I am from a small Siberian town called Probie. It was fun growing up there because in spite it is very small there are a lot of things to do. In winter I used to ski and ice-skate. My friends and I liked to play with the snow, making snowmen and throwing snowballs. There is a river close so in summer my family and I used to take a boat and go fishing.      My hometown is very beautiful in winter because it’s covered with snow and everything is white. When it’s sunny the snow is so shiny that it’s hard to open the eyes! And in summer it becomes green and it’s very cool to walk around the forest and see different types of trees, plants and berries. In autumn the trees change their color and if you look at the forest from far away you will see orange, yellow and pink leaves!  You can try typical Russian food there. Russian dumplings (pelmeni), pancakes (blini), vegetable soup (borsh) and also you can try venison there. In conclusion, I would like to say that it was a very nice and quiet place to grow up. And if you are not afraid of harsh temperatures I totally recommend to visit it in summer and see authentic Siberian nature.
