Hi, everybody



My name is Marcelo Lima, I am a 1st period Tourism student here in Joao Pessoa, Brazil and I would like to share ideas between both cities...... I really think it will help out both parts, by knowing the culture, places, everything. Anyone who is interested in, please send me an e-mail, OK??? I also accept material in russian language in order to study it and speak. In return, I can send you material in portuguese. Thanks for your nice attention.......

Is this picture from Cheboksary or Kazan or ?
[attachment 456 k12-chkalov.jpg]

Now that CheckbooksRus is back we look forward to hearing about his visit to Cheboksary.

Hallo, I think not your foto is the monument I have seen in Cheboksary. I have here a foto of the monument to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War in Cheboksary where all the newly marrieds are making a little promenade. Cheers

That monument is not from Cheboksary.

I purchased some cool Cheboksary and Chuvashia Tourist Books and CDs from the little little souvenir shop next to the Beer Museum. Maybe you can find some for sale online. There are photos of all the local monuments. On the outskirts of the city there is a large Cheboksary sign where all the newly weds also make a journey to paint their names on the sign. Every year the Government has the sign re-painted.

Maybe the pictures are from Kazan then ?

I think it's Nizhnyi Novgorod.

Okay, I got it from a homepage which reported from Kazan,
but hopefully I can visit both Nizhnyi Novgorod and Kazan

Are you [attachment 460 000001Lem0n.jpg] busy with studies/work?

When?

late April ?

Difficult to say. I will have much free time at the end of April. But I must spend this time preparing for my final exams at university which will take place in the first half of May. They are called 'state exams' in Russia as they are the last ones for Russian university students.
Anyway, I will find time, if you really come to Cheboksary.

Certainly You must prior your important exams.
But a little meeting would also be very nice.

I love Cheboksary!

I have not found any Shema for different

but a national bus system uses Number 501
(nomer) on Moskva – Cheboksary – Kazan.

Our "price-list" for GAZelj (Marshrutki/Mikrobus).
It developes slowly, and the geeks in J'Ola haven't
given much help to it.

What would be a good Russian wine? Are there programs in Russia where people are taught to be wine connoisseurs? They look at a wine and can identify it's texture and the year it was produced. They can also tell what vineyard the wine came from. Where are some of the famous vineyards located in Russia? Of course in the United States wine is produced in Pennsylvania and California. The NAPA valley in California is a known vineyard. I'm sure some Russians produce their own wine and beer. But it's interesting to know what type of correlations there are. Anyone from Cheboksary familiar with this topic?

Good Russian wine is:

Chechen counterfeit vodka + sugar + water coloring

Be careful what you buy. There are many fakes on the shelves.

The wine-making industry is in a bad condition nowadays. The most famous vineyards are located in the former Soviet republics: Moldova, Armenia, Georgia.

: ....but beer and chocolate produced in Cheboksary - those are in good condition )-D

To Lemon. Are there any wines in Russia imported from the United States? The simple wines are Gallo, Almaden, Franzia, and Paul Maisson. While I'm not too familiar with wines because I don't drink anymore, I have found an interest in learning about wine production. Of course the grapes have to come from a good location and fermented in ideal conditions. Storage of wine also has to be ideal. But there are the simple ones I mentioned that can be stored in any condition. Do Russians drink more red wine than white wine? Of course red wine has more anti-oxidants which when consumed, break down the fat in the body. This is why heart disease is not such a big problem in France.

I don't drink alcohol at all. I don't know what wine is more popular in Russia. I don't know if they import any wine from the USA.

Was the Superbowl broadcast over there in Cheboksary? If it was it's good for those tourists who visit Cheboksary from America and can watch it in their hotel rooms. Are there any sportsbars in Cheboksary?

You see, American football is not popular outside America at all. Not everybody knows what it is. NFL games are not broadcast on our public television available throughout the country. There is a couple of sattelite channels in Russia which broadcast NFL games sometimes. One of them always broadcasts the Superbowl game live. Tourists from America had a chance to watch the game.
There are some sports bars in Cheboksary.

I suppose also some american tourists go to Russia to escape from that Superflousbowl.....

Well, djoeye, I wouldn't doubt it. A commercial to be broadcast during the Superbowl, costs the sponsor $ 2.5 million. That's just for one minute. This year it was a larger audience which watched the Superbowl. But I admit, the World Cup Soccer championship draws a larger audience. That's why soccer is growing in intensity in the US. With all the learning of football plays and manuevers, when a football player gets older, he experiences many degenerative diseases related to muscles and the nerves which suppoet them. In the soccer arena, I always root for the European team. I hate the teams of third world countries. But the last time I played football was in 1968 at a picnic in a park close to my home. The teams were divided into the men, and the women. The woman were allowed to stop the men by tagging below the waste. The men stopped the women by tackling them. This was fun. The men got to have their hands all over the women. It was no holds barred tackling. I enjoyed it. Some women ended up hating me after the game. It was a tie. 7-7. I always felt playing football this way was fun.

Is Cheboksary advertised as a tourist destination in Europe by any tourist agencies?

By some Russian agencies.

In the Miami Dade County area where I live, voters recently approved gambling slot machines to be placed in three locations. A dog track, a horse track, and jai alai fronton. I'm not a big proponent of gambling and I'll probably never operate any of the slot machines at the different locations. Are there any locations near Cheboksary or close by where people can operate slot machines? Is there any legalized gambling in Russia.
