Day Three

As we mentioned before Petrojaya is a new administrative capitol of Malaysia; its about 20 km away from Kuala Lumpur. The executive branch of power has been relocated here, so Prime-minister and the Government now operate in Putrajaya. It is all new city, very beautiful, modern architecture but you can say its really has some traditional characters, so on the whole its amazing. As it is new it was planned all together so the streets are wide and there is a lot of space; and there is also a huge lake and several wonderful bridges across it. So this day is a preparation for the exhibitions and cultural performances. We had set our booth with some Russian traditional things (matreshka you know) and then had some free time to observe Petrojaya. Its very nice, but kind if empty because it is mostly a city of people doing things and working. But now with all the festival going on it is getting crowded and the central boulevard is all filled with celebrating people. Out from all nice places there we liked Petra Mosque the most. It is incredibly beautiful and it is really nice to get to know something and to see a piece of Muslim culture.

Then we continue preparing our booth and at the same time we try to attend other countries booths also as there is so much interesting stuff there. We ourselves out from showing matreshka-samovar-sushki things drew a map of Russia with all the interesting places and showed it to the guests and explain some things; people get really shocked when they hear about like the amount of the time zones in Russia or the time it takes to go across the country using train. Also we have a special stand to learn Russian language; there is alphabet and also some basic phrases in English and their pronunciation with english letters. People try to this with a real excitement. So the exhibition is basically ready, already we got a lot of visitors in our booth. The next two days it is going to be really crowded down here.

The day ends still in Putrajaya where we are having a dinner in a beautiful place on the coast of the lake (before that - as usual a short photo-set with a stunning sunset on the background and taking like tons of pictures).
