Far from Poland, in Krasnodar Krai, there is a resort where in a few weeks there will be thousands of ski lovers. Russia's Sochi is the proud host of the 22nd Winter Olympics . For many it is simple - if skiing, then probably the Alps or other mountain ranges rising up towards the sky from the European continent. Not on another one, because it is too far, and besides, too expensive. However, when someone who is not afraid of hundreds of kilometers decides to go on a winter trip, and can afford a fairly large expense, the boundaries may shift significantly. As a result, it can focus on resorts that a skier with a thinner wallet is unlikely to think of. For example, about the famous Russian resort of Sochi, located on the Black Sea.

This is by no means an article about the promotion of drunk skiing. Bania is a charming, intimate ski resort, perfect for a family trip and learning to skate on two boards. Those who love skiing and counting down the days to winter holidays, probably dream of medium or large ski resorts with a wide range of lifts and slopes. They can't wait to test their skills, get an adrenaline rush and gain the recognition of the observers. On the other hand, beginners do not always feel comfortable in such resorts, especially when they see the performances of advanced skiers on the slopes, and they stand on skis, swaying with every movement. In such a situation, it may be a good idea to go to a smaller resort and gain self-confidence on specially prepared slopes, among other skiing adepts. Learning is then great fun, without stress, that someone will look at us disdainfully.

Christmas is the time millions of people around the world are waiting for. It is also a time when a special person takes the attention of many children. This is Santa Claus, who lives in Rovaniemi on a daily basis. There is probably no better time to describe Santa's Village than the end of December. Located on the Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi seems to us, Poles, infinitely far away. So far that some people doubt the existence of a smiling good-natured bearded man in red clothes. And wrongly, because it is enough to write a letter to get an answer in an envelope with a stamp from Lapland. Sometimes you have to wait a few months for her, but Saint is very busy. He does not lack jobs all year round, despite the help of elves, dwarfs and trolls. And of course the reindeer.
