How did you celebrate
Minsk`s birthday? Which event impressed you most?
If to be honest, I forgot about Minsk`s birthday, and recollect about it only when my friend and me went to the Gorky park where there was was conducted the concert. So I just went to the park and watched the concert.
ОтветитьУдалитьI like Historical Festival ‘Ancient Minsk’ because I really like to watch something like that. It's informative because we can see how for example occurred battles of the Middle Ages.
I went to the city day on Sunday. I was at the knight tournament, I looked at the running athletes, I also was at the exhibition of masters and have bought cornflower wreath for my great-aunt to the USA. And then I went to the pizzeria and have celebrated this holiday.

ОтветитьУдалитьI forgot about Minsk's birthday too. So i went to the center of the cty only at late evening. I called my friend to have fun with me. There were a lot of people, it was noisy and fascinating.
ОтветитьУдалитьJморс were performing there. But we were late, so we were listening only two last songs.
And when the concert was over people were looking forward big festive fireworks. I really liked it. The show was exciting. The happiness was in the air.
