my spring break was really fantastic and unforgettable. on the 21st of march my mom told me that we are going to visit our relatives in almaty. it is the former capital of kazakhstan.

what i was really delighted with was the nature of the region. almaty has a lot of green parks by itself, but what really took mu breathe away was the neighborhood. my mom and i visited many well-known places such as tamgaly tas, issyk kurgan, medeo, alatau mountains, turgen waterfall and charyn canyon. these places gave me so many impressions.

at first, we decided to go to medeo and alatau. medeo is one of the biggest mountain-top skating rinks in the world. it is situated in the vicinity of alatau mountains. we visited these places several times, and every time enjoyed the view of mountains covered with spruces and snow-white peaks.

next destination was issyk kurgan. there are many sandy hills 7 hours east from almaty. but only some of them sing! yah, they really sing when someone walks on them or wind blows, and keep silence when there is no motion. it appears to happen because of special structure of sand that is still under study. the only thing i said was “wow! ”

and finally, we went to tamgaly tas. this place is a historic place of first people, ancestors of kazakh nation. we heard many emotional stories about that place such as history of ancient kazakhs, how they developed workmanship, art and so on. i was very surprised when i saw various pictures of people stamped out on rocks at bronze and iron periods. pictures are so beautiful and unusual. they describe and depict men and animals.

i liked my spring break so much. undoubtedly i will come again to almaty this summer.

when i was a kid, my father and my mother bought me a two- wheeled bike - a real, green color, with black wheels. he at once i really liked. at first i rode on it with small wheels on the rear wheel, not to fall, but it slowly, and i all were. a year later, in the following summer, dad took off wheels and taught me to ride on two wheels. however many times i fell, yet learned on the bike to keep the balance, but now i know how to drive fast and even steer one hand. now i quietly 'm getting ahead of the pope, when he runs away from me. i can for 30 seconds to circle around the ice palace. in the past year i 'm on my bike took part in the competitions at the city stadium, and took the second place among the boys. i even the instrument was given a prize. but in general, i summer love for the fact that in the summer, you can ride a bike. we with the guys from our yard going often to race around the ice palace. and still i like to ride a bicycle through the puddles. i love my bike and i can ride on it though the entire day. of all the toys i most of all i love my bike.

i always thought babies were born as blank slates and the parents molded and taught them gender roles, etc.  i had two boys. we didn't allow guns in the house. we didn't talk about them, just basically ignored their existence. the first time the oldest got some lego blocks, he built a gun! we had plenty of toys and dolls etc, and he always went for the cars and traditionally "male" toys. we didn't encourage it, he wasn't in childcare, he was just "like that."my best friend had two girls, the same ages. the wanted to do the girly things when they came over.  we moved away and had two girls. meanwhile my friend had some boys. she later called and apologized for all the things she had said about my parenting. i was amazed at how different and easier girls were.  i have always been a women's libbist, and have a degree in chemistry. but i had to admit i was wrong about the blank slate idea.  my second son did have a period when his sister was born when he was inseparable from his baby doll, that he dragged around by the leg.he refused to put clothes on it, so i had to crochet a little dress directly onto the doll because i didn't like her being naked all the time.  and my older daughter insisted on climbing trees and couldn't stand dolls. she is like me, not a girly girl at all. but the older one now has a degree in linguistics and is choosing to stay at home and raise children while her husband works. they hope to get a big horsefarm someday and work together doing tourist rides in alaska.despite my women's libbist tendencies, i have loved being a mom and my kids are wonderful, so i must have done something right. my brother-in-law stayed home with the kids while my sister worked, and that worked for them.  the bottom line is that boys and girls are overall wired differently, but there is some overlap. there will always be traditionally female and male roles, but also with some overlap. the one thing we can do to really screw up society is to have quotas. the best thing to do is to encourage each person to follow their heart.
