About coffee

Tea is my daily drink. Every morning and sometimes on in the evening I drink a cup of green tea (or more rarely - black). But sometimes, two-three times a week, I make (or brew?) a coffee.
I think that an instant coffee is a sour swill disgusting ("swill" is uncommon English - I had to use a dictionary to look it up), but so I will write about the real coffee which is created from roasted coffee beans. Usually I buy a pack of beans (middle), mill grind them and pack up them into the special jar. Now I’m telling about a process of making coffee. I take a copper coffee pot and fill it with three spoons of coffee, a sugar, a salt and a cinnamon (or a cardamom grain), then mix this mass and fill the water. After 15 minutes on the mild fire (I’m not sure) my kitchen is filled with a pleasant aroma, and I can take enjoy this wonderful drink.

My travels in Russia

I have travelled only in the European part of Russia. The first time I was in Russia was with my parents. It was several times, we had visited Moscow and St. Petersburg, and a town in the Kirov region where my uncle lived. We travelled by train and once by plane. Also I was in Yekaterinburg when me went to another train (пересаживались на поезд, как правильно?). >>> we transfered trains.
I moved to Moscow for studies and now I live here with my husband. We always travel together. We saw Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Yelets, were together in St. Peterburg again and in Vyborg. But I hardly can advice to visit can not really recommend visiting Kazan this year because it has a lot of repairs, they are preparing for Summer Universiade 2013.
I love russian nature. It is A common image scene in Russia (as I think) about russian nature - is one of white birch-trees and cornflowers, endless fields and wide rivers, thick forests. Of course it's not only like that, because Russia is very spacious has wide territory. I like to be in nature at the nature (бывать на природе), but there is a little problem... There are crowds of mosquitos and gadflies (gadfly - как по-русски точно звучит))) (Я тоже не знаю как "gadfly" по-английски... maybe just "fly" is fine.)even if I use repellents, I always have stings get bites. But such things are only for the summer. You can enjoy beautiful landscapes in every time of year.
