thousand fifty three in the typical grand stalinist style sieberg is one of the biggest and most beautiful towns in the leningrad region the name consists of two parts the word bird meaning a town a fortress and as. many european towns names on the word vi which is said to come from the old german language meaning st the history of the book started in the eleventh century when a small settlement once part of sweden and finland and now russia every centuries the fusion of cultures and traditions has become only too apparent attractions and architectural monuments to a closely connected with its history wow what an amazing view and now the big attracts many tourists with stunning history and amazing architecture ok some of it is a little grotty and rundown but i think that's what gives this place its character also there are many different cultural events and festivals that take place during the year so if you want to enjoy all of them do check the dates before you visit. you can easily save the book is like an open air museum along the cobbled lanes

with the birds medieval castle walk around and a sports vacations or explore the branch of the hematology museum the location has also had many famous guests including russian composing the child link up and the ball street leader vladimir lenin as one of the most european russian locations locals are obviously proud of their home and. i think peter the great wisely chose this area to be. as its a focal point for your country with great legal strength it. makes up it's time to eat and we've arrived at what's called the fast because the restaurant located in a large circular tower is one of the oldest in town that's how it itself was built in the middle of the sixteenth century and since then has at many different uses first part of a massive fortification with time it became a pharmacy and then i mean nation store it was used as a prison in the beginning of the twentieth century after the town grew in the tower

appeared to be right in the center of the book there were plans to destroy it but the architecture of monuments it was in the end preserved and turned into a restaurant. or a national dishes can be tasty. stanwell cooked only in countries of their origin like sushi in japan or specially can the carcasses so don't try to show off like some restaurants instead offering traditional russian and european because the end . inside missing mediæval interior is in some interesting entertainments. i am. pleased to mammas or wrigley quite current. is decorated with new orleans depicting the history of iraq with inscriptions in finnish swedish latin and russian during the war the tower was closed and the restaurant reopened in one nine hundred seventy six since then has become one of the main anything down east in debug. if you're looking for

a popular place to eat in the baroque this restaurant is a great choice not only do they serve delicious food but there's also live entertainment today many times sherry there are many dishes on offer to have gone for the traditional. and the menus are all printed in english and finnish which is ideal for me i was trying to say. absolutely delicious. so what other tourist sites can be to sit in the back there are several museums on the grounds of people's castle and one of them is a museum of torture the rather dog display features contraptions used to punish interrogate and execute people during the middle ages although the museum founders say none of the actual exhibits have enemies in the casa and they are all replicas . of cities with these items representing which is called the late middle ages

there are also solutions from a later period but generally they were not used after the thirty years war in the first half of the seventeenth century we've tried to depict some of the most popular medieval means of execution prevalent in the majority of european turns of the time. there are several restaurants in your pain cuisine. is a bit restaurant in the old town its name comes from the legend connected with the first owner bought hards who also had wine cellars in debug he attracted visitors to his venue offering the largest portions in town also a pile was served to every guest and was promised that the luckiest one could find a pearl inside one of them the pastry with pell's gimmick is long gone but the portions in the restaurant still generous. another restaurant which attracts tourists in the back is cool could it lead to more located in a quaint area in the old historical part of the city the atmosphere in this art cafe as the others call it is quiet and relaxed. when the weather is nice they have

an outside terrace and live music on weekends you can also create additional self choosing from the list of ingredients provided on the menu there are several hotels in beaver granting for modest accommodation to more expensive hotels the victoria hotel in business center is a newly built complex in the city center offering panoramic views of the bay and the castle there are sixty rooms of various types including apartments and studios and also several conference halls of our restaurants and a fitness center. grooving to nature now and after several hours of entertainment and sizing it's time for some fresh air and relaxation one of the main landmarks of the bird and the surrounding area is the manrico park and est and it's all space occupying about one hundred eighty hectors of land various species of plants can be found in the reserved its fauna inside verse in the park attracts many wild animals and birds but the main natural attraction apart is its rocky landscape and

