WALKING IN THE CENTER OF VLADIVOSTOK RUSSIA.ЦЕНТР, НАБЕРЕЖНАЯ ВЛАДИВОСТОКА
VladivostokTalk was walking in the center of Vladivostok
Taking a stroll through the city center, it is impossible to walk past Vladivostok’s Arbat – the so-called pedestrian section of Admiral Fokin Street – as it is one of the favorite places of Vladivostok residents and tourists alike. In the nineties, due to the many kiosks and stalls selling cheap Chinese consumer goods there, the street was dubbed simply Commercial or “Shopping Street.”
However, in the new century, it transformed; the atmosphere itself changed on the street – which descends directly to the sea, into the Sports Harbor. Sparkling fountains, distinctive raised garden beds, and convenient benches appeared. The historic buildings along the street house cozy cafes, trendy shops, and budget hostels.
The Arbat has already established its own traditions: friends get together here; business meetings are conducted and romantic rendezvous take place. In the summer, there are often street performers, and the interior courtyards of “Millionka” – the preserved environs of the early 20th century Chinatown – surely attract fans of historical arcana and oriental exoticism.
Going further down the Arbat will bring you directly onto the “Sport Harbor” Promenade. It is quite possible to dedicate a few hours taking a leisurely walk through this area. The central city beach, a marina with sailboats, the sea breeze, and the outline of Sandy Cape on the other side of the bay – are all there at your disposal.
Strolling along the shore, you can get your portrait done by one of Vladivostok’s remarkable artists, who will complete it literally within thirty minutes. Be sure to keep your eye out for Tiger Alley – where on thirteen stone tiles tiger tracks are depicted and the names are written of the countries where these rare cats currently live. The presence of such an alley makes complete sense given that Primorye is Amur (Siberian) Tiger country.
If you are traveling with children, check out the amusement park. There is a carousel and bumping cars for kids, as well as a Ferris wheel that offers a beautiful view of the harbor and downtown. Looking out at Vladivostok from on high, you will see for yourself how hills grace the landscape that this city is spread across.
Just a few steps away from the waterfront is the aquarium (oceanarium) where two exhibition halls are located. (In the first) displayed in glass cases, are collections of seashells, corals, sponges, fish, and a variety of marine animals. In the large round hall, inhabitants of Far Eastern freshwater reservoirs, Peter the Great Bay, and tropical seas are apportioned in thirteen aquaria. In four cold-water aquariums, denizens of the Seas of Japan and Okhotsk are distributed.
To the left of the Oceanarium begins a sweeping staircase that leads to the Vladivostok Fortress Museum. This unique historical site will be intriguing to anyone interested in the naval history of the Russian Far East. The museum also contains a rare collection of bricks produced in Primorskiy factories in the early 20th century.
The walls of the buildings surrounding this square became a platform for the works of world-famous graffiti artists. In 2013, American Gabriel Spector depicted a DNA molecule as a symbol of the connection among all people on Earth. Japanese artist Yuma created black and white graffiti with the words Underwater Party. And New York painter Gaia drew a bright tiger on the wall, protected by human hands. Adjacent to the square is the bar Mumiy Troll – definitely go in there if you want to hear music with great club sound. The cuisine here, by the way, is multinational.

THE MOST UNDER RATED PLACE IN RUSSIA
Where is there jaw dropping cliffs, dark forest and endless sandy beaches? I guess you'll have to watch this video to find out! Traveling in Siberia comes with many natural wonders, but few quite as grand as this. This is definitely the most under rated place in Russia.
The company I went with and it looks like they take English speakers so I won't recommend others! -

Marios Joannou Elia's Naval Symphony Varyag at Primorsky Philharmonic (Vesti TV, Press Conference)
Мировая премьера - военно-морская симфония «Варяг» прозвучит в Приморской краевой филармонии. Видеорепортаж Оксаны Данилюк.
