I was happy to receive a reply to my blog post about San Francisco from my friend Ayumu since studying in Western Kentucky University, USA in 2000/01. He mentioned that he has recently been to San Francisco with hie wonderful wife Megmi in March and that they really enjoyed the time, seeing very beautiful city. They really loved it. Now Ayumi enjoying his work in Japan. He is in charge of selling YAMAHA outboard engines in South East Asian Countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia.

That must be fun, sailor!!! I guess when the time comes... I would have to order from you a nice engine for a white yacht.

My schoolmate of Lyceum "Intellect" (Kyiv, at school N 21) Andrew Semenov has sent me a link to his photos from the Pripyat Festival (near Chernobyl).

July 7th to 19th I have been spending in San Francisco Bay area. Was here on the business trip working and meeting people at the headquarters of my company. It was a lot of meetings I had to go through, had to meet about 20 different people. Also few colleagues took care of me well and took me for a few nice off work exploration events. Among others:
  • Exploring streets of San Francisco and San Francisco museum of modern arts for exhibit of sculptures works by Matisse
  • A dog walk in recreation park
  • Filoli - residence, trees and rose garden
  • Santana Row cool district and a French restaurant
  • The Crucible's Fire Arts Festival
  • Russian Disco event at Avalon club
  • Pacific Ocean by Santa Cruz, wharf area with nice Italian restaurant
  • Solitude walk and dinner in the restricted recreation area of Pacific Ocean bay area
Also I had a chance to visit US friend Dina and her dad in UC Davis.
