Cape Town In November, we were in South Africa in Cape Town. It is a good place to visit. I felt like I found myself in springtime, because it was almost wintertime in my country in November. We have visited Table Mountain. I think it is the highest point there. The peak of this mountain is very flat like a table, so it got such a name. This view you can see from the top.

Bali bye for now Now i am waiting for my plane in Doha airport. I expected to stay on Bali one week more, but I had to go home. What can I say about Bali? It is quite nice place, with kind people living in it. But I could not to live here for a long time, because I like my country. It is waiting for me.

Second day on Bali At last, I know the name of the one of fruits I have eaten yesterday. It was “snake skin”. We have started our tour from visiting of volcano “Gunung Batur”. Having discussed the price with the driver, we have rented a taxi for the whole day. The beginning was not optimistic, because the weather was rainy. It took us more than 2 hours to get that place. On our arriving, the weather became better. Wonderful view opened before us. We saw the volcano itself, the lake, the picturesque forest. It looked like the cloudy sky was closer to us. We have climbed to the top of the platform to make pictures. We have bought some souvenirs after. On the way from the volcano, we have visited a nice cafe. We saw many fantastic flowers there; I have not seen them before. They were perfectly charm. It is not a cafe indeed. They grow many fruits, trees and the special kind of coffee. They call it “Luwak” coffee. If I understood correctly, “Luwak” was the name of an animal looked like a cat or a very big rat. People feed this animal with coffee beans. How to tell correctly, they take these beans from the animal after. It is some kind of coffee machine. After that, the price of coffee reaches 400 $ for 1 kilo. We have tasted it. I cannot say that it is unbelievable taste. We have spent many hours there and could stay longer, but they had to close their cafe. We have continued our tour through small villages, where we bought souvenirs, local spicery. We made pictures with friendly local people. We had a desire to visit some famous waterfall, but we had no time. We have left it for the next time. In the evening, we have visited lots of shops and cafe.

first day on Bali Yesterday was our first day on Bali. We were tired, so we decided to start our time spending with “Halo” Bali spa salon. Even after 3 hours of massage, I have not been impressed. I heard lots about it on Bali, maybe I expected too much of it. However, I enjoyed their food later and local fruits, which extraordinary names I do not remember. I hope, that today I will get more unforgettable day.

Friends If I need a friend, I will buy a dog. Who is worst than clever enemy – a sly friend is. These words belong to a man I worked with. I know him many years and he never changes his mind regarding a friendship. He never trusts anybody. Sometimes when he is in bad mood, he calls me and proposes to go for a walk. We discuss a reason of his bad mood. Once he said that we are friends. After laughing, I remind him his cynical words. He got mad.

visit Few years ago I have visited the Kiev-Pecherskaya Laura. I was deeply impressed by its history. There are a lot of historical places in Kiev. All of them are worth visiting. Kiev could save its own charm, culture in spite of the influence of the time. I am going to find a free time to ejoy its energy again.

Dorian When we are at school, we think that our happiness wait for us after leaving it. On leaving school we expext our happiness from a finishing of an university. Then we need getting a good job to be quite happy. Than better job, family, children... All the time we run toward our happiness. All the time it is wating for us in the future, but not now. One day we stay at a mirror, like Dorian looking through the portrait, we think about our youth, life, happiness.

seagull Today it was bad weather at sea. Strong wind and high waves have shaken the ship. Only the seagull seating on water remained calm. We should do the same when nothing can be done.