Мировая премьера симфонии «Варяг» — это грандиозный подарок владивостокцам накануне Дня города и в год 80-летия Приморского края. Концерт - 7 июня в Большом зале Приморской филармонии.
7 июня в краевой филармонии состоится мировая премьера — впервые будет исполнена военно-морская симфония «Варяг». Ее автор — кипрский композитор Мариус Иоанну Элиа, известный своим оригинальным проектом «Звуки Владивостока». На этот раз - крупная музыкальная форма, которую должны воплотить приморские исполнители.
Пока его прошлогодний фильм «Звуки Владивостока» участвует в программе телефестиваля «Человек и море», Мариос Ионанну Элиа уже снимает следующий — о том, как рождается его симфония с глубоким историческим подтекстом - о героическом подвиге «Варяга».
Мариос Иоанну Элиа, композитор (Кипр): «Корабль «Варяг», флагман современного Тихоокеанского флота, был первым, что я увидел в вашем городе. Его образ вошел в фильм «Звуки Владивостока». А история подвига «Варяга» в русско-японской войне вдохновила меня на эту симфонию».
Для Мариоса это первый опыт взаимодействия с русской музыкой. Он прочел книгу о русско-японской войне, был очарован вальсом «Амурские волны», песню «Наверх вы, товарищи!» слышал в Москве на Красной площади, в исполнении Ансамбля песни и пляски Российской армии. Во Владивостоке эти музыкальные темы споют Академический хор ДВФУ под управлением Елены Петуховой и солисты Приморской филармонии.
Илья Астафуров, солист Приморской филармонии, лауреат международных конкурсов: «В моей практике это впервые — поработать с живым композитором. Можно с ним обсудить все музыкальные детали непосредственно, бок о бок. У него замечательная музыка!»
Елена Брыкина, солистка Приморской филармонии, лауреат международных конкурсов: «Очень трогает то, что иностранный композитор написал произведение на нашу русскую историю. Тем более связанную с Приморьем, с «Варягом».
Анатолий Смирнов, главный дирижер Тихоокеанского симфонического оркестра, заслуженный артист РФ: «Мы подобные произведения не играли в таком направлении. Для нас это очень интересно, думаю, это будет интересно и для зрителей, которые придут 7 июня на наш концерт».

The world premiere of the Varyag symphony is a grandiose gift to the Vladivostok residents on the eve of the City Day and the year of the 80th anniversary of the Primorye Territory. Concert - June 7 in the Great Hall of the Primorsky Philharmonic.
June 7 in the regional philharmonic society will be the world premiere - for the first time the naval symphony Varyag will be performed. Its author is the Cypriot composer Marios Joannou Elia, known for his original project Sounds of Vladivostok. This time - a large musical form, which should be embodied by the seaside performers.
While his last year's film Sound of Vladivostok participates in the program of the TV festival Man and the Sea, Marios Joannou Elia is already filming the next project - about how his symphony is born with a deep historical overtones - about the heroic deed of the Varyag.
Marios Joannou Elia, composer (Cyprus): The Varyag ship, the flagship of the modern Pacific Fleet, was the first thing I saw in your city. It is included in the film Sound of Vladivostok. And the history of the cruiser Varyag in the Russian-Japanese had inspired me to this symphony.
For Marios, this is the first experience of interaction with Russian music. He read the book about the Russo-Japanese War, was fascinated by the waltz Amur Waves, the song Upstairs you, comrades! I heard in Moscow on Red Square, performed by the Ensemble of Song and Dance of the Russian Army. In Vladivostok these musical themes will be sung by the Academic Choir of the FEFU under Elena Petukhova and the soloists of the Primorsky Philharmonic.
Ilya Astafurov, soloist of the Primorsky Philharmonic, laureate of international competitions: In my practice it's the first time - to work with a living composer. You can discuss with him all the musical details directly, side by side. He has great music!
