Kazan, monday the 8th of September 2008

Kazan is the capital city of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, and one of Russia's largest cities. It is a major industrial, commercial and cultural center, and remains the most important center of Tatar culture. Kazan lies at the confluence of the Volga and Kazanka Rivers in central European Russia.

I went to Kazan because when I was working in Dubai, Justin, my boss told me He had built a bridge there, so I wanted to go and see it... And as well because , Freddy, another colleague of VSL told me that the most beautiful girls in the world were there.... :) Largely enougth to excit my curiosity...

Kazan train station
My first impression... Asi walked into the ruined streets closeby the train station...


Bauman Street


A russian girl that helped me find my way, in front the Kazan State University. Happy to have someone to practice english with, she proposed to show me the city around... very cool!
Lenin was a student in that university before he was banned from it, because of his political ideas.... Now he has his statue in front of that university.
In front of Kazan Kremlin.
Tatar people are muslim. Here is a beautiful mosque in the kremlin.

Ok Freddy, I agree with you... My beautiful and sexy city guide!! Hi heels, short shorts, sexy top... A real russian girl. Lovely.... I'm under her charms!!

Hey Justin, that your bridge isn't it !!! Well done man!

I just stayed during the day in Kazan.
I arrived in the morning with an overnight train from Moscow, and left by 8pm with the overnight train to Yekateringburg.
I did have a lot of time (only 7 days before my russian visa expired, so 7 days to be in Mongolia), so I could not stay overnight in the city,  but it was enougth to have a nice overview of another big Russian city than Moscow and St petersburg... And it is very different.
