In some places these falls are even higher than the Niagara, but, of course, they are not so popular and their name is not buzz words.

London Parliament and Big Ben, UK Love and passion… Some people don’t even dare to presuppose how important these two feelings are.Prague St.vitus cathedral

They don’t necessarily suppose each other, love is devotion, a commitment, a long-term felling, and that can make you happy even when there are no reasons to be happy. And passion – it is a ghost with love face. It is only physical love; it is a strong attraction…

I remember a situation. When I was only 15 years old, I used to fell in love with people, whom I didn’t know at all, I mean his name and appearance was the only knowledge of him. Now, it sounds ridiculous and I am glad, that today my eyes are opened wide and I exactly know how to define these to feelings and not to confuse them. But, there some situations, when you just want to lose your head from love, flirt, infatuation, to feel yourself happy and free, careless and safe and to find out – everything is possible, this feeling you can obtain visiting the following cities:

VENICE

Believe nothing can be compared with its silent sombre and at the same time so attractive waters, they are seducing you to join the invisible dance, unspoken mysteries, to become a part of their exuberant symphony. Its Canals unites the present and the past and open the doors into the future. Visit this unsurpassed place, enjoy the peace of its Canals, look at gondolas with your own eyes, and walk by the paths of ancient palazzo. Drink a cup of hot tea or cappuccino together with pigeons in Piazza San Marco or just meet a nice stranger and kiss with him on the Bridge of Sighs. Feel the atmosphere of love!

RABAT (the capital of Morocco)

The lonely wall in Morocco Marrakesh, Marokko, Mekka …Just listen to these words, they sound like a melody! Spices, jewellery, markets, scurrying about people, hot debates, half-closed faces…. Oh, I love it! East cities, what can be better! It a completely another world, full of dangers and undiscovered events, luxurious hotels and rich sheikhs, but aware, they can steal you and make a 5th wife! These people, they are dancing and singing, cooking and welcoming guests, it is to thrilling to cognize them, their culture, traditions and lifestyle! Passion can be perceived at each part of this city!

PARIS

What can be said about Paris that is still unknown to public? A lot treat it as the world’s most romantic city. Love is an integral part of it. Each brick, each person, each smile radiates it. The Eiffel Tower, it is especially beautiful in the sunset hours, you can make photos near it, touch it or just drink champagne in front of it and understand, that you are really happy. May be you will meet a newly married couple, and who knows, one day you can visit this city together with your own husband!

NEW YORK

Eiffel Tower in the fall As for me, at the first sight, it hardly can be called a romantic city, but after a thorough investigation it turns out, that a picnic in the Central Park is a rather good pastime, such cosy event among the huge mega polis. It is so touching! Than you can do shopping and while doing this meet a handsome stranger or just a beautiful liar, who will make you crazy and love, for sure, will come to your heart and soul and make them happy too!

LONDON

Sometimes it seems to me, that this city is a centre of everything: life, traditions, experience and future.

Traditionally, it is supposed, that London is grey and uncomfortable, big and alien. It is so easy to get lost in it, to merge with this city and forget who you are. So many sightseeing, so many lonely people, but usually, under cloud of night, they can gather together and spend some time while talking to each other, exchanging news and information, letting cat out of the bag and usual to England cup of tea with milk unites them and warms their souls up.

PRAGUE

Dubrovnik - Croatia Lose yourself in the beauty of this ancient town. Prague is famous for its bridges, there are a great number of them, block stone streets and roads, medieval architecture and comfortable cafes. Sometimes, it looks like a small Venice. It has a well-known watch with gnomes and the Charles Bridge, where you can meet a Prince on the white horse and he will steal you and take to his Palace. Here, you will understand – love, passion and romantic attitude is still alive!

SAINT PETERSBURG

It is a great, glorious and marvellous Russian city. It is so romantic to stay there, especially, when the nights are white and the bridges are separated. You can meet a sunset at the shore of Niva-river and enjoy the peace and calmness. Various museums and art galleries, as well as castles and palaces are waiting for you, to share their history with such a thankful and attentive visitor! Don’t keep them waiting!

BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires is an incredible combination of Latin America’s Culture and European cloaked in a European intelligence and soft charm. The whole Argentine is a tango country, people are dancing everywhere. Santorini, Greece This dance is first of all a passion, love, infatuation. It is full of unexpressed desire, invisible hints and body language. It is no better place, to feel yourself beloved and to get acquainted with a sexy stranger, who is dancing next to you!

DUBROVNIK, Croatia

Adriatic has many “pearls”, but the city of Dubrovnik is the most significant. It can compete even with the acknowledged romantic cities, such as Paris and Venice. It is situated in Croatia and has a status and fame of the coastal resort. Blue, clear waters of Adriatic, limestone precipices and attractive old marble-paved streets together with antique churches, squares and castles leaves no chance to withstand their beauty. Be sure, even if romantic is an empty sound for you, this city will make you change your mind!

SANTORINI, Greece

Santorini is the only island in this list. An Island, whenever you will look, there will be blue, clear waters, black-sand beaches and coastal villages. Here you can remember about the lost city – Atlantis, have a look at incredible sights of the volcanic eruption, drink exotic cocktails and enjoy life as it is!

Sochi 2014

Misha_olympicThe 22nd Olympic Games will take place in the Russian Black Sea Resort, named Sochi. Sochi has been striving for this honourable event for long 27years, after the Olympic Games 1980. I was in Russia 2 years ago, I really liked this country, especially Cheburashks, Krorkodil Gena, samovar with hot and strong black Russian tea, matrioshkas, lapti – these things are so cute! Their people are so friendly and their hospitality is undisputable! Russia, the official name The Russian Federation is the biggest country in the world, and don’t believe that there are only 3 location there; I mean Moscow, St. Petersburg and Siberia! Now you already know Sochi.

Sochi - candidate city 2014Sochi is famous for its fashionable and expensive Black Sea resorts. And, of course, it is not all about vodka and ushankas (hats), its traditions is much older and interesting. Also, it is one of the most powerful countries, it has nuclear weapon, oil, gas and it is a member of the Great 8. But, it is another story to tell. So, at the 4th of July Russian city Sochi was announced a host of the Winter Olympic Games. As for the Russians, they deserved this nomination, and they won it and leave PyeongChang behind. They got 51 votes and its main rival only 47. Russia won only in the second circle of elections in Guatemala city. Olympic Games can be viewed as a new milestone for the Russian Federation; it will help to develop a new system of sport games, to develop the infrastructure of sport and to outline new perspectives! It is planned to build the following objects: skating rinks, new Olympic Stadium, the Main Media Center, and, it goes without saying, the main Olympic Village. A lot of Commissions, from different countries (MOC representatives), visited Sochi and made an objective decision.
