In one of my posts, i wrote that I met someone who lives in another country. Well, it's a girl my age, a bit younger than me. Today, when we were texting, i know which city she is from, and i was shocked.

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.

There is almost no snow left in Kazan, and the temperature is +3°C, even though it's only early february. Usually, this weather comes in mid or late march. Let's see what happens in march and april, i hope there won’t be freezing temperatures

The weather was amazing, there were no clouds in the sky, and the sun was bright and warm. I walked around Kaban Lake, and during the walk, I saw many sportsmen, and everyone was doing their exercises. Also, I met wild ducks swimming peacefully in the lake. Their presence made the walk even more enjoyable, and I couldn't resist stopping to watch them for a while. Definitely, this place is one of my favorites

Today it's -20 degrees, very cold, feels like -30

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.

During those days, the city felt truly festive. Bright lights decorated the streets, shop windows were shining with colorful garlands, and a huge Christmas tree stood on the main square. People were walking around, taking photos, and kids were happily sliding down hills and skating on ice rinks.

Now, after some time, the memories are still vivid. New Year in Kazan was warm and cozy, even though the weather felt more like spring. Maybe it was one of the most unusual holidays in recent years.

Tomorrow I will walk around Kaban Lake and take a few pictures of the Kamal Theater
