We need more fun!

Hi there, fellow runner and/or designer! Here is another travel post, you might have noticed already that our blog came out to be true travel blog recently. Never mention that recently can not be applied to this composition of words for sure, due to me being lazy, absent and stupid ) Let's fix this crap for now and on.

So, let's talk about Sri Lanka and find out our common level of knowledge in this area of geography. All you might know already is that Sri Lanka is an island. You also may be educated enough to find it on the map -- it's somewhere in the south. You might be confident enough to consider that Sri Lanka is situated in one of southern seas or oceans and you'll be correct -- it's in the Indian ocean. Why, if it’s located in the Indian Ocean, shouldn’t it be close to India? For sure it is, brilliant!

What is Sri Lanka famous for, not speaking about it’s geography? Of course it is well known all over the world for it's marvelous tea industry. And they dig gems, they are great miners be sure. When we are not talking of bitcoins ) In Sri Lanka they produce natural rubber, kauchuck. And they have interesting situation with religion, Sri Lanka is real cradle of multiculturalism. They have plenty of cultures living in peace now. Muslim, Buddhists and Christians with Hinduists.

So. Let’s talk about disadvantages of Sri Lanka for typical stupid tourist. First of all is weather in summer. Due to it’s geographical position, lankians have their rainy winter when we, hardcore northern men have our summer. So the weather is floating around 29 Celsius and heavy showers with lightning bolts from time to time. Without further delays I should say: I am going to visit this island soon. Wish me luck and you’ll get lots of pics in a couple of weeks.

By the way, what do you think about HIIT and fast weight gaining or loosing programs? Know some good ones? Or know something wrong there? Share your knowledge, please.

Moroccan trip and few photos from this marvelous kingdom

Hi there, fellow runner! It's been a long time ago when I wrote you last. Now I've got it, my mistake :) Bug s are fixed and here is some review of my Moroccan trip. It was ages ago, I know, but forgive me -- I have to start with something :)

So here it is, city of Agadir panorama taken from the mountain at it's side

Here is how people should get to their plane in Morocco -- on foot.

Morocco daydreaming and other stuff

Hi there, fellow runner. The spring is finally here, but here in snowy Russia it is still far and winter still grabs it's hold on humankind. How the things are going out there in your lands, countries and cities or small towns? If you'll ask me, I've almost finished my re-reading of Robert Jordan's and Brandon Sanderson's Wheel of time. Meanwhile gained additional 15 kilos of fat and began running again.

For now, one of the main points on my agenda is choosing new running shoes, planning my ongoing vacation and losing this so stupidly gained weight.

As for weight, I still have a plan, but weather in this county makes me feel dizzy and canceled two out of three planned trainings already. Honestly, I've started running last week on Saturday, had a descent run on Sunday and since then I had no opportunity to continue on. The next issue is about overweight. Since this crap occurred, I have troubles running in my current running shoes, legs feel itchy and almost scratchy after slow 30 minutes training. So I added more at home exercises and is googling all day long for a new pair of shoes that I am sure will support my feet in much better way.

The awful weather made me jealous of other countries with other weather conditions. You know, Russia is large and anyone might find his or hers place under warm sun here, but I've found out that I'm stuck in Africa with all my thoughts. I have dreams and daydreams about Tunisia or Egypt. Almost every night and day in that case.

So, I've decided to plan my trip for upcoming vacation and plan it remembering and keeping in mind my beloved Africa. I sure as hell will go to Tunisia again, it is very beautiful country, full of ancient stuff and nature's wonders but I've been there less then a year ago and it would be somewhat weird, won't you say so?

And here I am in front of this dilemma, looking for a calm African country with sea or ocean and which accept Russian tourists with no visa. I've decided to go to Morocco. Always wanted to visit Marrakesh and I am really fond of mountains of Atlas. Wish me a concurrent stay there and nice flight, I'm going to escape this terrible spring and wash away all memories of it in cool waters of  Atlantic ocean.

By the way I'm still thinking and overlooking this matter. I'm planning to have this trip in May or even in June, so there is plenty of time to throw dice few more times and go somewhere else.

Stuff I love: Casio g-shock updates