geological formations which can be found anywhere else in the world. by mickey it. is a valuable part of the art of ground parks in the states from the eighty to ninety eight centuries it's a park on the rocks it features a lot of cliffs stones and granite and trees here grow right on the stones. this park is situated on a picturesque islands two kilometers from the city center of. the state ensembles of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries preserved in the north leningrad region with its nature wildlife store buildings and unique landscape a trip here is well worth the effort. funded by the officer in charge of the book it was soon acquired by the governor of the province he used to sing spectacular feasts it was named. french for my arrest for my leisure. and rest it does provide that with incredible scenery nature. i'm while flush this

i brought on in school is a chavez did not know must go go second in the russian premier league back twenty two long time to class and. while still in charge champions manchester united remaining top spot all three to no win against norwich adult traffic in the english premier league. bang out his pride russia coach you can like the other steps down off to the best school three tries in that final you'll see a game against my to australia at the rugby world cup. but first a football and rave on instruct twice as deny my must go to leapfrog to go second in the russian premier league after coming from behind to into want to turn to class and get a ship it seems not to put the visitors ahead alcohol for now but for my liverpool and violated the strike out on any level within three minutes netted the wind up with a clear threat of an hour remaining moscow's side have now won four of the last five games on class without remain seven points adrift and top eight finish in the

regular season. oh me well that was a disappointing debut in the early game for my spartak moscow coach stanislav chesnoff got off to a losing start with his new side to back the chechen club conceding the winner after eighteen minutes to nineteen year old megan mathematician of go down one no time to spot now chick. last often left it later to edge struggling clearly as the battle for home depot it's small nico hitting the post with five minutes left for the ball to bounce off the back of the lets to get to one side and one new victory . was a bitch was back at the helm of on coming after leaving the club three years ago but the montenegrin coach failed. produce an immediate success and his charges were held to a goalless draw at rocky's boulder both sides had a man sent off late on in that encounter. all over england france united remain top but only on one goal difference it's too late second strike zone anderson danny

welbeck the red double speak to know when it's time to norwich match the city a second off the four second half efforts gave them a four no victory at starting that burned unbeaten new castle a third after a two one win brawls at liverpool a fifth thing to know when a ten man everton as a sign aston villa are also undefeated and the six following a two novick should have to wigan and sunderland came from two goals down within the first five minutes to draw two two at home to west brom. now casey stand a look set to reclaim his two thousand and seven major g.p. crown as the australian claimed a record tends pole position of sunday's japanese chrome prix well not all the riders felt at home and not take the track as colin edwards and marco simoncelli slid into the gravel to school their qualification runs but started out was as confident as ever the repsol honda man put in a stirling last lap the defending champion pulled

a renzo to stand in time but it is the osso will complete the front row while another repsol on the lone bank but there i said before it's just time stoner enjoys a comfortable forty four point push and top with just four races to go. because i never resigned as russia's rugby coach despite guiding the bears to the highest scoring debut at the world cup in new zealand russia were the only new side of the showpiece tournament running in eight tries in four defeats and watch the latest battling loss to australia. russia say their best performance last against australia school and made a very one sided in all of these favor but then again as so as the strength and deb's between the two teams was running free tries to get one of the best teams in the world and to keep the school on to below fifty points in terms of points difference they could be extremely proud of their performance. and really had to do

to put on a good second half school three tries and posted twenty two points against those trillions is just great for us so we're leaving this world cup with our heads held high of it was a fantastic atmosphere coming into the game plenty of green and gold supporting the australians but russia weren't lacking in support very few had made the trip for obvious reasons from russia due to the distances involved in travelling but many of the locals from nelson they dig themselves out in russia shirts and would cheer the bears on just like they would try and cheer on the all blacks but when the game would finally get underway the russians were in for a rude awakening as they really found it very difficult to compete with the pace and power of the australians and especially at the breakdown where your story ends offloads. just a little disappointed we are in all of them really in the first twenty minutes which is natural you know a lot of these guys they only see on the television play in super rugby in training missions but once we overcome the fact that they are human like everybody else we

