One of the most interesting journeys you've ever been on Generally, I think that I like travelling, but frankly, I haven’t been travelling a lot. I usually visit my grandparents in the countryside during my summer holidays, but I rarely come out from my home region. My parents haven’t got much money to travel a lot, so, we’ve never been abroad or even in the European part of Russia or in the Far East. But despite this, once we traveled to an interesting place, which is not so far from our home region. This place is Altai mountains. It was 2013, August, the weather wasn’t hot and sometimes it was raining. But we got our warm clothes and the weather wasn’t a problem. We crossed all the Novosibirsk region, Altai krai (krai is such a Russian administrative level) and come to the Republic of Altai, one of the autonomous regions of Russia. Dad was driving our car during the trip. Sometimes we were kind of tired (especially dad, because he was driving for hours), but when we just took a look on the sceneries that were around us, we almost forgot about our tiredness. I stared at mountains and mountain rivers, sky, traditional houses of Altai people. By the way, there were a lot of cows and their skin’s color was like honey, but a bit darker. There were also a lot of pagan and Buddhist ritual places. Buddhists usually decorate such places (actually trees) with colorful ribbons. We ate outdoors, even got barbeque. Also, August is a season when water-melons and sweet melons are quite cheap, so we got them too. Though that trip was short, maybe three of four days, I really liked it and once I’d like to visit those places again.
