I'm in Madrid. It rained all day, and only in the evening was I able to go for a walk around the city. Despite the rainy weather, the walk was quite pleasant, and the city looked especially beautiful at this time.

It’s very cold in Kazan right now, the temperature dropped to -30°C. Despite this, i went to my last swimming training today.

Last weekend, I visited the village of Burbashsky Sardygan, which is about 120 kilometers from Kazan. In the summer, I posted a video about this place on my YouTube channel, where I walked through the most beautiful spots. This time, I decided to walk the same paths again and also collect fresh water from the local spring, "Nurzida," since I only drink water. The walk was nice, and the nature was just as beautiful as before. You can watch the summer video at the link.

I wrote earlier that I applied for a Schengen visa, and now the results are here. I got a multi-entry visa for 90 days in the Schengen area. This is great news because now I can travel freely to many countries in Europe.

Hello, friends! A few days ago, I applied for a Schengen visa. I hope everything goes smoothly, and I can go on a new trip soon. I’ll definitely share my impressions when it happens

Today's day has been busy, I packed my suitcase and bought the last few things I needed. Tomorrow, I’m leaving Mersin and go to Russia, to Kazan. Tonight is my last night in Turkey, so I decided to take a final walk along the embankment before leaving. It was my last chance to enjoy the sea breeze and beautiful views, and I couldn’t miss it.

A few days ago, I was to capture the sunrise over the sea, when the sun's rays broke through the clouds and lit up the surface of the water. On the horizon, there were ships waiting for their turn to enter Mersin port.

During today's walk, I noticed a pharmacy with its entrance door decorated in a New Year style. These decorations really stood out among other shops and pharmacies, attracting a lot of attention. Naturally, they caught my attention too.

Last night, the temperature in my apartment dropped to 21 degrees. Outside, it was 11-13 degrees, and since there is no heating in the apartment, I could feel the cold creeping in through every crack. Although 21 degrees is still a fairly comfortable temperature for sleeping, I felt noticeably colder than usual.

Autumn has officially come to Turkey, the days have become shorter, and the air is fresh and cool. It's been raining all day today, and the wind is truly autumnal — sharp and cold. Most people have already started to dress warmer, putting on jackets, sweaters, and wrapping themselves in scarves.

This morning in Turkey was windy and partly cloudy, with active waves on the sea, reminding that winter is coming soon. At 9:05, the whole country observed a minute of silence: cars and public transport stopped, people on the streets paused as the siren sounded, paying their respects. It was at this exact time in 1938 that the president and founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, passed away.

After Serbia, I went to Montenegro, to the city of Podgorica, and this trip was a real surprise for me! The first thing that struck me was the silence and calm in the country on Sundays. It felt like even the shops decided to take the day off.
