Novosibirsk, Russian Federaration - 2nd January 2008

This time we went to another park. It's in the center of Novosibirsk and it's very beautiful. It was snowing heavily and all the fir trees were covered with white fluffy snow.
I've seen a birdhouse on a tree. I'm sure birds will love to settle down here in spring.

Then I've seen a sample of the local urban art - there was a graffity stone in the park. You can see it in the first picture below.
And there was a bench that declared that this city is the best on the Earth. Sometimes I believe this is true

Here you can see a gift from Armenians to the Russian Orthodox Church. It's very beautiful.
And below is my photo with a local fifing snowman. He was playing so nice, and his music was so vivid that I closed my eyes and listened carefully!

Yeasterday we've been to a concert in Academgorodok (this is a district of Novosibirsk city). The club is called Kapkan (A Trap) but is looks chinese inside. The atmosphere is rather good and I can say that I liked it. We've made several photos of me in the place.

As we were with a band that was going to appear before the footlights we had guitars with us and I was even allowed to play one. However it was too big for me and I just listened.
Unfortunetely it was dark in the club to make photoes of the band so please enjoy photoes of me and this nice guitar and me with a boutle of champaign called Russian No. 1. I swear I didn't drink!

And after the club we went to a coffee house. It was absolutely empty except for us so I looked out of the window and watched sparks outside. It was bautiful as any other city at night.

It's very cold outside so when we go out we run very fast not to turn into ice! However we've been to a coffe house today. It's called Traveler's Coffee. I've tested the local variants of latte and cherry mocco. Very delicious!

It's still very cold outside, about 23-27 C below zero. So we don't walk very often or just run very quickly. However today we've been to an artist's studio. It was great - nice pictures all around, graphic art, wash drawings, pastels, oil paintings. I liked potraits most of all.
Besides the artist (her name's Natasha) plays the piano. Here you can see a Russian piano named Berezka (Birch-Tree), it's old but rather honorouble and sounds wonderful!

Natasha teaches young (and not very young but willing) people to draw. My host is also in the group. Today they did wash drawings for the first time, it was an apple and a lemon.
I was of great help for Vika, my host. Here you can see the result :0)

Novosibirsk - Rock-City Club, Russia - 18th January 2008
By: Cosmica
My host is very busy these days but yeasterday we've been to a concert. The club is called Rock-City and it's built in rock-music style. It's decarated with records, microphones and other things indicative to rock-music.
The concert was given by a Russian rock-band from Saint-Petersburg - Animal Jazz. I'm not on the photo cause it was me who made it!
Animal Jazz
Then dances began! I've never thought that trance could be such a great music for dances! And there were batterfly girls dancing on the scene that made me feel even more dancer-like!

The disco was over, I was overwhelmed with emotions and sat down to have a rest. And you know what?! I'vw found myself on the bar counter leaning against ab ash-tray! Awful! I've always thought I was a decent monkey! Nevertheless I don't regret anything
After the club we walked a bit and I jumped onto a snowbank. I defenitely like this city at night!

There was a surprise for me today. I've met another toyvoyager - Isambard from Great Britain. We'll live at the same host for a while. First I was afraid that now I'll have less attention, but then I got to know Isambard better and now I know - we'll be good friends!

Today we've been to the artist's studio again. Did I mention Natasha (the artist) has a dog? Here she is - it's absolutely fantastic! I've never seen such an energetic creature before!
And when Zlata the dog was finally sleeping and quite we managed to drink some tea with Russian traditional round cracknels. I should say they are crisp and delicious