showed what we can do in this experience to stand all these players in groups there . you know hopefully the more excuses like we hired this struggle that the better we will become and we will really become challenges at this level after the initial shell shock the first twenty minutes for bears really came into the game there are produce some fantastic attacking rugby and the great thing about their performance art is tall and learning from their mistakes and also they were really helps on by an incredibly passionate crowd many of them who were from new zealand but really were shouting there all for the bears and i gave them fantastic support. well the guy in a lot of experience from. you know why this sort of standard of rugby waking. you can try and through experience or this you have to apply and i think you know. because it applied. uses is an experience that i want to get and hopefully the improvement on our that i think they've improved as a strong one so that's that's good so i can only get better the number of russia's

players have really enhanced their reputations after this told them and have examined is probably one of the smallest man this world cup has only five foot seven he was absolutely outstanding for a wide as was big to grace if you want to second that man of the match award against australia at this tournament it's great to those two guys you know. with his injury was a blow for us in april. i really didn't expect him to be back to his best the thought he could get back to playing with the right treatment and training but to be back to playing is best is great for us in rugby. for the team and you showed really is in games. you know of work really hard with days is so much potential for russia going out of a pool stage where they really can be incredibly proud of their first ever world cup put in some fantastic displays for wired and won a lot of friends as well as running an eight trying is just our first ever world cup and they will learn from their mistakes and will be better prepared in four

years time if they manage to qualify and receive on hopefully d'arcy nelson new zealand. well australia austria to the quarter finals and so affronts despite losing nine hundred fourteen to tonga in one of the biggest shocks in the history of the tournament despite a defeat that's like the late tribe didn't label it a vital bonus point i'm sure they take that one as not spotting too lightly finds new zealand while tonga will take had memories this week victory. go right know they're going crazy. we're going to get a lot of support when we get to all of them are. you know. i really look up has really come alive. well meanwhile england survived a mighty scared to book their best in the uk and stages they were up against scotland spirited to win by a margin of eight points to realistically stay alive the poor way and the scots did lead twelve to sway after chris paterson scored his second penalty soon after the interval but two penalties and a drop goal from jonny wilkinson plus

a late night try and chris ashton just three minutes to go with the job for england sixteen twelve is the way it finished scots and now all but half of the tournament is to grow stronger. i know this is a lot to get better at but we are going to make it easy for selves as we have we got down to the quarter final. you know we make you very hard for selves at times but i think the main thing is the character we showed to get ourselves out of. a pretty tough old. fun is a goal for defending champion galeano off mr one the russian cup on sunday to clinch the title for the third time as comes in but up of reports. this year's final day of the russian cup to allow it to be a true unpredictable three like thanks to its match play format the first surprise was sprung in the woman semifinals where the monarch who are close to one struck

and i still see a question on the whole however two thousand and five russian champion questioner managed to nab thoughts board in a battle against. doing the necessary playoff. voice for. the first. two and i was upset but. yes this is the second. really. that was what i had to tough matches. and to the final where my marker phrase goes through a twenty two year old monarch a one close to repeating a semifinal success but the score was level after eighteen holes meaning again a playoff would be needed to determine the new owner of the cup on this occasion it was three time russian champion rock mr ally who showed the required poise to add

yet another trophy to her balding cabinet. and really had it to him today i am glad that i had to play against india in an africa and gentle around their match it was a real challenge for me as my heritage and as match me slightly different and i like it meanwhile no one was surprised to see me do that and i know in the men's decider the nineteen year old demonstrating solid bling in the face of pressure throughout the tournament eventually battling his way to a final with a man who shares his trainer with you again walk of the clash being tied on the front nine but teenager been a man of who was a runner up two years ago would finally take the overall victory as strong earlier on the seventeenth. but tournament was very tough especially the first two days i was unsatisfied with my play but i made the cards and then felt more confident i like much play as you get the experience to play one on one with the

opponent. golf is a sport which has yet to get to the imagination of the masses here with football ice hockey and basketball very much ruling the roost but with such intriguing tournament's as the russian cup the hope is that the next lee westwood or any car soren stamp will emerge in the two years soon complain about out of already. and that's all the sport.
