Novosibirsk, Russia - 20th July 2008

By: Oksana

Some days ago our host received her traveling notebook "Getting to know you"  and she also got 2 notebooks which she ought to decorate and send to the next person. Here we are enjoying reading these notebooks:

And then Oksana took us to her favourite park. Look how many yellow leaves there! And it's only July in Novosibirsk,
but looks like it's autumn:

There are two fountains in that park, but they both didn't work :( Maybe because the day was rainy..
This one-with a bear is my favourite :)

I'm on the fur-tree:

Do you like lilies? I like them very much! They are very beautiful!

And here is our  company on the stone heart. It's a stone monument in the Pervomaysky garden. Some years ago there was a festival of stone sculptures and this heart was one of the works. At first it was clean- without these writings, but then young people wrote there their works of love :)
