So, what can I say about my travel to America? It was 100% amazing! In every place I felt myself like a hero of some movie, for example in New York I thought about the film with Eddie Murphy “Coming to America”

I guess I don’t have enough words to explain my feelings. I’ve never felt such an atmosphere. Watching the sunset, eating tasty hot-dogs and drinking hot tea with S’mores, guitar music and warm cloths “from the last century”. I had the feeling of boundless happiness. So sad, that this moment has ended.
