Sveta has gone to spend the day with her mother and son. Sveta will be back early because it is New Year and she does not like to be away from me on that night. I do not go with her because she spends so much time with me that I feel that she needs […]

A new metro station, the world’s deepest, will be opened in downtown St. Petersburg, Russia. (?) The new station is called Admiralteiskaya and lies over 100 meters (330ft) below the surface… Looks like this has been a long and hard project that had many obstacles in its way to completion.
