Pacific Ocean

In 2003, a group of U.S. scientists studied the DNA samples of two thousand people gathered in various parts of the Eurasian continent. Unexpectedly, a set of Y-chromosome has been so many similar that they can be be attributed to a single family. Calculations showed that this "family" now owns a total of sixteen million people living in the vast expanse of the continent – from the Caspian Sea to the Pacific Ocean. The explanation of this phenomenon can only be one – somewhere at the turn of XII-XIII centuries lived their common ancestor dispersed Eurasian half its genetic material of incredible power. Biologists have concluded that it could be only one man – winner of many wives and concubines, the creator of the largest in the history of mankind, Genghis Khan's empire. … 1170.

Great Steppe in the power of civil strife. Chiefs and family clans are continuous war with each other for title lord of the land. Neither consanguinity nor oath can not be protected from the treacherous attack. Swift horsemen sweeping over the steppe like a fire in one direction, then another, spreading death and desolation. Yesterday a friend and fiance's brother is eaten by vultures, his wife and children slaves. The fire of greed and revenge recognizes only one law – the right of the sword. Nine year old boy Temujin, encased in a wooden shoe, lying on the ground around the camp. Two boards with a hole for the neck and arms make it impossible even to drive away flies, sitting down on his face.

In China

And, for example, ex-pats and those for whom English – mother tongue, and just foreigners with good language skills are often taught in Chinese schools. Salary their normal, flat pay employing company. You can imagine what it turns out there because the Chinese are hard to learn European languages, and expats, most of all, the Chinese do not know. According to Al, we are the first of its Russian guests. Thus, it is necessary to show that Russia – a glorious country, and I decide to cook soup for Al and the other two "vpischikov" – a guy from Hong Kong and the girl from Singapore.

As he prepares rarely and only simple food, and feed in the nearby cafes (And does so most local), then in the refrigerator, we found hanging mouse and a couple of bottles of beer. All products for a large pot of borscht cost us 250 rubles, and we do not buy them on the market and the supermarket. Food In my subjective opinion, in restaurants, "for tourists" feed is not very tasty, but expensive. But in cafes "for his" – yummy. Just be aware that order. There are establishments where the menu illustrated or translated into English. Otherwise, you will help those most printed leaflets with information or the Russian-Chinese phrase book.

Speaking of prices, then our average lunch cost 20 yuan. And after him personally, I emerged fully sated and not even able to look towards the food. Portions big in China. Many attribute this to low sugar content in food. If you – a lover of sweets, I advise you to stock up on chocolate or candy. In China, local chocolate is horrible, but imported roads and little choice. In principle, you can walk into a cafe, where there is a pastry and coffee. But there is much more expensive and, in fact, nothing special.

The city welcomed us very friendly, unlike the weather Mineral Waters. As we said the driver, such shifts of weather is normal for the region of Caucasian Mineral Waters. Mountains encircled the city and inside the small speaking polugorami poluholmami create interesting landscape. A tale for the modernist architect. We drove in silence, just watching with interest pezazhami which flashed past the windows of our car. Idan Ofer understood the implications.

City high-rise buildings opened to us the Soviet period and modern buildings in between, although there were also a new high-rise building. Crowding in the city ring of mountains raised the price of land that is naturally forced to put investors at the height of the houses. Driving along the main street – Avenue of Victory, we It turns out no one had crossed the city. But to us it was not noticeable, the town itself is small and the differences in areas not so striking. But the noticeable difference in the number and height of buildings. Victory Avenue is the longest street with one ring of which we entered the city, and from another we went to the central circular area of Kislovodsk. In general, a passion for roundabouts in urban Kavminvod widespread. From the area circled on it, we went to the left towards the old railway bridge, and a small pump-room mineral water Zhelyabovsky known as seltzer.
