  • Prague Beer | Vitali Vitaliev | Czech Republic | Prague Region | Prague
    … I could not believe my eyes: Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the great leader and teacher of workers, peasants and executioners of all countries, was standing in front of me in the office of the Staropramen brewery in the central Prague area of Smichov...

  • Westminster Hotel | Vitali Vitaliev
    Having breakfast in the posh and windowless Salon President at Westminster Hotel is like visiting a Disneyland Haunted House pavilion: on Sunday mornings, when guests are eating to the accompaniment of the old grand piano, one can easily imagine...

  • Tigerlily | Vitali Vitaliev
    Having given up cigarettes nearly two years ago, I am still instinctively sensitive to a smoking (or these days overwhelmingly non-smoking) policy of the establishment I am staying at - a result of many years of humiliation and harassment I had...

  • Riad La Terrasse des Olivier | Vitali Vitaliev
    The word "riad" means "sumptuous" in Arabic. In Marrakech, it has come to denote a small privately owned hotel inside or on the fringes of the Medina – a picturesque and ever-so-hectic Old Town, where cars, bicycles, people and donkeys keep happily...

    It takes a powerful sat-nav – or a dedicated escort – to locate Zamzam Riad in the winding narrow streets of Marrakesh’s medina. In this respect, the riad aptly reflects its name, which in Arabic means "a holy water well in the desert". Just like...
