Theatres and Clubs

By -
Now about culture. Except sightseeing, you can visit art museum (http://artmuseum.r52.ru/, http://www.unn.runnet.ru/rus/volgovy...izhnov/museum/)
pretty good one. There are a plenty of pictures of famous russian and european artists. It will take about half a day to go through all the pictures.

Now local theatres and more.
  • Ballet Theatre - not bad, though can't be compared to Moscow or St. Pete theatres.
  • Drama Theatre - plays classical (Hello Dolly, Mack the Knife) and of modern russian authors.
  • Comedy Theatre - I don't quite understand it's speciality, though this one is the most fashionable.
  • Young Spectator Theatre (Tyuz). While touring, most of Moscow troupes give performances here. Interesting local event is annual 'Ads Eaters Night'.
  • Puppet Theatre. For kids mostly, though a lot of adults get much of pleasure at the performances.
  • Conservatory. Classical music.
  • Chamber theatre. I never was at.
  • Kremlin Concert Hall. Base for most of music concerts - classical, acoustic or other kinds of music.
  • We have a Circus but I never met a person who was excited after visiting it.
  • Jupiter concert hall. Base for a lot of music and comic tours.
A lot of night clubs have live music, but the most famous (at a good side of glamour) are:
  • Rock Bar - a lot of beer and rock music;
  • Jam prestige - jazz and respectability.
  • Crazy Bizon - beer and good view at the Volga.

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?

By -

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...