Elena Brykina, soloist of the Primorsky Philharmonic, laureate of international competitions: It is very touching that the foreign composer wrote a work on our Russian history. Especially connected with Primorye, with the Varyag.
Anatoly Smirnov, chief conductor of the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation: We did not play such works in this direction. For us it's very interesting, I think it will be interesting for the audience who will come to our concert on June 7 .

The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (Russian: Республика Саха (Якутия), tr. Respublika Sakha (Yakutiya), IPA: [rʲɪsˈpublʲɪkə sɐˈxa jɪˈkutʲɪjə]; Sakha: Саха Өрөспүүбүлүкэтэ, translit. Sakha Öröspüübülükete, IPA: [saˈxa øɾøsˈpyːbylykete], Sakha Republic), simply Sakha (Yakutia) (Russian: Саха (Якутия); Sakha: Саха Сирэ, translit. Sakha Sire), is a federal subject of Russia (a republic). It has a population of 958,528 (2010 Census), consisting mainly of ethnic Yakuts and Russians.
Comprising half the Far Eastern Federal District, it is the largest subnational governing body by area in the world at 3,083,523 square kilometers (1,190,555 sq mi) and the eighth largest territory in the world, if the republics of Russia were compared with other countries. It is larger than Argentina and just smaller than India. Its capital is the city of Yakutsk. It is also well known for its extreme and severe climate, with the lowest temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere being recorded in Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, and regular winter averages commonly being below −35 °C (−31 °F) in several population centers, including Yakutsk. The hypercontinental tendencies also result in very warm summers for much of the republic.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The City and Borough of Juneau ( JOO-noh; Tlingit: Dzánti K'ihéeni [ˈtsántʰì kʼìˈhíːnì]), commonly known as Juneau, is the capital city of Alaska. It is a unified municipality on Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan panhandle, and it is the second largest city in the United States by area. Juneau has been the capital of Alaska since 1906, when the government of what was the District of Alaska was moved from Sitka as dictated by the U.S. Congress in 1900. The municipality unified on July 1, 1970, when the city of Juneau merged with the city of Douglas and the surrounding Greater Juneau Borough to form the current municipality, which is larger by area than both Rhode Island and Delaware.
Downtown Juneau (58°18′07″N 134°25′11″W) is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and across the channel from Douglas Island. As of the 2010 census, the City and Borough had a population of 31,276. In 2014, the population estimate from the United States Census Bureau was 32,406, making it the second most populous city in Alaska after Anchorage. Fairbanks, however, is the state's second most populous metropolitan area, with roughly 100,000 residents. Juneau's daily population can increase by roughly 6,000 people from visiting cruise ships between the months of May and September.
The city is named after a gold prospector from Quebec, Joe Juneau, though the place was for a time called Rockwell and then Harrisburg (after Juneau's co-prospector, Richard Harris). The Tlingit name of the town is Dzántik'i Héeni (Base of the Flounder’s River, dzánti ‘flounder,’ –kʼi ‘base,’ héen ‘river’), and Auke Bay just north of Juneau proper is called Áak'w (Little lake, áa ‘lake,’ -kʼ ‘diminutive’) in Tlingit. The Taku River, just south of Juneau, was named after the cold t'aakh wind, which occasionally blows down from the mountains.
Juneau is unusual among U.S. capitals (except Honolulu, Hawaii) in that there are no roads connecting the city to the rest of Alaska or to the rest of North America (although ferry service is available for cars). The absence of a road network is due to the extremely rugged terrain surrounding the city. This in turn makes Juneau a de facto island city in terms of transportation, since all goods coming in and out must go by plane or boat, in spite of the city being on the Alaskan mainland. Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet (5 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 feet (1,100 m) to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30 glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier, are visible from the local road system. The Mendenhall glacier has been gradually retreating; its front face is declining in width and height.
The Alaska State Capitol in downtown Juneau was built as the Federal and Territorial Building in 1931. Prior to statehood, it housed federal government offices, the f ...
