AGAIN (former) Soviet Union (continued, p.2) In the morning we decided to walk on the Potemkin stairs. Typically, a city famous for its towers, monuments or buildings, but one of the symbols of Odessa is a set of 192 granite steps located unequal marches. We counted the number of stages in the marches, we've got the numbers 12, 19 and 20, and then we fed to these calculations. Happiness - is a warm gun «Happiness Is a Warm Gun in Your Hand», happiness - is a warm gun in your hand, sounds like that original name still one of my favorite songs of the Beatles. And the sarcastic anti-war slogan has a great look as the title of this section. Now continue the story of the city of Odessa. Welcome to the glass house! Most people know that such a Potemkin Stairs, thanks to the classic Sergei Eisenstein film "Battleship Potemkin". In June 1905 Russian sailors rebelled and took the ship under control. At this point, for the past two weeks in Odessa were massive strikes. The leader of the uprising had been shot and his body thrown to the bottom of the stairs. Thousands of people came to express my respect and support to rebellious sailors. After some time on the part of the city came up units of troops loyal to the king. Soldiers opened fire on a peaceful crowd and people began to flee, many jumped into the sea, killing about two thousand people. Do you want to know a secret? «Do You Want To Know A Secret», as an avid Beatles fans, I continue to entitle paragraphs song titles, this time I chose a track where the lead singer - George Harrison. Lighthouse in the port city of Odessa descended the stairs, we began to wander about the pier, where there are large and hideously ugly building of the hotel "Odessa". I was very surprised at how architects and builders managed to construct a hideous building, which also does not fit into the surrounding landscape. Although I would be glad if I have enough money to stay here rather than in a similar hostel in the "Black Sea tourist hotel, which is owned by an eccentric Australian millionaire named Kerry. Generally, if someone else decides to open a hotel of this kind, then Kerry immediately reduce the price by half and quickly their competitors will survive. A friend of mine told me that he once stayed with Kerry, and that the Australian pretty slick style. Moreover, it is also quite up to hunt the female sex. Enterprising sladostrastets hires only attractive women and dismiss them if they will not meet its dubious whims. In this case, he made almost a contract, which describes everything that they need to do. I think that Benny Hill would suit something like that, if not dead, just retired. Start material: Read more:
