We do not think that this year we again find ourselves in astana - the young capital of kazakhstan. working visit to the capital coincided with the summer holidays children, so we decided to combine business and family vacation. especially next to astana (200 km) is a resort area burabay, which we decided to visit immediately after completion of the capital cases. in astana, we have for the third time, and it never ceases to amaze us. in a few years it has been transformed beyond recognition: grown and prettier. continuing to build new houses, complexes. on the first day, we visited the "duman" - one of the main entertainment centers of astana, which is famous all over kazakhstan - oceanarium. of course, the aquarium kazakhstan far from the american or korean, but go and look at the inhabitants of the deep sea is. in addition to the aquarium in the "thinking" there are many different attractions, cinemas.we went to the "jungle lost world" - a new attraction, which the children really enjoyed. tour of the artificial thickets and tunnels with the dinosaurs, pterodactyls, crocodiles, giant amphibians and king kong led the nice girl. the bad news is that because of the low light photos turned substandard premises. at the end of the tour we were invited to a puppet theater neon.the next day the children spent on the playground for children, equipped with exercise machines, houses, slides. entrance to the play area is free.then we walked around the city, went to visit friends. of course, there were also negative in addition to positive aspects.we still can not get used to the layout of the streets of the capital and their signs. pointers streets are so small and so rare, that in search of a street or a house had to do a few laps around the city. i ask the residents of the city (the bulk - it is the newcomers), they either shrug their shoulders or show entirely the wrong direction.after 10 pm, you can not change currency or buy anything. shops and supermarkets are closed at night, and some still-hour lunch breaks. they work all day or until the last customer is only the hotel, pool, cafe. so that astana to grow and grow. i think the disadvantages disappear with time, and the city is really worthy of the title of the capital
The article «The Russian state insignia" is devoted to the history of Russian national symbols: two-headed eagle and white-blue-red flag. Two headed-eagle became a national symbol in 15 th century, when Ivan III married Sophia Poleolog. It was a national symbol for about four hundred years until october revolution, and was restored in 1993. It symbolize that Russia is situated in Europe and Asia. There were several changes in it. For example, in the 17 th century three crowns above eagle were added. The modern national flag was accepted by Boris Yeltsin in 1993. On the flag there are three equal horizontal stripes: white, blue, red. But this flag was used three times before. Firstly, by Peter Great as a trade flag, but in 1958 it was changed to the Emperor`s banner by Alexander II.Secondly, it became a national flag during the reign of Alexander III and was replaced by Soviet Red banner after October revolution, and 76 years after it began the national symbol again.
