"The nature"
Onviously "the nature" is hardly restricted to Vladimir, Russia. However, I lived in Vladimir for a year, during which time I was invited to spend a day "in the nature" (a Russlishism there, obviously) with friends numerous times.
Gorky Park
Gorky Park has been described as the Russian Disneyland, although anyone visiting the park with those expectations will be sorely disappointed. I would describe it as more of the Russian equivalent to a county fair.
Gatbawi
One of the most well known attractions on Mt. Palgong (Palgongsan) is Gatbawi: a giant stone Buddha atop one of the peaks, with a large stone “hat” on his head.
Donghwa Temple (Donghwasa)
This Buddhist temple, located on Palgong Mountain (Palgongsan), just north of Daegu, was founded in 493AD.
Cathedral of St. Dmitri
This uniquely designed and intricately carved white stone church was built in 1190.
Trubetskoy Home (Decembrist Museum)
Located in downtown Irkutsk, the Trubetskoy home - former residence of exiled Decembrist rebels - now serves as a museum to the Decembrist exiles.
Chunyang
Chunyang is a small rural village outside of Andong. This tiny town provides an accurate glimpse into modern day rural life in Korea.
Miscellaneous Daegu
Daegu (also spelled Taegu, 대구 in Korean) is the fourth largest city in South Korea, and the Daegu area has been inhabited since 1500BC. The city is home to roughly three million people.
Bogoyavlensky Church
Located along the bank of the Angara River in downtown Irkutsk, the vibrant colors of this church make it definitely worth seeing.
Volcan Arenal
Volcan Arenal, the Arenal Volcano, is one of the active volcanoes in Costa Rica. Located just outside of the town of La Fortuna, the volcano provides a spectacular backdrop to your Costa Rican adventures.
