Life, Travels, and Daily English Posts

After Barcelona, I go to Paris for two days. The main goal of my trip was to see the Eiffel Tower and other famous landmarks. The day in Paris was cloudy and rainy, but by evening, the clouds cleared, and the sun came out. Despite the weather, I managed to see all the main sights and walked around the city. I was happy with my visit to Paris and feel like I accomplished my goal.

The first time in my life, I visited Europe, starting with Spain because they approved my visa. When I arrived in Barcelona, I liked the city, becouse, cozy streets and interesting architectural buildings. Even in the rain, you can walk under the buildings because the design allows it.

I'm Ansar, and I'm from Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan. If you don’t know about this city, you can read my posts here. I think Kazan is incredibly awesome and feels like a European city. Therefore, you should visit it. And since I’ve told you a little about my city, now I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself as well. First of all, I want to start with my name because when I use it abroad, everyone is curious about it. So here is a short explanation. My name comes from Arabic (أنصَار, anṣār) and means “supporters” or “helpers.” This meaning connects beautifully with a well-known Tatar expression, “Iseme cısemene turı kilgän (Исеме җисеменә туры килгән)”, which means that a person’s name truly matches their character. I feel this fits me quite well, because I naturally tend to be a very supportive and kind person. Overall, I’m truly grateful that my parents and grandparents gave me such a unique name.
