Many friends have asked about where we'll adopt from this time. We have decided to explore a different region in Russia and we'll be traveling to Vladivostok this time. Here is some information about it.
Vladivostok is Russia's largest port city on the Pacific Ocean and the administrative center of the Primorsky Kraj region. It is situated at the head of the Golden Horn Bay not far from Russia's border with China and North Korea. It is also the home port of the Russian Pacific fleet. Their time zone is 15 hours ahead of eastern time.
Average temperature in January: −13.2 °C (8.2 °F)
Average temperature in August: 20.6 °C (69.1 °F)
In 2012, Vladivostok will host the 24th Summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. In preparation for the event, the infrastructure of the city is being renovated and improved. Two giant cable-stayed bridges are currently under construction in Vladivostok, namely the Zolotoy Rog bridge over the Zolotoy Rog Bay in the center of the city, and the Russky Island Bridge from the mainland to Russky Island, where the summit will take place. The latter bridge will become the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world upon completion.
