Hi everyone, I would love to write my reasons on why Russia is my dream destination. Are you ready?

The Vast History

Yes, its history fascinates me, especially about the Romanov. The 1997 animated feature Anastasia got me interested in Russian history, and I was very blessed to study more about the Romanov and the Soviet Union later on!

The Architecture

I adore the architect of their historical sites, especially in both Moscow and St. Petersburg. If Peter the Great did not make St. Petersburg Russia's Venice, the city will be depressing and unattractive!

The Music

Both classical and local music have been very popular in the country, Tchaikovsky's music especially his ballet fascinates me since watching Sleeping Beauty. There was a number on Riverdance where they perform their local dance in it!

Thank You Russia

So, I hope that this country will help you for those who haven't been like myself!

Georgia intends to disrupt the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014. Georgia plans to prepare an address from Georgian refugees in Abkhazia to the International Olympic Committee. With the help of international organizations, Georgia hopes to prove that the Olympic Games in Sochi may damage the ecological situation in Georgia.

This Article doesn't belong to me. It was from a russian news letter.

I can't wait to see the winter Olympics now. It's going to be great since it's going to be in russia. Maybe i'll go to Russia to see it instead of wacthing it on t.v like i always do.
