Hey Guys, what do you think, Novosibirsk, are we already in Siberia? NO, we aren t. Many people think Novosibirsk is already in Siberia. I thought so too, til I get there! I don t understand even Wikipedia is telling us Novosibirsk is a part of Siberia. But Locals from Novosibirsk told me: "Novosibirsk is the last area before Siberia beginn." I was pretty confused and I really asked around. All of their citizens told me Novosibirsk is not in Siberia. And I began to believe it. And by the way, at the picture you can see me with a local guy in a bus :)
And here, we can see the facts. Novosibirsk is not in Siberia . But Siberia is beginning after Novosibirsk :)
Novosibirsk is the third biggest City in Russia, after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Novosibirsk was founded pretty late, in 1893.
Back in the days Novosibirsk was a place where people get work. Between 1940 and 1942 there were more than 50 substantial factories were crated up and relocated from western Russia to Novosibirsk in order to reduce the risk of their destruction through war. At this time the city was going to became a major supply base for the Red army in Russia. During this period Novosibirsk get more than 140 000 refugees.
In September 1962 Novosibirsk was the youngest city in the world with about One Million citizens
I will call Novosibirsk also the Capital of mosquito. I was bitten after every third second by a mosquito, grrrrrrrrrr
I recognized, Russians are wearing usual blue suit. In Germany people are wearing usual black suit
If I have to be honest, I was not a fan of this city. Just many high and grey concrete (cement) buildings.
Feel free to take some souvenirs with :)
Can you see the box on the wagon? People can buy a national refreshing drink called -Kvas- Taste: Beer but without Alcohol with sugar :) -strange taste - ..The taste is hard to describe :)
In this city I had the feeling the clock were stoping and Soviet Union is still existing. Like nothing is really changed.
