Trip to Hamburg

We arrived in Hamburg on Monday and spent five days there. As someone from the aerospace industry, I was, of course, aware of the huge Airbus plant in the city, and I couldn’t help but wonder if I could see myself living there.

3 Years of War

Three years ago, we left our apartment in Kyiv “for a couple of days.” I didn’t know then that it was just the beginning of the bloody massacre Putin started to establish his dictatorship in Russia.

Köln

After school began, we’ve become very dependent on our son’s schedule. So, during the autumn holidays, we had no choice but to travel somewhere. We chose Cologne (Köln) as our destination, as we’ve never been to the western part of Germany, and among the remaining big cities, this one seemed to have the most entertainment […]

Königstein Fortress

While it is still warm outside, we decided to spend some time outside and visit Festung Königstein (Königstein Fortress). We took the S-Bahn from Dresden and in forty minutes found ourselves in Königstein town.

Palace of Peace

We all need peace, especially now. It turned out, that in Astana, Kasahstan they were concerned about peace long ago. Not far from the President Palace, on the other bank of Ishim River they built the Palace of Peace.

Astana

During my trip to Germany I spent couple days in Astana. Initially I planned to stay only one day, because of huge ticket prices in arrival day and twice cheaper on next day. However, I was able to leave Minsk earlier, thanks to Belavia return policy with 100% return of money. So I had a […]

VTB is stealing money

I have the spreadsheet to track changes in my broker accounts. So, once a month I use to move data from broker reports to this spreadsheet. Most time it’s just a boring and routine job. However, sometimes it could reveal interesting facts.
