@Ricardo Vaz I was living in Sevastopol for several months. This city is located on the sides of the Sevastopol's bay, of the Black sea coast. For several centuries it was a Russian naval base. There were two serious sieges of the Sevastopol, one during the Crimean war and another, during the Second World War. This two sieges took a lot of lives (~130,000 for Crimean and ~30.000 for WW2) and influenced a lot on the culture of this city. After the fall of the Soviet Russia Crimea was given to Ukraine. Now it's still a Russian naval base, and Sevastopol's population has > 90% of Russian-speaking people. It's not crowded with tourists a lot, so one can enjoy it easily, since Sevastopol has a lot of museums, old nice architecture, and beautiful places to view. Now I live in Syktyvkar, Russia :) It's also a nice place, but I wish to visit Sevastopol again, maybe in the October 2013.

Hello, Mikhail! I was pleased to know about your city and country. Tell us a little more! Regards!

I was just curious, do you pronounce the "k" in Mikhail, I have a freind who is Romanian (yes, it is a different country and language), but he spells his name the same, but pronounces it Mihai (without a "k" and "l"). And, do you spell it like "Михайл" in the Cyrillic alphabet? Just curious. But about the notebook entry), that is a very good introduction, and ( I don't know how long you have been studying English, or even if you really understand this whole thing, (not to offend you if you do)) very good use of verbs in the present tense, because one of my friend's Dad doesn't use them often, and has been in the United States for probably 10 years, at least.
