Volgograd?
Twas hoping for Moscow..
but then again,
it's much better to be grateful for getting a place at all..
then the date of printing caught my attention.
17th August 2009.
Same date as the 1st day of the final exams...
Looks like our fates were independent of the results, both good & bad..
So where exactly is this Volgograd for the enthusiastic rookie traveller?
Well, for pin-point accuracy, it's in Russia...
In the Western Region, near Europe...
Can't find it?
It's circled with green...
The blue ones being the other locations of JPA - Russian Medical students.
Haven't heard of Volgograd, eh?
It was a major battle area in World War II,
[known as Stalingrad back then]
(& featured in the film "Enemy At The Gates")
& suffered much destruction & damages...
But as time passes,
It eventually recovered & had much progress,
becoming a town 80 kilometres long as of today.
Its most notable landmark is the statue of Mother Motherland that crowns Mamayev Kurgan.
& it's no ordinary statue either.
Think America's Statue Of Liberty is BIG?
Mother Motherland's 3 times larger.

On a different topic,
my aunt who deals with a travel & tours company,
highly recommended me to get an International Student Card.
Reason being: great discounts at places that accept the card.
There's a company in Malaysia that helps in applying for that card.
MSL.
Their innovative pamphlet technique.
