Sochi harbour:

The most famous hotel in Sochi, "The Pearl" (I translated):



This highway connects Sochi to the rest of the country:


Lake Ritsa, just above Sochi (in mountains):

A bridge to Adler from Sochi

Does anybody know the name for the below flower? It is my favourite flower. Its smell is absolutely fantastic. It comes from a tree with soft, shiny dark green leaves that flowers in summer.

A beautiful view from Krasnaya Polyana, the town in the mountains for which Russia is planning to bid on the 2014 Olympic Winter Games.

First of all, this book is from early 1990s. Secondly, the people in this picture are about 40-60 years old (as for the two little kids - you cant really see what they are wearing). You expect them to dress like the kids of today? I dont think so! That would actually look SCARY!

Just to let you know, older people, particularly above 30 years of age, tends to stick to their style that they grew up in. Secondly, even if you happen to see in any other pictures any strange style of clothing, dont forget that its Europe, and not North America. In Europe some people scoff at some of the ways people look.

Kinda reminds me last week at work I saw an old lady with a bunch of goth-style pearcings on lip and nose. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
