Fine

At 11.00 a.m., we departed from the hotel. We first visited all the islands. We looked afar from Yelaikin Island to the area of Finland Bay. Such good places have been destroyed by this unprecedented war. Is this Buddhist karma? From 1.00 to 4.00 we went to the exhibition museum to see the displays on the resistance war in Stalingrad. It was filled with great content. Though we had guides to explain it it was a pity that the time was too short. So Attaché Hu went there again twice to copy the maps and figures to make a more detailed report. She is very responsible and patient. She is very good.

At 5.00 we visited the headquarters of the Red Youth Vanguard. Its administration was good and the place was pleasant too.

At 7.30 we went to watch a musical comedy called The Bat. It was better than those in Moscow.
