mom and I saw one of the most difficult turns for the competitors of Grand Prix. 
The most beautiful part of Monaco is garden, which situated just near the Oceanographic Museum. This garden has flowers and trees from different parts of the world. For example, it had a small poud with famous japanese carps. Well, I hadn't seen so many interesting unusual plants before. They were very nice!!!
In my previous story I wrote about the yachts in Nice, but Monaco had the yachts, as well. I saw 2, really big yachts in Monaco. The 2nd of July was the marriage of the Prince of Monaco,that's why, it was the yachts of marriage's guests. It's a happiness to see them!!!
To be honest, I understand that Monaco is a fantastic dream!!!

July's memories

Good evening everyone :)!!!
How are you? How are you spending your holidays? Do you enjoy it? Hope this summer is one of the best in your life :)!
Today I want to continue my story about my vocation to the French Mediterranean sea. Hope you'll enjoy it!
The Chapter 3. Interesting things about Nice and Eze
On the 2nd day of our trip we had an excursion in Nice and Eze, a small village, not far from the city of Nice. This excursion was really interesting and enjoyable, because of good weather, beautiful views and interesting stories.
One of the most interesting things was the hotel Negresco! It's the most fashionable, beautiful and popular hotel in Nice. It's white with the red roof and green decoration things, like the marvellous houses of 19th century. The hotel Negresco is situated on the side opposite the Mediterranean. The English Promenade had a special way for bycicles, many beautiful palm trees, what's why lots of families like to spend free time there (jogging, walking, bycicle walking and so on).
In 19th century, the russian liked to visit and spend free time in Nice, because of a really good climate, that's why the Russian decided to build St. Nichola's Russian Orthodox Cathedral. It's the largest Russian Orthodox outside Russia. This Cathedral is really amazing, and looks like Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
When we were travelling by bus to the Eze, we saw lots of white yachts. Nice is famous for the bays and its yachts. Well, there were charming small and big yachts. We saw a very beautiful view of a bay with the yachts. The Eze wasn't far from Nice. Eze is famous for the Fragonard perfume factory and the gorgeous views of Mediterranean sea. This Fragonard perfume factory is famous for the soaps, creams and other things for shower. After the excursion we went to the Italian cafe and taste the pizza. Oh, it was the most tasty pizza in my life!!!
I loved The French Riviera at first sight!!!

July's memories

Hello, everyone :)!
Hope, you were glad to read my first small story about the trip to the French coast. It wasn't big, but I think you understood how wonderful these places are!!! Today I would like to continue my blog story, and it will  be about my first impressions about really nice city - Nice!
The Chapter 2. First impressions about Nice
After 2 hours transefing from the airport we arrived to the capital of French Mediterranean coast! It was Nice! Such a  beautiful place!!! There were many amazing white houses, great hotels, awesome parks, and the sea! Yes, the sea was really charming! It had a wonderful colour!
Our hotel was near the sea, so after the transfering we went to the English Promenade. It's the main promenade (very famous for the English rich, who liked walking there in the 19th century) along the Mediterranean in Nice. Firstly, my mom and I were very hungry, so we decided to go the cafe. After a little time, we found a small Italian cafe with the russian menu. The main dish of Nice was the Nice's salad with anchovies. It was really delicious!!! I liked it very much! And drinks, like coca-cola and juices, were much better in Europe! It's true!!! Then, we had a little walking in the main  place - the Place Massena. It has one of the most famous shops, the Gallery Lafayette. Of course, there were many small shops with interesting souvenirs, famous brand clothes, perfume and so on.
This day  the weather, unsurprisingly, wasn't very good. There are lots of dark clouds! But, I decided, that a week is a very small period of time, so I had to go swim. My mother didn't want to go swimming, but I persuaded her. The water was very warm and very salty! This sea is much more salty than the Black sea. But the most unusual thing was the palm trees. I had never seen them before, that's why it was a great pleasure for me! They were so high!!! To tell the truth, these trees ad been brought from other countries, but Nice had a perfect climate, that's why there were so many palm trees in Nice.
It was our first day! We had many impressions, but these impressions were great!!!

July's memories

Hello, my readers :)!
Today, I want to tell you about my the most interesting July's trip to the French Mediterranean coast !!! My story has lots of interesting parts and you can read it in my blog! Hope you'll like it!!! And some day you'll visit these incredible places!!!
The Chapter 1. Italy
First of all, I have to say, that my mother and I decided that one summer week we spent in France, because last year we were in Paris, the capital of France. It was great!!! I like Paris very much! It's really beautiful and such a romantic city! Of course, I'll tell you my impressions some day! So we liked France and hoped, that we'll visit it again! This year we got this chance, but this time we wanted to go to the south of France!
The 2nd of July my mother and I had arrived by the plane to the Genoa airport,that is situated in Italy, not France. But Italy and France are close located. The Genoa airport is very small, and it is situated in the west of the city. The airport serves the Port of Genoa and it constructed on artificial peninsula. From the plane I saw lots of nice landscapes. But the most beautiful things were the Mediterranean sea and the mountains, rehaps the Alps. After the registration, we went to the bus and had 2 hours trip to the Nice, the capital of the French Mediterranean coast.  To be honest, this trip wasn't very easy, because we got tired. But the landscapes very amazing!!! The sea was really beautiful, it has very interesting colour - azure, like blue and green colour are together!!! Small villages are so cute because their houses are white and the roofs are red. There are lots of places with the tasty grape, charming flowers and high trees. The mountains had different forms!!! It's really beautiful!!! Hope then you will be there you'll agree with me!!!

June's memories

Good afternoon :)!!!
Sorry for not writing earlier! To be honest, I don't have creative inspiration. But nowdays try to tell you interesting news!!! So, let's start!
Now I'm officially second year student!!! I'm so happy, because I had  many difficult exams, espeсially Japanese and English!!!! They are the most important for me, and ,surprisingly, I liked the process of taking them. So I passed 6 exams and I was really really happy. By the way, at Japanese exam I tell my Kinoshita sensei about my travel by train to Feodosia(nowdays, I live there)!!! I told him about Tula, Kursk and Belgorod. He liked my story! Then I read a very interesting story about the company with the the motto ''It's time to work''! The workers of this company can't have a coffee, can't talk, can't copy, can't go to the toilets when they work. It's really strange,isn't it? But the most interesting, that this company is really famous and has a great success. Yes, the Japanese are great workers and very clever!!!
Well, I understand that I need to review my English and Japanese!!! :)
