A [BIG] DREAM COMES TRUE: UKRAINE (Part-5)

   


                                                             ~ODESA~


(Part-2)


I would like to talk about Odesa's transportation before I mention about the park which is the entrance of Deribasovskaya Street...

The transportation  in Odessa is currently supplied by trams (streetcars), trolleybuses, buses and fixed-route taxis (marshrutka). Odessa also has a cable car, cable-way, and recreational ferry service…When I was in Odessa, I used trams, trolleybuses and for sure marshrutka (fixed-route taxis)…When we consider that Odesa has over than 1 million population…it is normal to have these kind of transportations...

And let's turn to talk about this park...This park is Odessa's first park, which was after the foundation of the city in 1803 by the De Ribas brothers (Joseph and Felix). This park has a fountain, several monuments (especially a sculpture of a lion), a famous book about chairs-The Twelve Chairs and monument of Leonid Utyosov...


The Famous Chair



The monument of Leonid Utyosov

Leonid Utyosov was a famous Soviet jazz singer and comic actor...There is a nice monument of him in this park...It is a very nice touristical monument which hosts many tourists from all around the world...People come there and sit on this chair and take photos with him...


Kisa Vorobyaninov

Ostap Bender and us


Kisa Vorobyaninov and Ostap Bender are two important characters from The Twelve Chairs book...and there are two sculptures of them in this park too...

After a nice excursion in this park I turned the left and started to walk...after 15 minutes...I came across with the "Monument of Orange"...

Monument of Orange


When I just turned the right from Monument of Orange, I had started to witness of beauties of Odessa...just imagine a long way under covered by huge trees...It was such a spectacular way for me to walk...
