Sightseeing

By -
NN is divided on two parts by the river Oka. One part is low and is called 'Zarechje' (on the left shore). Upper part is called 'Nagornaya' (on the right shore). It is situated on high-lands called 'Dyatlovy Gory' (Dyatlovy Hills'). 3 bridges connect parts, and that's our main problem - traffic through bridges.
The best sight is lower shore from the opposite. The best local sightseeing is Kremlin, churches (a plenty in different parts of town), Rozhdestvenskaya str. with the houses of merchants, Bolshaya Pokrovskaya str., Verchne-Volzskaya Naberezhnaya.
There are 7 districts.
  • Nizhegorodsky - the oldest. Most sight seeing is located here. Business and administration centre of the city.
  • Sovetsky - new district. Nearest to Nizhegorodsky. Nothing interesting. Good to live in.
  • The same goes to Prioksky.
  • These are three right-shore districts. Now about left shore.
  • Kanavinsky. Second the oldest. Some good sightseeings, including ancient Fair. Good to live.
  • Moskovsky. New one. Quite far from cultural and business centre.
  • Sormovsky. Old one (was a town itself in XIX century). Farthest from centre. Have some sightseeings.
  • Avtozavodsky. New, far from centre, bad traffic. The best hotel in the city (Volna). Lowest living costs.

Why writing tool ApolloPad didn't suit me

I'm trying to find a writing tool more convenient than a usual text processor for a writer. A wide choice of software is offered in the market, but many writers had attempted and got back to Microsoft Word and its alternatives. My case with ApolloPad is one of the kind. After an initial brief study of about 15 programs and online tools, I had sorted out four of them to give a try in real work. Apollo was one of these four. After two hours of using it, I decided to quit. So, what is ApolloPad, why it tempted me, and what had gone wrong? Its developer Dave Child describes ApolloPad as a „distraction-free writing environment for budding authors“. I can add that it works online, with well-known pros and cons of online tools. ApolloPad is not a finished piece of work, it runs as a beta version. Else, it is free to use – the main advantage before Scrivener. The developer promises that „you will be able to extract your work quickly and without a fee after the beta“. The „after“ is a...

Saratov vs Nizhny Novgorod: Which's Better For Tourists?

I had a trip to Saratov recently, so it was a good opportunity to compare it to Nizhny Novgorod from the tourist's point of view. Saratov and Nizhny have much in common. Both towns stand on the Volga, have similar climate (a bit warmer in Saratov), comparable size and age (Saratov is a little bit smaller and younger). Now about distinctions. Streets and buildings in Saratov were definitely more dirty and in worse condition. Traffic jams were a big problem of Saratov. We commuted a lot during our trip, and I can't remember us moving free for 5 minutes straight. Nizhny Novgorod hasn't solved the traffic problem completely yet, but in recent years we had seen serious improvements. Nowadays you can cross the town before you begin to hate outnumbered starts and stops. Chapaeva str. in Saratov. Having said that, in Saratov drivers are more fast and dangerous. It's a common tendency for all towns of Russia: in southern regions of the country drivers are 'hotter...
