topumWe had to postpone the trip to Kamchatka to next year. We did not have the time to plan and do the trip properly this year, going to Kamchatka does require some serious planning.
I will still visit Russia for the first time this year though. I will be going to Yekaterinburg for a week in November. Yekaterinburg is Russia' fourth (or possibly third) largest city situated on the border of Europe and Asia, on the eastern side of the Ural Mountains. Wikipedia is telling me that in winter the temperature there may fall to −45 °C (−49 °F). That's probably why they built the largest water leisure park in Europe. There is also good skiing there we were told.
Apparently Yekaterinburg is known in Russia for being the only large city were the mayor is not from the Putin's party but from the opposition. The people of Yekaterinburg voted in Yevgeny Roizman as their mayor. His "Early life" in Wikipedia is concise:
"The son of a Jewish factory worker, Roizman left home at the age of 14 and started to work at odd jobs, later to be prosecuted for theft."
I look forward to this trip.

Date: 2016-08-07 08:28 pm (UTC)"I want you to see" in English means that you want me to see something. If you want to see me, then it will be "I want to see you". "I want you to see" and "I want to see you" mean very different things in English. That's why it is so hard to understand you in English.

Date: 2016-08-07 08:42 pm (UTC)"I want you to see" in English does not mean that you want to see me. It is incorrect. It is "I want to see you". "I want you to see" means that you want me to see something, like "I want you to see my new watch". If you want to see me then "I want you to see" is incorrect it is "I want to see you".
