     This weekend I had the chance to visit “White Night Festival” in Perm city. It’s annual event held in June every year.  The name “white night” in Russia is well-known as the period of time between June-August which is summer time.  The day time is longer than night such other cities as St. Petersburg, Petrozavodsk or Murmansk. At this period in Perm city, the day time is last until 10 pm.  It is typical phenomenon in northern countries which located near the north pole.

   So people have more time to enjoy their activities, so do I!
