Welcome to Samara

Yeah I realize that it's a little late, but better late than never! Here are a few postcard-like photos from the city. Some are my photos, but most are from my flatmates. Also, see the video that Riet made for Mikko's goodbye. Mikko was living in Samara for 9 months and she collected a lot of blackmail. Here's the compilation.


Volga River looking towards the city of Samara. In the distance, you can see the statue of a man holding airplane wings. He stands in the Square of Glory.




Drama and Opera theatre.

Revolution Square. Also where I can catch many marchutkas. Hooray.


A hotel/restaurant not too far from one my language institutes.


The bridge over Samara River.

    It's a lovely city. Especially when it's covered by snow...and especially when i am inside looking out from a window.
