Samara. Miss Expedition for one night:

"This time Katya, the administrator of Green Line Hotel in Samara, handed me the symbolic keys to the city. As it turned out later, Katya had been studying our website exprussia.ru all night, and the next morning she asked us to join her company to Ekaterinburg. We agreed and took the girl on board, but not for long: the next day Miss Expedition resigned and retired in Ufa. A pity, of course, but nothing could be done.

In Samara we were not long, but had time to see the city centre, embankment, beach and old Samara courtyards. And at the very end, 130 km away from Samara in Sergievsky district we visited Goluboe Ozero, a sulphurous spring in a sinkhole."

"A short presentation of the city for us was given by Alexander Kobenko, the acting minister of economic development of the Samara region."

My point is ... a lot of the top blogs were now about the First World War (just go to Russian news aggregators and look). Now - about the beginning of the second ... (I mean what people are discussing - history).

What people who are dying regret

A nurse decided to write down what people regret before they die, and one of the most common regrets was 'I worked too hard'. If today were the last day of your life, what would you regret the most?
